Hi, I am trying to settle on some good ARM based development board for hobby use. I have looked at some LPC and STR boards but couldn't decide. I would prefer one based on ARM9 family, Do any of them come with a debugger at no extra cost? I am willing to shell out up to $200 for the right one with a good amount of software thrown in. Please help me with your suggestions and any alternatives to above is also welcome.
Thanks, Neo
Its a finger in the wind - you don't say what you want to do with it or what peripherals you require.
If you want low cost with built in debug capability then you could try a Cortex-M3 dev kit with Eclipse:

Hello
The range of hardware tools is very wide.. It depends of your needs.
On Ebay, your can find dev. boards starting at 30 USD: "item" nr
110219947581 (lpc2103) for exampleFor free (and unlimited) developping/debugging tools, use Eclipse/GCC/ OpenOCD
A low (very) cost USB- JTAG device can be found here :
th.
at
e.html- even the USB cable comes
Yeah, I am sorry for not stating my needs. Its more like playing with the board and programming peripherals and maybe do some audio churning.
Hi,
some more boards are also listed on the
An Schwob
The LPC2000 series are quite buggy. Rather go for something from Atmel or ST.

The STM32-PRIMER is available for US$50. This looks like quite fun thing to play with.
It comes with the free version of the Resainonce RIDE IDE with arm-elf-gcc integrated.

You can get an ARM926 board based on the AT91SAM9260 which is an ARM9 running at ~200 MHz from
The AVR32 Gateway (ATNGW100) is maybe an alternative. Not ARM9 based, but the price is pretty hard to beat. Sells for $89 at Digikey
As long as the board is booting, you can reprogram the complete flash part from the U-Boot bootmonitor. You *will* need a JTAG-ICE Mk II to reprogram the boot part of the flash after a flash failure.
If you do not have a JTAG-ICE Mk II, it will probably be easy to borrow one to fix the problem. There are plenty around.
Both AT91SAM9260 and the AVR32 will run a full Linux operating system.
The AVR32 Linux port is supported by Atmel, and there is free gcc + an Eclipse based environment (AVR32 Studio) You can download the linux board support package from

might i suggest our Hammer Module:
its a Samsung S3C2410 200mhz ARM920T system in a 40 pin dip package. i ships with opensource bootloader, linux 2.6 kernel, and uclibc based roo filsystem. it includes all sourcecode as well as schematics. it als includes all the tools to build a complete tool chain. as a kit you ca also get the Flyswatter JTAG debugger board that comes with the opensourc debugging software OpenOCD. you are welcome to post questions on our foru or discuss the Hammer on irc.freenode.net #edev channel.
we are looking to build a community around the Hammer module and willin to donate free hardware for cool/interesting projects as well a documentation on the wiki pages.
