LPC55S36-EVK Overview
The LPC55S36-EVK board is a powerful and flexible, evaluation and development platform for NXP LPC55S36/LPC5536
microcontrollers (MCUs). It belongs to the LPCXpresso family of boards — boards for NXP LPC MCUs based on Arm
®
Cortex
®
-M cores.
The board is compatible with the Arduino UNO R3 and Mikroe click boards. It can be used with a wide range of development tools,
including NXP MCUXpresso IDE, Keil µVision
®
, and IAR Embedded Workbench. The board is lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
The LPC55S36-EVK Rev. C board uses an onboard debug probe, known as MCU-Link, for debugging the LPC5536 MCU. The
MCU-Link debug probe is based on another MCU, LPC55S69. The LPC5536 MCU is referred to as "target MCU" in this document
for simplicity and for differentiating it from the LPC55S69 MCU.
This document provides detailed information about the LPC55S36-EVK board interfaces, power supplies, clocks, push buttons,
jumpers, and LEDs.
