LPCOpen Library cannot download.

[Hamish1]

I will use MCUxpresso to develop LPC micrcontroller.

I has been installed the IDE, but I cannot download LPCOpen for LPC4078 now.

Who can help to resolve the problem?

Hello @Hamish1,
You can follow these steps to import LPCOPEN examples in MCUxpresso version 24.12:

In the QuickStart Panel click on import project(s) from file system:

Click on browse:

Select LPCOpen and select your board. Once you have selected your board, click next.

In order for it to compile correctly you have to import at least these two examples:

Also, the example you will use:

Click finish.

Also, if you experience any issue, does not hesitate to let me know.

Hello,

It sounds like you're encountering a common hurdle when setting up your LPC microcontroller development environment. Let's break down the potential issues and solutions for downloading LPCOpen for the LPC4078 within MCUXpresso IDE.

Understanding the Situation

LPCOpen: This is a software library provided by NXP (formerly Philips) that offers drivers, middleware, and examples for LPC microcontrollers. It simplifies development by providing pre-written code for common peripherals.
LPC4078: This is a specific microcontroller within the LPC4000 series.
MCUXpresso IDE: This is NXP's integrated development environment for its microcontrollers.
Troubleshooting Steps

NXP Website Resources:

The most reliable source for LPCOpen is the NXP website. Navigate to the NXP website and search for "LPCOpen LPC4078".
NXP has transitioned their software delivery to MCUXpresso SDKs. Search the NXP website for "MCUXpresso SDK Builder". This tool allows you to select your specific microcontroller (LPC4078) and generate a customized SDK package. This is the modern way to get the libraries you need.
The SDK Builder will generate an SDK that is compatible with your version of MCUXpresso IDE.
MCUXpresso SDK Manager:

MCUXpresso IDE has an integrated SDK Manager. Open the IDE and look for the SDK Manager.
Within the SDK Manager, you should be able to search for and install SDKs for your target microcontroller.
Ensure that your MCUXpresso IDE and SDK Manager are up-to-date.
Direct Download (If Available):

Older versions of LPCOpen might still be available as direct downloads from NXP's website or archived resources. However, using the MCUXpresso SDK builder is highly recommended.
If you find a direct download, ensure it is compatible with your version of MCUXpresso IDE.
Internet Connectivity:

Verify that your computer has a stable internet connection. The SDK Manager and online downloads require internet access.
Firewall and Antivirus:

Temporarily disable your firewall and antivirus software to rule out any potential interference with the download process.
MCUXpresso IDE Installation:

If you encounter persistent issues, consider reinstalling MCUXpresso IDE. Sometimes, installation errors can lead to problems with the SDK Manager.
NXP Community Forums:

The NXP community forums are a valuable resource. Search for similar issues or post your question. Other developers and NXP support engineers can provide assistance.
