The LPC17xx Cortex M3 microcontroller from NXP is ideally suited to deeply embedded realtime
applications. Typically, applications of this type include a mix of both hard and soft realtime
requirements.
Soft real-time requirements are those that state a time deadline—but breaching the deadline
would not render the system useless. For example, responding to keystrokes too slowly may
make a system seem annoyingly unresponsive without actually making it unusable.
