Optimised development tools for MCU range

The LPC5411x MCU family is an ARM Cortex-M4-based expansion of NXP’s LPC MCU portfolio. The product family provides a good balance between power efficiency and feature integration for applications that require low power, always-on processing. Target applications include gaming, USB accessories, healthcare devices, patient monitoring, Internet of Things (IoT), as well as building automation.

Thanks to speed optimisations, IAR Embedded Workbench and the included IAR C/C++ Compiler generates fast performing code. With the short execution times, it is well suited for development of low power applications. To enable extensive debugging and profiling possibilities, the toolchain includes features such as complex code and data breakpoints, run-time stack analysis, call stack visualisation, code coverage analysis and integrated monitoring of power consumption. Through add-on tools for static analysis and run-time analysis, developers can gain complete code control.

“The combination of the highly optimising IAR Embedded Workbench and our low power LPC5411x MCU family gives customers new possibilities in developing power efficient innovations within many industries, especially for consumer, medical and industrial applications,” said Brendon Slade, Director of Ecosystem and Tools of the LPC product line, NXP Semiconductors. “We are pleased that IAR Systems’ powerful development tools offer early support for our new series of MCUs, in addition to the already broad NXP MCUs coverage in the tools.”
