Baremetal programming of the LPC1114 from NXP
Introduction
The LPC1114/FN28 processor is a DIP28 (breadboard friendly) ARM Cortex M0 microcontroller.
It can be programmed using a hardware debug tool that supports Serial Wire Debug.
It can also be programmed using a simple USB to serial converter. This method is called In-System-Programming (ISP).
It does not allow you debug however it is useful nevertheless. It is certainly very low cost. Using this approach
it is possible to set up an ARM Cortex development system for less than 10Euro.

The header file
Using the user manual (UM10398.pdf) from NXP I wrote a header file that can be used in C programs. The naming
convention I have followed is the same as that used in the user manual which makes finding register descriptions
a little easier. The header file also defines macros for enabling and disabling interrupts as well as symbols
such as BIT0, BIT1, etc to simplify bit manipulation in registers. The file is lpc111x.h
