The IRD-LPC2468-DEV is available for the price of $435.00 (USD).

The NXP LPC2468 ARM7 microcontroller based industrial reference design (IRD) is optimized to save development time in typical industrial control applications. Its modular format uses a base, core and application boards for added flexibility and a range of configurations. The kit is preconfigured with the IAR EWARM development environment, Micrium μC /OSII operating system, and protocol stacks for Ethernet, USB Host/Device, CAN, and I²C. Using NXP’s cost effective ARM7 microcontrollers as the basis for each platform means that designers can create competitive, highly differentiated products at a lower overall cost. The application board plugs directly into the base board via a common application connector and software configures the system for plug-and-play operation.

LPC2468 Core Board Description:
The core industrial control board includes an NXP ARM7 LPC2468 microcontroller running the Micrium μC OS2 RTOS. The LPC2468 has 512kB of on-chip high speed Flash memory, a 10/100 Ethernet Media Access Controller (MAC), a USB full speed device/host/OTG controller with 4kB of endpoint RAM, four UARTs, two CAN channels and a collection of serial communications interfaces.

Software Included:
The IRD software is built around Micrium μC/OS-II™ Real Time Operating System (RTOS), and software modules for Ethernet, USB Host/Device, CAN, File System, and serial communication. IAR’s Embedded Workbench® for ARM® C/C++ compiler and debugger are used for the software development. The IRD development kit includes a JLINK JTAG debugger and time limited trial version of the IAR development suite. Several Micrium modules are also provided in source code form, while others can be requested from the Micrium website.
