LPC2468 IRD Kit 1.2 Quick Start Guide, rev. 1.0 Page 1 of 81.0 System OverviewThe LPC1768 Industrial Reference Design (IRD) is a platform targeted at RTOS based embeddedsystems. Designed around a flexible “Core” and “Base” Printed Circuit Board (PCB) concept, itfeatures many of the system functions and wired communications protocols found in today’sembedded applications. The flexible design allows for changing of core and base boards, displaysand keypads as needed by the targeted application. The platform is powered from an external5VDC power supply, and provides circuitry to measure current consumption of 3.3VDC whileoperating the platform in different modes. Software development and debug are accomplished withthe use of a JTAG connection and Keil IDE development environment. Hardware circuitry isincorporated to facilitate In-System-Programming (ISP), allowing software updates to be easilyloaded and demonstrated on the platform.The version 1.3 kit features:- NXP-designed (green PCB) LPC1768 core board- NXP-designed base (green PCB) board- A phone-style keypad board- A 20X4 character LCD moduleThe platform provides demonstration software to perform functional test of the microcontrollerfeatures, such as Ethernet, USB Device, UART, I²C, ADC, and GPIO ports. In the future, theplatform will support Micrium μC/OS-II Real Time Operating System (RTOS), and provides softwaresupport for 10/100Base Ethernet, USB Host/Device, CAN, RS-232, and I2C wired communicationprotocols. Additionally, the platform provides flexible interfaces for:- Vacuum Fluorescent Displays (VFD) or Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD)- UART expansion- I2C expansion- Application specific hardware through connection headers on the baseboardQuickStart GuideLPC1768 Industrial Reference Design PlatformSystem Development Kit Version 1.3May 2009
