Hello there,
I would like to know how to include the examples' library driver to a new empty project and how to create a project from scratch using simple REGISTER definition instead of the "complex" structures includes in LPC11xx.h.
Best regards,
Andres Rada.

If you are referring to the example code for driving peripherals contained in the latest NXP produced examples for LPC11xx (for example the NXP_LPCXpresso1114-301_2011-01-27.zip provided with LPCXpresso 3.6.3), then you might want to take a look at the readme for the template project provided within these examples.

There is also more information on examples in general at:

If you are struggling to understand the structures in LPC11xx.h, then I would suggest that you take a look at the following FAQ, which amongst other things  describes how to use the CMSIS definitions for accessing peripheral registers....

Use the [I]Import archived projects[/I] from the [I]Import and export[/I] section of the Quickstart panel.
Select only the library projects (and the CMSIS) projects to import in any workspace you created.

Don't forget to create you 'application'  project as an LPCXpresso C project. you can do this either via the File -> new - Other and then select "LPCXpresso C project", or click the little button on the toolbar that shows "create new project with startup code, linker script and main()". It's the little blue box with the 'C' inside and a little yellow '+'.
Select your LPC version and the library you want to use.
The "Semihosting"  projects will provide printf() functionality via the console window of LPCXpresso.
