derivate (except for the one described above). If one, for example, executes code for
ICODE tags and has a MFRC631 Blueboard, this code will have no effect at all. It will
behave as if there was no tag in the field.
2.2 CE certification of the Blueboard
The current version of the Blueboard (v.3.0) is CE (European Conformity) compliant.
2.3 LPCXpresso LPC1769 development board
To work with the provided projects, one will also need an LPCXpresso LPC development
board. Such a board is not included in the Blueboard hardware package.
The LPC1769 development board integrates an NXP ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller
LPC1769 with 512 Kbytes of Flash memory and 64 Kbytes of RAM. It integrates a lot of
hardware parts:
• Serial UART interface,
• SPI controller,
• I

C controller,
• Serial Wire test/debug interface,
• For detailed information, see LPC1769 product site [4]
The LPCXpresso board contains a JTAG/ SWD debugger called the “LPC-Link” and a
target MCU. LPC-Link is equipped with a 10-pin JTAG header and it seamlessly
connects to the target via USB (the USB interface and other debug features are provided
by NXP’s ARM9 based LPC3154 MCU).

2.4 Alternative to the LPCXpresso LPC1769
With the provided code one can use the LPCXpresso LPC1227 (12NC: 935294603598,
Type: OM13008+598) instead of the LPCXpresso LPC1769 without the need of any
adaptation in the code. Compared to the LPCXpresso LPC1769 it has a smaller flash
memory of 128KB instead of 512KB and a Cortex M0 processor. For instructions on how
to change the project settings to work with the LPC1227 see the description in section
7.2
.
2.5 Preparation of the hardware
The first step after unpacking the Blueboard and the LPCXpresso is soldering the
connectors onto the boards in order to join them later. In our example we use a multipoint
connector as one can see on the pictures below.
