Blueboard is a cost effective prototyping and solutions using the versatile LPC214x series of microcontrollers. It is a ready-to-run development platform with code snippets to demonstrate applications for every feature supported on the board. The Blue Board offers ubiquitous interfaces making it the best board available for the offered price.
The LPC2148 microcontroller has 512KB of internal flash and 32+8K RAM, can be clocked up to 60Mhz. LPC2148 features include USB 2.0 device, 2xUARTs, RTC, 2x10bit ADCs each ADC has multiple channels, 1xDAC, 6XPWM, 2xI2C, 1xSPI, 1xssP, 2x32-bit TIMERS, FAST I/0 support and WDT. LPC2148 also supports In System Programming (ISP)
Following are the salient features of the board:
- Dimensions: 127 X 127 mm2
- Two layer PCB (FR-4 material)
- Power:DC 6.5V with power LED On-board linear regulators generate +3.3V/500mA
and +5V/500mA from power supply USB connector (as alternate power source)
- ISP and reset switch
- 12.0000 MHz crystal for MCU,32Khz crystal for RTC
- Extension headers for all microcontroller pins
- RS232 connector (2x), VGA connector, PS2 connector, 20pin - JTAG connector,
SD/MMC card connector, USB type-B connector with link-LED
- All peripheral configurable via jumper
- Audio power amplifier
- 2 line X 16 character LCD
- Backlight control for LCD
- Configurable for manual and automatic program download (ISP) via serial port
- Two layer PCB (FR-4 material)
- 8 controllable LEDs on SPI

What tools to use?
Our products are in general not tied up to one particular tool. All the tools that support LPC2000 ARM7 series of micro controllers can be used, to name a few:
-
KEIL uvision4 IDEa 32K code limited version could be used
-
Rowley Crossworks comes with 30 day evaluation version
-
IAR workbencha 32K code limited version could be used
- And off course GCC based open source tool chains
- For those who wish to program (hex files) usingparallel port programmercould considerH-JTAG
