SPIDER Automation NXP LPCXpresso55S69 Development Board | LPC55S69 Evaluation Kit
Description
SPIDER Automation NXP LPCXpresso55S69 Development Board provides an ideal, highly versatile platform for the evaluation of and development with the LPC55S6x microcontroller family, powered by the advanced Arm® Cortex®-M33 architecture. The board integrates a high-performance on-board Link2 debug probe, a complete audio subsystem, and a 3-axis accelerometer, alongside multiple flexible options for adding off-the-shelf expansion boards for wireless networking, industrial sensors, graphical displays, and other peripheral interfaces.
Fully supported by the comprehensive MCUXpresso software and development suite, the LPCXpresso55S69 gives developers instant access to device drivers, middleware, configuration tools, and sample applications. MCUXpresso is fully compatible with open-source real-time operating systems like FreeRTOS, as well as professional toolchains from Arm and IAR, while the board’s onboard debug probe can also interface with external tools from SEGGER and P&E Micro.
