The mbed NXP LPC1768 board lets you create prototypes without having to work with low-level microcontroller details, so you can experiment and iterate faster than ever.
Designers compose and compile embedded software using a browser-based IDE, then download it quickly and easily, using a simple drag-and-drop function, to the board’s NXP Cortex-M3 microcontroller LPC1768.
Engineers new to embedded applications can use the board to prototype real products incorporating microcontrollers, while experienced engineers can use it to be more productive in early stages of development. The mbed tools are designed to let you try out new ideas quickly, in much the same way that an architect uses a pencil and paper to sketch out concepts before turning to an advanced CAD program to implement a design.
