This project allows for a cross platform gcc and makefile based build system for the LPC1517, it uses LPCOpen as the base SDK and adds a layer of abstraction on top of that for a potential multi target project.
The LPC1517 is a (in my opinion) somewhat neglected MCU from NXP that I decided to use in a project a couple of years ago, it has some nice features that I liked, like a hardware QEI for reading encoders and you could flash it over serial port which was nice. I ended up not finishing that project because of lack of options when it came to developing, I should probably have used a more popular chip and started on a development board instead of a bare chip. Anyway, the only way I managed to build the project back then was using the Eclipse based IDE LPCXpresso and LPCOpen, most resources was for the more common LPC1549 but with some modifications I got it working. However I was not happy with having to use the IDE and would prefer to use any editor and pure makefiles for building. Since then NXP has released the MCUXpresso SDK but the LPC1517 does not seem to be supported.

The LPCOpen files located in core/lpc1517/sdk/*.zip will have to be
extracted before building, make will complain if not.
Note: that the pin definitions in core/lpc1517/os/pins.h are
specific to my board and should be modified if another board is
used.
