ARM dev board

An LCD doesn't usually qualify as "basic stuff"...

If you're looking for a low-cost EVB and it's really the ARM /core/ you want to learn, look at Olimex's range of products. You can easily attach a character LCD to one of these.

BTW an LCD is not "basic" but if you want and LCd go for a Sharp board.

Lot of different arm chips out there.

As someone else mentioned the olimex boards using Philips lpc21xx arm7 chips are quite cheap.

Easiest way to buy the olimex boards to buy is from

The lpc2138 terminal boards are pretty good (used a few myself)

For a tutorial look for Jim Lynch's eclipse and arm gcc tutorial

In addition to the others already listed, there's the MicroBolt (with a Philips LPC2106) and the dev board from Micromint:

There are headers (a 2x7 and a 1x14) for conventional character LCD displays, the usual switches and LEDs, an SPI ADC, a couple of serial level shifters (232 and 232/485), and prototyping area.

Hi all,

Thank every body. I still have one question for you: as I browsed all these sites that you've suggested I got lost. These is many cores (MCU's: LPC2000 to LPC2294) for the ARM, which one should I consider?. Like I have mensionned before I am new to ARM MCU and would like to lear this technology and get use to it : architecture & programming.

Thank you so much again.

Thomas.

In the Philips (LPC2xxx) family, you need to decide

The LPC21xx all operate from internal flash and RAM. There is no external memory bus; practically all of the pins are provided as I/O and/or peripheral connections (counter/timers, UARTs, SPI, I2C, CAN, etc.)

The LPC22xx parts have the External Bus Interface (EBI) which allows them to access external memory (either flash or RAM) in 8-, 16-, or 32- bit widths). All but the smallest LPC22xx also have internal flash.

Both the 21xx and 22xx are ARM7 cores. Philips also recently announced the LPC3180, an ARM9 core:

If you look at the LPC product selector at:

..you will see how the LPC2xxx parts compare.

After you select a part, find a reasonably priced development board that has it.
