Today I looked into the led_blinky provided by NXP. The blinky program provided is about 6 files and 8 headers swinging between vestigial and 2000 lines. I am more used to the PIC which can do a blinky in about 5 lines of code, not 5000 lines of various configuration and strange framework. I am going to RTFM before I shoot myself in the foot again. I could just edit the existing example code to get something working, but I need to understand this more if I want to use this processor. I am either going to learn how to build my own tools or learn how to use the NXP framework for the LPC804.

The coworker that turned me onto this processor, ran into some issues with writing his own blinky. His problem has made me very cautious in regards to what NXP is hiding in its examples.
