What is it (mbed LPC176x) ?

mbed LPC1768 is a small evaluation board based NXP LPC1768 Microcontroller.  LPC1768 (LPC1768/66/65/64) is ARM Cortex-M3 based microcontrollers for embedded applications. What surprised me when I first look at the chipset architecture and diagram is that the single chipset provide so many different / diverse IO ports and so many different types of communication capability (I2C, ISP, CAN and even Ethernet).

How does it look like ?
