Blink LED using Cortex M4 Development Board

This blog post explains how to blink led using cortex m4 development board. you can find out the specification of the cortex m4 development board here.

• The LPC4088 ARM Cortex-M family is optimized for cost and power sensitive MCU and mixed signal devices for applications such as Internet of things, connectivity, Motor control, smart metering, Human interface devices, and medical instrumentation.

• The ARM Cortex-M4 is versatile and easily programmable.

• It integrates on board Two UARTs, LEDs, LCD, SLIDE SWITCHES, ADC, DAC, KEYPAD and etc.
