small electronic dice with ARM Cortex

Post by Harty123 »

last weekend I developed an small electronic dice based on a LPC1114/FN28 (ARM Cortex M0)...



You will find the source code and schematic at my website

So the chips are finally out. Awesome to see a Cortex chip in DIP format! It's a shame though it doesn't have more flash & RAM... :(

Which toolchain did you use? Is it still a pain to make something on the Cortex with open/free tooling?

Whats a pity!

For this project I used LPCXpresso IDE (code red compiler) and the LPC-Link as debugger. Usually I use for ARM projects Coocox www.coocox.org - this is a free toolchain with the GNU compiler - independent from the manufacturer of the ARM Cortex. Unfortunately Coocox doesn't support the LPC1114/FN28 ... that was the reason to use LPCXpresso, but this is a pain!!!
