Hi

I have used LPC17xx and LPC8xx and LPC11Uxx which includes CMSIS.

I now notice there is no CMSIS for LPX15xx and that left me tad concern. (within C:\nxp\LPCXpresso_7.8.0_426\lpcxpresso\Examples\CMSIS_CORE)

I looked into NXP website but could not understand meaning of "superset of LPCOpen". What happen and why it decided to move on to make CMSIS invisible.

I do not wish to use board library since that applies to eval board, but can use chip library and make my own custom app and board . Am I corrects to assumed the CMSIS are build in chip library?

Thank in advance for quick reply.

R.

We no longer provide standalone CMSIS library projects for newer MCUs (basically those released in the last 2 years or so). The functionality of the old CMSIS library projects (which basically means the Cortex-M core and MCU peripheral header files) has basically been merged into our LPCOpen product, which also adds in peripheral drivers.

When using LPCXpresso IDE to produce an LPCOpen-based project, you can either select LPCOpen chip and board libraries to link against, or just the appropriate chip library. Please read the LPCXpresso User Guide (and watch the video at  http://www.lpcware.com/lpcxpresso) for more details
