Migrating from 8-/16-bit to NXP 32-bit Cortex-M0

NXP is changing how engineers think about 32-bit design, with LPC1100 Cortex-M0 solutions that let you save power, reduce cost, shrink your design, and get to market fast.

NXP's Cortex-M0 solutions provides easy migration to NXP's other ARM architectures, so every Cortex-M0 design can become your gateway to more ARM performance.

Let us introduce you to LPC1100, our new 32-bit Cortex-M0 robot which is taking over the 8- and 16-bit world with its super cool features of 32-bit performance, superior code density, and low power consumption.

Become part of the "Break the 8-/16-Bit Habit" movement and submit your entry for a fun comic strip featuring the Cortex-M0 LPC1100 and the 8-Bit robots, and the best story entry will win a Sony PlayStation 3!

In each panel, describe what's happening and what the robots say. An example is given below.

Looking to migrate from your current 8-/16-bit solution to a 32-bit Cortex-M0? The videos below will discuss the advantages of switching from 8-/16-bit to a NXP Cortex-M0 solution, as well as the steps designers need to take to make the switch, including specific examples showing the benefits of doing so through reduced costs, lower power, enhanced performance, and faster time-to-market.

LPC1100 is changing the way embedded engineers are working with their 8- and 16-bit designs. NXP, through its innovative marketing campaign "Cortex-M0- A simple choice", challenged engineers to break their 8-/16-bit habit and move to 32-bit LPC1100. NXP received an overwhelming response to this challenge and posted the most creative, funny, and unique video and photo entries on the Cortex-M0 campaign site for everyone to see.

Visit the new LPC1100 Design Center and view the different 8-/16-bit applications that can be built around NXP LPC1100 and the LPCXpresso board. This design center hosts design abstracts and/or full designs from the LPC1100 contest that was hosted in 2010 based around the theme "What can you do for 65 cents?", which is the starting price point for LPC1100.

LPCXpresso is a low-cost development platform supporting the entire LPC1100 series of products. The LPCXpresso tool is an end-to-end solution enabling engineers to develop their applications from initial evaluation to final production. The platform is comprised of a simplified Eclipse-based IDE and low-cost target boards, including an attached JTAG debug probe, and retails at all major distributors for $29.95.
