n-PRO-10 is an mbed-enabled ARM Cortex M3 LPC1769 development board from the n-Blocks family designed for rapid prototyping, in the n-Blocks PRO form factor.

Overview

n-PRO-10 board features NXP's LPC1769 microcontroller and is designed to quickly get started with the ARM Cortex-M3.The board allow engineers to develop their applications from initial prototype to final production. n-PRO-10 development board is compatible with various toolchains used in the industry. The board includes an onboard, CMSIS-DAP compatible debug probe as well as a connector for use with 3rd party debug probes.

Board Pinout

n-PRO-10 is a HOST board with four Hirose DF30-series 60-pin low profile connectors at bottom side, following the n-Blocks PRO form factor.

Getting started

Connect the board to the battery or power supply.
Press the reset button, green LED will indicate that you have power connected.
Select target on mbed online compiler
Create a blinky program like below. Compile and it will get downloaded.

#include "mbed.h"
 
DigitalOut led1(P1_18); 
 
// main() runs in its own thread in the OS
int main() {
    while (true) {
        led1 = !led1;
        wait(0.05);
    }
}

Connect the board to j-link.

Open J-Flash Lite, select the device.

Select the bin file downloaded from mbed compiler.

Click on Program device

Press RESET, and the board will now be running your code.

USB Serial Port

To use the debug serial port out of the LPC1769 to emulate a serial port over USB see example here.
