Mbed NXP LPC1768 microcontroller

[nickccc]

Hello

I have recently acquired one of these. I haven't had much luck getting things to work with mbed compilers and it was suggested in another for forum to 'revert back' to MCUXpresso.  Before I head in that direction just thought I would message here to get thoughts on that?

Hi @nickccc,
Before you change the IDE, I recommend you check the documentation that mbed have about the MBED LPC1768 where you can find example codes, latest firmware and related question about the microcontroller.

Hi Pablo,

may I also have a question?

I also have an LPC1768 at home, it is on an LPCXpresso board from Embedded Artists.

A few years ago I could use it, that times I had LPCXpresso on my Linux machine.

Time has spent since then. Nowadays I tried this board again, only for hobby purposes. Like @nickccc, I was also unable to bring it to work. It seems, MCUXpresso doesn't support the programmer (LPCLink?) anymore.

I was also unable to manage the installation of an old LPCXpresso on my Linux Mint machine.

This is not a critical issue. I know, that LPC1768 is at the end of its life. I just tried to play a little with this board, and just would like to be sure:

Is it not useful anymore, or am I doing something wrong?

Hi @Bela1,
You can try an example of the LPC1768 in order to see if it's a configuration issue.

You can export and LPC Open example in MCUXpresso following the next steps:

Inside this folder you just need to search for your LPC.

Also, there will be two examples named lpc_chip and lpc_board, these two projects are needed in order to build any project, just make sure there are open in the same workspace as the example you want to build

You can also use the build all button in order to build the three projects at once.
