I think the board they you may want to get is the Embedded Artists
Educational Board.
See "http://world-educational-services.biz/view_item.php?id=55&"
It's a good deal at $105.
I bought one recently. I wish that there was a board that used a USB
interface for programming, rather than serial, but it's not such a big deal.
The ARM instructions set is fixed, it's what's bundled around the core
that changes.

In the Philips (LPC2xxx) family, you need to decide
1) how much memory you need
2) what peripherals you need.
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:
http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/products/microcontrollers/32bit/in
dex.html
..you will see how the LPC2xxx parts compare.
After you select a part, find a reasonably priced development board that
has it.

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 addition to the others already listed, there's the MicroBolt (with a
Philips LPC2106) and the dev board from Micromint:
http://www.micromint.com/promo/index.htm#bolt
AFAIK, the sale price for the Microbolt module + dev board is still on.
Info at http://www.micromint.com/datasheets/MicroBolt.pdf
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.

Try
Maplin
RS
Farnel
Arrow
Hero
BTW an LCD is not "basic" but if you want and LCd go for a Sharp 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.

Hi fellows,
I need to learn the ARM MCPU (any core that can help), so I am looking
to buy a development board with ARM MCPU with at least the basic stuffs
(LEDs, SW, LCD ect...) do you know where i can buy one?
Thanks to any one how at least toke time to read this posting
Thomas.
