We are pleased to announce that MCUXpresso IDE v10.2.1 (build 795) is now available.

This is a maintenance release that builds upon the previous MCUXpresso IDE v10.2.0 release, and we recommend that all existing users download and install this new version.

Hi community

For some time now we have based our product developments on Kinetis devices and uTasker and are very pleased with the simplicity and reliability that results (as well as Mark's personal support).   One of our main product development requirements was to eliminate custom host USB drivers.  Having end users install drivers is a support headache and we wanted as much plug and play as possible  With utakser, we've been using the following: 

• USB Flash driver, 
• USB Keyboard interface and 
• USB serial interface.

The Kinetis Design Studio support has been phased out. The latest SDK version 2.4 doesn’t support this toolchain. The SDK builder always builds new SDK packages from the latest SDK version supporting the selected device/board/kit. That is the reason why KDS is not on the list of the available toolchains now.

Attached is a sample source code for OTP programming in NXP LPC54018 MCU.

Brief about the example:

The example programs 4 words of data each into OTP bank 1 and OTP bank 2. The example uses LPC54018 SDK drivers. The complete SDK for LPC54018 can be downloaded from Welcome | MCUXpresso SDK Builder .

I was surprised to learn MQX(Ver 4.2) does not support SPI Slave configuration.

Reference

There are many workarounds in the community but the information is in bits and pieces. So i decided to write this note.

I wanted to configure SPI0 Channel on MK64FX512VLQ12 board as Slave driven by interrupt in which can call MQX APIs. I have MQX Ver 4.2 installed.  My base BSP is derived from TWR-K64 board BSP given by MQX. IDE is KDS.f Reference hardware is TWR-K64 board. 

If you are searching for a high-performance, power efficient, yet cost sensitive MCU for your designs, then here is the exciting news: NXP recently introduced the LPC51U68 MCU.

NXP has released new updates to the MCUXpresso suite of software and tools. These updates include support for new Kinetis, LPC and i.MX RT devices based on the Arm Cortex-M core, along with improved features and functionality.

We are pleased to announce that MCUXpresso Config Tools v4.1 are now available.

MCUXpresso Configuration Tools is a product with set of tools that help users of all levels with a Cortex-M-based MCU solution.

We are pleased to announce that MCUXpresso IDE v10.2.0 (build 759) is now available.

This is a major new version of the IDE, and contains many new features and enhancements over the previous v10.0 and v10.1 releases. The attached presentation, recommended viewing for all users (new or experienced),  provides an overview of many of the major changes, as well as things to be aware of when upgrading from an earlier release

@jennymplunkett from the Arm mbed team just posted a great tutorial using the LPCXpresso54608 touch screen on her blog... check it out at https://os.mbed.com/blog/entry/How-to-LPCXpresso54608-touch-panel/

The LPC800-DIP board is now being sold by Coridium for just $10:

We are pleased to announce that MCUXpresso IDE v10.1.1 (build 606) is now available.

This is a minor update to the MCUXpresso IDE v10.1.0 release, the main changes being to fix a small number of SDK handling related issues.

Now updated to v201

We have updated the attached document detailing various features relating to using the iMXRT1050-EVK(B) evaluation board with MCUXpresso IDE v10.2.1 and SDK v2.4.x.

We are pleased to announce that MCUXpresso Config Tools v4 are now available.

MCUXpresso Configuration Tools is a product with set of tools that help users of all levels with a Cortex-M-based MCU solution.

I have the OM13086 Cloud Connectivity Kit
I have been following the ZentriOS "Quickstart Guide".
As part of the Zentri OS Quickstart procedures, I chose "Custom Install", so instead of using the "Zentri IDE", I'm uisng LPCXpresso 8.2.2, with the Zentri SDK plugin

We are pleased to announce that MCUXpresso IDE v10.1.0 (build 589) is now available.

This incorporates many new features, as well as enhancements based on feedback that we have received since the original MCUXpresso IDE v10.0.0 launch back in March.

Today we announced the new LPC8N04, NFC-enabled MCU. We will be demonstrating the board at ARM Techcon in San Jose, and the lucky first 100 visitors to the NXP booth can exchange their business card for a free board!

You may be interested to know that we recently released a new set of debug firmware and Windows 7 drivers for our boards that feature the LPC11U3x MCU as a debug probe (so all the "MAX" boards). The new firmware can be found under the Software & Tools tab of the board page you are using  http://www.nxp.com/demoboard/omxxxxx (where xxxxx is the board part number, such as om13071, om13097, etc.

MCUXpresso IDE v10.0.2 (build 411) is now available.

Win a S32K144 or MPC5744P Development Kits. Do you want to know how ? Follow this topic for the next weeks and you'll find out more details.

Let us start by giving you a few hints:

- it is big event

- it has to do with Model Based Design

- it is something we build from scratch for that event based on S32K and MPC5744P

For the low pin count and small memory footprint LPC800 family, NXP offers free LPCOpen Driver Code and Example Code Bundles. 

The LPCOpen Driver Code for LPC81x/82x/83x series, is an Application Programming Interface (API) base. For users who are not too concerned with overall code size, LPCOpen provides the ease of use without diving into details of each peripheral registers, and it is easy to migrate from LPC8xx to LPC11xx family. 

The link below is a step-by-step tuturial how to use the LPC800-DIP board with the MCUXpresso IDE

The MCUXpresso IDE has flexible ways how to use 'disconnect' and 'terminate'. Read more about this in

Nice project from Kevin Townsend showing off capabilities of LPC824 with it's state configurable timer to drive Neopixel and IR distance application.

I love seeing how our LPC community uses our microcontrollers ... keep sharing what you create and let's continue to support and invest in each other.  

Hi LPC fans,

We have very good news to share with you today.

As you know, one of the major roadmap for LPC this year is the LPC546xx release.

And it will be coming soon~~~, as you all expected.

For this new and hot product, the LPC SE team has prepared a serial of training slides covering almost every peripheral and aspects of LPC546xx.

I have completed an article (external link) describing how existing Kinetis Design Studio projects can be imported and used in the MCUXpresso IDE

The following article (external link) shows how to install the Eclipse Market Client into the MCUXpresso IDE

The following article (external link) shows how to genereate S-Records (.s19), Intel Hex (.hex) and Binary (.bin) files:
