Hello,
for a new project I want to use LPC550x microcontroller with IAR Embedded Workbench: in the past I have used other LPC MCU (LPC1317, LPC1788, LPC1788)
Now i read everywhere that some functions can be managed only by using API but I don't understand how to use them; are these function available only with MCUXPRESSO?
I would like to avoid API and write my own code but I don't fine the C code of these API. For example CAP BANK for oscillators are only documented with API so if I don't use API I can't use these CAP BANK. Is it correct?
I have a big confusion in my mind about this.
Can anyone help me? It's for my job
Best regards.
Hello @Lor75
For newer NXP MCUs, including the LPC55xx series, we recommend using the MCUXpresso SDK drivers, which include both APIs and source code.
You can download the SDK from:
https://mcuxpresso.nxp.com/builder?hw=LPCXpresso55S06&rel=943
Additionally, the LPC55xx series is supported by MCUXpresso IDE, which is free to use with no restrictions on functionality or code size.
You can download MCUXpresso IDE from:
If still have any question, please feel free to contact me. Thank you.
