Goodnight to everybody, can someone help me about how to get the free arm-gcc compiler compiling code for the LPCXpresso1768 board.
Thanks in advance.

The [SIZE=4][B]compiler[/B][/SIZE] ([COLOR=#000000]Enter your favorite in this line_____________[/COLOR]) has no limit.

The [SIZE=4][B]debugger[/B][/SIZE] ([COLOR=#000000]Combination of hardware and software[/COLOR]) has the 128k limit.

If the communication protocol of the LPC-Link was free and open there is no such limit. So it is not free nor open. :D

Oh! [COLOR=#000000]You can also purchase a license to remove the limit or use another product.[/COLOR]

And it keeps doing the upload to the board even if the code exceeds the 128Kb limit?
Thanks for the response.

The *compiler* has no limit.
The *debugger* has the 128k limit.

The LPCXpresso IDE is free and uses gcc. Read the Getting started to see how to use it:
