The LPC1788 OEM Board is equipped with NXP's Cortex-M3 based LPC1788 microcontroller suitable for a wide range of applications that requires advanced communication and high quality graphic displays.

Overview

The LPC1788 Developer's Kit is a ready to use platform that will let you explore the many features of the LPC177x/8x microcontroller series in general and the LPC1788 in particular.

Focus on your value-added application by using this Developer's Kit as your prototyping platform. It includes the software components needed to get up-and-running with your software development very quickly.

When you are finished with prototyping and/or evaluation you can easily transfer your application and the OEM Board into production.

Low Cost

The LPC1788 OEM Board is low cost and can be used for prototyping/development as well as for OEM production. Modifications for OEM applications can be done for high volume customers.
