Hi,

It seems that DigiKey already has LPC122X version of LPCXpresso and it costs only $19.95 http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=568-6642-ND. Have anyone bought it already? Or is it just a typo?

Thank you,
Paul

Quite a few places also have the devices in stock http://www.findchips.com/avail?part=lpc122

Doesn't seem to be a typo.  I paid $19.95 plus a couple of bucks for (USPS) postage.  The board arrived yesterday.  It works perfectly well with LPCXpresso v3.6 and my existing USB cable.  It came populated with an LPC1227_301.

Only if you expect it for free. :p

There is this IDE for WIN, OSX, Linux and Solaris.  Plus it supports ARM7, ARM9, Cortex-M0/3/4 and XScale devices from Atmel, Energy Micro, FreeScale, Intel, Marvell, NXP, Stellaris, ST, Toshiba, etc., and a wide range of debuggers (unfortunately not  LPCXpresso - but it does support ST-LINK and many others). :)

Looks like competition for the STM32 Value Line Devices which are Cortex-M3 based with 16-128k Flash, 4-8K RAM, and TQFP48,64,100 packages.  The ST-VLDiscovery board is $11.85 with a 64-pin, 128/16k Flash/RAM device and ST-LINK programmer/debugger. The ST's do have 12-bit DAC's (and 12-bit ADC's) which no one else has.

WOW, more pins, more features and lower price. All I see is missing is an IDE for Linux.

Will Code_Red support this chip with the same excellent compiler and IDE?

Look at your LPCXpresso MCU settings and you'll find LPC1200 :):)

LPC-Link is using SWD already :)

I saw this too.  Makes me very curious.  What is Serial Wire Debug (SWD)?  Will Code_Red support this chip with the same excellent compiler and IDE?  Is this board also designed by Embedded Artists?

Serial Wire Debug is the normal debug communication mechanism for most Cortex based MCU's. LPC12xx is thus no different in this respect to, say, LPC11xx and LPC13xx.

Support for the LPC12 was introduced in LPCXpresso 3.6.2....
  http://knowledgebase.nxp.com/showthread.php?t=1521

Currently only minimal examples are provided for LPC12 in the LPCXpresso 3.6.2 install, but you can expect to see some additional examples from NXP in the very near future.

The LPCXpresso1227 board is indeed produced by Embedded Artists.

Naturally I had to order one, sight unseen.

Nice price. Buy it before they realize the error in their ways!:)
