LPC-Stick

Discover the performance of the LPC2468 ARM7TDMI core with the LPC-Stick! TheLPC-Stick is a small modular evaluation kit with optional extension boards.The LPC-Stick package provides target hardware with the LPC2468 microcontroller from NXP, external SRAM, user pins and LEDs for applications use. Combined with the proven USB debugger device connection and the non-limited HiTOP development tools the LPC-Stick allows full access to all chip features, debugging and programming.

To provide access to the most external capabilities of the LPC2468 chip theStick allows to connect diverse extension boards over an 80 pin extension connector.The toolset does not require any power supply or cables – just installthe tools and run the demo application! Make your first steps with the demo application and the graphical user interface: Debugging and user communication via USB at the same time!

What is included?

The LPC-Stick package contains

• LPC-Stick hardware with LPC2468 microcontroller (ARM7TDMI-S CPU core),Ethernet, USB/OTG, CAN, Extension connector, User LEDs, user IO…
• Stick demo application with GUI control software
• HiTOP5 IDE and debugger
• GNU C/C++ compiler
• Tasking VX-Toolset (limited evaluation version)
• USB interface for debugging, programming and virtual COM port for user application
• CD containing tool chain and useful information and data sheets

Accessories

To fit future requirements Hitex decided to give the user the best possibleaccess to the LPC2468 features. Providing a high number of pins the designersimplemented the LPC extension connector
The extension connector allows the connection to accessory extension boards.Available accessory kits are:

• COM board extension provides a set of communication features and pinouts (Ethernet and Phy, USB Host and Device, UART, SDCard, CAN phy, external power
• PatchBoard Extension free access to all pins of the extension connector

Future extensions are planned.
The extension board gives you access to peripherals like Ethernet, USB, SDCard,UART, CAN,… .
With the LPCStickView control software included in this package the featuresof the LPC-Stick and the features of the Extension Boards can be controlled.E.g. Web server application, USB device, USB host and CAN functions are readyto use from the demo application.Optional external power can be obtained tobuild standalone running applications.
