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.

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:

Enjoy!

If you have already Kinetis Design Studio v3.x installed on Linux, then you might run into a P&E driver installation problem while installing MCUXpresso IDE v10.0.0 build 344.

The following blog post gives a tour through some of the features in the NXP MCUXpresso IDE:

MCUXpresso IDE: Unified Eclipse IDE for NXPs ARM Cortex-M Microcontrollers | MCU on Eclipse 

I am humbled and energized after spending a week with 30,000+ engineers at this year’s Embedded World!

Amazing.  That’s the only way to describe the passion and enormity of our LPC FANS across Europe.  LPC is deep-rooted in the hearts of many and I am lucky to be a part of this inspired, tightknit community.    Embedded World has a strong place in the heart of LPC. 

My personal highlights from the event .... LPC FANS, What's Popular, MCUXpresso & Geoff.

We gave out 200 of our LPC800 DIP breakout board (with an LPC824 installed) at Embedded World last week ... they were snapped up pretty fast! For those lucky folks who grabbed one, here is the schematic. Pretty simple stuff, probably actually easier to read on the packaging!

Some days before, there is a great post about LPC dual-core, LPC key feature_DualCore 

This time, we show a LPC5411x based dual-core example. It shows all aspects about dual-core development, startup, communicate, sync, mutex. Enjoy it:)

After extracted the attachement, it locates at "boards\lpcxpresso54114\multicore_examples\blinky\mdk\blinky.uvmpw"

The year when two titans came together forming what is now the #1 supplier to the broad based MCU market.  To the industry, it was the year of the merger, clouded in uncertainty.

Our global ecosystem - from NXP field engineers to distributors and partners are training up on LPC and now more specifically, the newest LPC546xx family.  

But we also want to make sure the engineers actually using our MCUs in their application receive the same information directly from us ... we will continue to keep you updated & informed.
