= Overview =

The LPC24xx series is built on a 2-AHB bus architecture. Like the LPC23xx series, the LPC24xx features Ethernet, USB FS, and CAN. The LPC24xx further adds a USB Host/OTG, an external bus, and higher I/O count, making this the most powerful series of ARM7-based MCUs in the marketplace. The newest LPC247x microcontrollers further integrate an LCD controller supporting high resolution STN and TFT panels with up to 24-bit true color. 
These microcontrollers support Super-Twisted Nematic (STN) and Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) graphic display panels up to 1024 x 768 pixels, from monochrome up to 24-bit true-color, and with hardware cursor support. This capability is ideal for point-of-sale, industrial, and medical/diagnostic applications. Further, the LCD controller supports Windows CE data formats. 

This BSP has a number of BSP variants:

 *  lpc24xx_ncs_ram
 *  lpc24xx_ncs_rom_ext
 *  lpc24xx_ncs_rom_int
 *  lpc2362
 *  lpc23xx_tli800
 *  lpc24xx_ea

= Board Setup =
= RTEMS Lab Board =

The LPC24xx base board in the RTEMS lab had to be slightly modified to enable remote control of power. As shipped, the board is powered either through an external 9-15V DC jack or through the USB port.  When power is supplied through the USB port, the external jack has no effect.  The 5V DC power present on the MINI-USB-B connector pin 1 powers the USB Serial Bridge chip U8 then flows through zener diode D6 to power the rest of the board. Unsoldering one end of the zener diode prevents the USB voltage from powering the board but still allows it to power the USB Serial Bridge chip, allowing us to remotely control the power to the board.  

 
Use the boot monitor's "printenv" command to display the firmware settings:
