ESC Silicon Valley 2012 (a DESIGN West Summit)

The following demonstrations were showcased at the show:

• Angry Birds slingshot with LPC11U24 mbed (Cortex-M0)
• Cortex-M3 RC Car demo at ESC 2012
• LPC4300 7.1 Surround Sound Demo - Dual-core Cortex-M4/M0 at ESC 2012
• Cortex-M3 Digital Guitar
• Cortex-M3 LPC1769 USB based Andriod Open Accessory Demo

• You can skip or repeat a picture by using the Previous and Next buttons ( ).

At the show, we hosted several sponsored sessions covering the topics below. In case you missed the sessions, you can watch the videos below:

• Getting Started with FreeRTOS on NXP's LPC1769 Microcontroller
• GUI Development Made Easy with NXP's Free MCU Graphics Library
• Making USB Easy with On-Chip ROM Drivers and "nxpUSBlib"
• Easy Dual-Core Development and Debugging with Cortex-M4/M0

In this class, attendees got a chance to learn how to use, as well as, the benefits of using a real-time multitasking environment. FreeRTOS was used with the free LPCXpresso environment to demonstrate both basic LED flashing examples and more comprehensive examples that included networking, a file system, and a command line input.

In this video, you can learn how easy it is to add a high-quality GUI on any NXP ARM microcontroller using our free emWin software graphics library. We will walk you through the process of using the free Segger emWin software with our Cortex-M3 LPC1788 microcontroller with built-in LCD controller.

The LPC11U2x series — the first microcontroller based on the ARM^® Cortex-M0 processor to offer integrated USB class drivers — maximizes flash memory utilization, saving up to 16KB of code space, while providing fully-tested and easy-to-use APIs to enable USB integration in a matter of minutes. This class presents how nxpUSBlib — NXP's fully-featured, royalty-free, open-source driver stack — and the extensible on-chip USB drivers for HID, MSC, and CDC on the LPC11U00 work seamlessly together making plug-and-play a reality for embedded systems.

Taking advantage of the first dual-core Cortex-M microcontroller is easier than you realize. The purpose of this tutor-led session is to introduce you to the NXP Cortex-M4 processor family using the ARM Keil^® MDK toolkit, featuring the IDE μVision^®. We demonstrate the Serial Wire Viewer (SWV) and ETM trace in detail so you will be able to confidently work with NXP processors and the Keil MDK at the end of this tutorial.
