mcb2470-NXP2478

Hi everybody,

 

in few days a new MCB2470 board with the NXP2478 uC is going to be delivered to me. 

 

Can I use as target device the default MCB2400 (the MCB2400 is for 2468 uC) or do I have to create a new target ?

In the last case wich drivers are compatible with my target and can be used without editing?

 

Thanks

Dear gaic82,

 

 

MCB2470 are fully supported under LV Embedded for ARM so if you won't able to find MCB2470 target you can use the generic MCB2470.

MCB2460 and MCB2470 look pretty different to me. There are also some differences in their schematics because the LPC2478 microcontroller has more functionality (e.g. LCD controller).

 

Basically the MCB2400 can be used as a start point, but you might need to make some modifications in drivers each time you start a new applications.

Other benefits of building a new "Other" target includes: properly written C drivers for the particular target, additional peripherals, more EIO (such as LEDs or Joystick Switch).

Unfortunately, you have to write some C. However there will be little modifications if you start from Generic\LPC2468 or MCB2400 target.

LabVIEW supports almost all of the Tier1 boards features, and MCB2470 is not a Tier1 nor exists in the generic folder.
