There is nothing in LPCXpresso that will count build numbers, but if you can do this externally and set an environment variable, then you can pass that into LPCXpresso and set a compiler switch.

If your build number is store in an environment variable call "BUILD_NUM":

In the Compiler properties under "Symbols" define symbol

BUILD_NUMBER=${env_var:BUILD_NUM}

Then to use it in your source code, you need to do this

#define STR(x)#x
#define STRINGIZE(x)STR(x)

#define VERSION "(Build " STRINGIZE(BUILD_NUMBER) ")"

I´m sorry if I was not clear.

Per example, in lpcXpresso the release is LPCXpresso v7.5.0 [Build 254]. I think the value v7.5.0 is the version value and the 254 is the compilation version of the software.

I want to do the same process in my firmware, do you now if exist a macro or other type of parameter to use to do it ?

I'm sorry but it is not clear what you are asking.

Do you want to add a version number string into your application? If so, where is the version number defined?
