Keil MCB2919 Evaluation Board for NXP LPC29xx Devices

Plano, TX: Keil is pleased to extend its support for ARM9™ processor-based devices from NXP Semiconductor (formerly Philips Semiconductors) with the introduction of the MCB2919™ Evaluation Board.

MCB2919 Evaluation Board

Featuring the new LPC2919 microcontroller, the MCB2900 offers 768KB Flash ROM, 48KB SRAM and up to 1MB external RAM. It includes two CAN2.0B controllers, two LIN2.0 master controllers, UARTs, three full-duplex Q-SPI interfaces with four slave-select lines, a 32-bit external memory controller, configurable Power Management Unit (PMU), PWM, and up to 108 GPIO.

The MCB2919 board features:

• LPC2919 ARM968E-S™ processor-based MCU
• Configurable External RAM - 1MB / 512KB
• Dual CAN Interface
• LIN interface
• Serial Port
• JTAG interface
• 16x2 LCD panel + 8 LEDs
• Potentiometer for analog voltage input

The MCB2919 includes an evaluation version of the RealView^® MDK-ARM Microcontroller Development Kit which features the ARM^® RealView compilation tools and the Keil™ µVision^® IDE, debugger, and simulator. The MDK-ARM includes numerous example projects for ARM9 family programming and many example projects that are ready-to-run on the MCB2919. Example projects that work with the RealView Real-Time Library are also included.

The MCB2919 is available as a starter kit which includes the ULINK-ME USB-JTAG adapter.
