DK51-LPC Low-Cost Development Kit

The DK51-LPC Low-Cost Development Kit supports application programming for the complete 8K Flash ROM address space of the NXP (founded by Philips) LPC900 devices. The DK51-LPC is a customized version of the Keil PK51 Professional Developers Kit which allows you to generate programs that exceed the 4K address space limit of the LPC900 Development Studio. It includes high-speed floating-point arithmetic libraries for the SMALL memory model.

The following are included with the DK51-LPC:

• The powerful, easy-to-use µVision IDE including editor, project manager, and make facility.
• A 16K code-size limited C51 Compiler (ANSI C compiler) and A51 Macro Assembler.
• A 16K code-size limited µVision Debugger with complete CPU and peripheral simulation.
• Extensive tutorials and documentation.

Limitations

The DK51-LPC Low-Cost Development Kit has the following limitations:

1. The 8051 compiler, assembler, linker, and debugger are limited to 16K of object code. Source code may be any size. Programs generating more than 16K of object code will not compile, assemble, or link.
2. The debugger supports 16K files or smaller.
3. Support is limited to NXP LPC900 devices only.
4. Compiler optimization is limited to a maximum of level 6. Code packing optimizations are not supported.
5. No hardware support is available for multiple DPTR registers.
6. The following PK51 components are not included:
   • ISD51 In-System Debugger,
   • LX51 Extended Linker,
   • Code Banking Support,
   • Library Manager,
   • and RTX-51 Tiny Real-Time Operating System.
7. It is not possible to generate assembler source files or use in-line assembler features.
