NXP's mbed LPC1768 development board features memory protection unit

Image of NXP Semiconductor's mbed LPC1768 Development BoardThe mbed NXP LPC1768 board allows for the creation of prototypes without having to work with low-level microcontroller details. Therefore, a designer can experiment and iterate faster than ever. Using a browser-based IDE, software can be composed and compiled, then downloaded quickly and easily to the board’s NXP Cortex-M3 microcontroller LPC1768 using a simple drag-and-drop function.

Engineers new to embedded applications can use the board to prototype real products incorporating microcontrollers, while experienced engineers can use it to be more productive in early stages of development. The mbed tools are designed so that new ideas can be tested quickly.
