Embedded Artists LPC1788 MCU Development Board & Kit

Embedded Artists LPC1788 MCU Development Board & Kit are based on the high-performance ARM Cortex-M3 LPC1788 microcontroller from NXP. The Developer's Kit, which includes the LPC1788 OEM Board and the OEM Base Board hardware design, lets the user get up-and-running quickly with the LPC1788 MCU. The LPC1788 OEM Board, also available separately, is equipped with the Cortex-M3 based LPC1788 microcontroller, suitable for a wide range of applications that require advanced communication and high-quality graphic displays. The small form factor OEM board offers many unique features that ease the user's learning curve and program development. The board can be used in OEM applications, as well as for education purposes, experiments, and prototype projects. The OEM Board is also perfect for running uClinux with its large onboard RAM and Flash, and network and graphics capabilities.
