Keil MCB2387 and MCB2388 Evaluation Boards

Plano, TX: Keil extends its support for ARM7™ family-based devices from NXP Semiconductor (formerly Philips Semiconductors) with the introduction of the MCB2387 and MCB2388 Evaluation Boards.

MCB2388 Evaluation Board

The MCB2387 and MCB2388 Evaluation Boards are new variants of the MCB2300 Evaluation Board, which supports the LPC2300 family of ARM^® microcontrollers.

Featuring an LPC2387 or LPC2388 microcontroller, the MCB2387 and MCB2388 include a character LCD display plus a wide range of interfaces such as USB, CAN, Ethernet, SD/MMC cards, and UARTs.

Features

• LPC2387 or LPC2388 ARM7TDMI^® processor-based MCU
• On-Chip Memory: 512KB Flash and 98KB RAM
• 2-line by 16-character, 8-bit LCD display
• 10/100 Ethernet Port
• USB 2.0 Full Speed Interface supporting USB Device (MCB2387 and MCB2388) and USB OTG/Host (MCB2388 only)
• Two Serial Ports and two CAN Interfaces
• SD/MMC Card Interface
• Potentiometers for analog voltage input
• Amplifier and Speaker
• JTAG interface

Software and Examples

The MCB2387 and MCB2388 include an evaluation version of the RealView^® Microcontroller Development Kit (MDK) featuring numerous ready-to-run example projects.

The RealView Real-Time Library includes CAN, Flash, TCPnet and USB device examples that run on MCB2387 and MCB2388. Additional RealView Real-Time Library projects are also available to download:

• RL-ARM HTTP Demo
• RL-ARM SD/MMC File Demo

Keil partners such as OnChip Technologies and Thesycon provide USB Host/OTG software for the MCB2388.

A trial version of the OnChip USB host stack that runs on the MCB2388 can be downloaded from www.keil.com/download/docs/375.asp.

A free demo of the Thesycon USB host stack for the MCB2388 will be soon available for download from www.thesycon.de/eng/embusbhost.shtml
