   1 # LPC1343 Code Base
   2
   3 This software library is based on the freely available LPC1343 Reference
   4 Design available at http://www.microBuilder.eu.  Unless otherwise stated,
   5 all files are licensed under the BSD license (see license.txt for details).

  13 ## Development Status
  14
  15 While there are almost certainly bugs and chunks of decidedly
  16 mediocre code in the library, after two years or so of fairly
  17 steady development effort, the core code should be fairly
  18 reliable.  Some drivers in the /drivers folder are incomplete,
  19 and may have been abandoned once the basic features were working
  20 (setting pixels on a display, etc.), but they should serve as
  21 a good starting point for a wide variety of peripherals.

  23 ## How Can Someone Support This Project
  24
  25 A lot of the recent development in this library was done
  26 thanks to the financial support of Adafruit Industries (paying
  27 me a salary to keep providing this stuff).  If you find this library
  28 useful, please consider ordering something from the people that
  29 make this financially possible:  http://www.adafruit.com

  31 ## Toolchains
  32
  33 The entire LPC1343 Code Base is based around GCC, and can be built
  34 from the command-line using only free tools like the Yagarto
  35 distribution for Windows or the Mac, etc.
  36
  37 Nonetheless, it's often more productive to develop in an IDE with a
  38 full set of debugging tools at your disposal, and the code base also
  39 includes project files for Rowley Associate's Crossworks for ARM, as
  40 well as project files for the free and open source CodeLite, which can
  41 be used in combination with a Segger J-Link for ARM and GDB Server.
  42
  43 Project files for the two IDEs are stored in the /build folder, and
  44 project files for the free LPCXpresso IDE are stored in root (see
  45 http://www.microbuilder.eu/Projects/LPC1343ReferenceDesign/DebuggingWithLPCXpresso.aspx
  46 for more information on using LPCXpresso).

  48 ## Documentation
  49
  50 Online documentation is available at the following URLs, though the
  51 current documentation reflects and earlier version of the library, and some
  52 inconsistencies are present since parts of the library have been
  53 reorganized working towards a 1.0.0 release.  The graphics library in
  54 particular has been reorganized quite a bit.
