SDK for LPC1549

[DanielLongo]

I am new to NXP MCUs and have installed MCUXpresso IDE and Config Tools. I need an SDK for the LPC1549. I am on the MCUXpresso SDK Builder page\Boards\LPC, but I don't see an option for the LPC1549. Perhaps there is a generic SDK that will work? Which one? I have the LPC1549 with JTAG and SWD connections and a dev board for the programmer/debugger. I'm just lost as to where I find the SDK to get started in MCUXpresso. Your help is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi @DanielLongo,

The LPC1549 is a legacy LPC from the LPCXpresso era, which is why it does not have an SDK like the newer LPC55xx or LPC8xx devices. These old LPCs used something called LPCOpen, which is a set of libraries, drivers and example codes that allow for the easy development of LPC projects (similar to SDK nowadays). You can find the LPCOpen libraries for your device on the following website: LPCOpen Libraries and Examples | NXP Semiconductors

Also, take a look at the MCUXpresso User Guide for more information on how to use LPCOpen with the IDE.

BR,
Edwin.

Thanks for the heads up. That makes sense. I'll dive into the user's guide and see if I can get it to play nice..
