After connecting external keypad and display to ARM7 MCB2140,is there any software application to be loaded or executed to make it operate???
A microcontroller won't do anything at all without some code to run!
Thanks for valuable info, and where shall I get the Pin details for connecting keypad and pin details of the prototyping area in the ARM7 Board.
Pin info for the processor from the datasheet for the processor.
Info about the board from the manfucaturer of the board.
How to connect a keypad etc - your own knowledge plus the documentation for the keypad.

Are you guys all doing the same assignment?
while interfacing the 4x4 keypad and 16x2 lcd with mcb2140(keil board with lpc2148) do we need any external components like resistors,transistors and capacitors.
Yes Mr.Andy Neil, we are in project with ARM7 Board. we have to interface ext keypad and display to it.
Again, look at the Datasheet for the processor, the schematics for the board, and the datasheets for the peripherals (keypad, LCD) - those documents tell you all you need to know!
So, rather than all posting the same question individually, wouldn't it be more sensible to get together and think about it together?

Have you read the datasheet for the processor, in regards to the possibility of using built-in pull-up or pull-down in the processor? Note that internal pull-up/pull-down is normally quite weak and is good to hold PCB-internal signals at a known state while the processor boots, but signals for a keyboard or anything that leaves the PCB should be driven a bit harder, to give better electrical protection from ESD or external interference.
