==Sample Project for LPC1768==

Let’s start with a simple LED blinking program.

Launch the Keil application and follow the steps below :


1.	Go to the ‘Project’ menu from menu bar, select ‘Close Project’ option if there is already an open project.

This option will be available only if there is an open project.

Now select ‘New µVision Project’.

It’s better to create a new project in a new folder always.

4.	A window will pop up asking whether to add ‘Startup file’ to your project .

The ‘Startup file’ is required only when you want to go with C programming. 

So, here we will click ‘Yes’ as we will be coding with C.

5.	In the ‘Project’ tab if you expand  ‘Target 1 -> Source Group 1’ you will see the ‘startup file’.

Click the ‘New’ tool located on toolbar. 

A file with name ‘Text1’ will be created in editor. Write your code here.

Don’t forget to include lpc17xx header file and the function ‘SystemInit()’.

8.	Add the .c file, say, LED_Blink.c 

Also you should add system_LPC17xx.c file to your project.

You can find this file at “C:\Keil\ARM\Startup\NXP\LPC17xx”.

No need to copy this file to your project folder. Simply add the file by above procedure.
