LPCOpen Libraries and Examples

Core driver library

The core driver library contains common chip-specific drivers. It is divided into two layers: a chip driver layer containing drivers optimized for a specific device or family, and a board layer containing board-specific functions and low-level setup code.

Using LPCOpen with an RTOS

LPCOpen libraries are RTOS agnostic and can be used with a simple control loop. Examples are also included in each software download package for use with FreeRTOS.

Middleware

LPCOpen includes access to key middleware elements:

• SEGGER emWin graphics object library
• SWIM graphics library
• LWIP open-source networking stack - source code and examples
• USB libraries: USBD device library for all LPC devices and LPCUSBLib open-source USB host stack - both use the USB ROM APIs or a Flash-based library

Examples

LPCOpen includes an extensive set of examples designed to illustrate how to use core driver library functions and middleware. Examples demonstrate use of:

• Peripherals such as I²C, UART, SPI, and GPIO
• USB host and device
• Ethernet use with an IP stack (LWIP)
• emWIN and SWIM graphics libraries
