Wow, I stand corrected. The standardics.nxp.com site shows it as
planned instead of sampling.

I must not be on their favorite customer list.

Hmm, so that Nohau LPC-3000 board sitting on my co-worker's desk running 
his code must be a figment of my imagination, and the 138 pieces Digi-
Key shows in stock must have been something I ate...

digikey seems to have them

Wow you must be late on a project. Development always takes its due
time.

A development board for the LPC3180 cannot be trustworthy or tested.
Since the LPC3180 has never been manufactured and there arent any
samples available. I'm impatient for those too, I'll bet philips will
just be distributing their first batch as samples.

Start developing with the LPC2880 chips since they should be similar
enough (except for ARM7 instead of ARM9). I'm waiting for the Olimex
boards which should be next month. Also waiting for their L2290-8M
boards.

Even when they're out, you cant have them immediately.

Anyody knows where I can buy an LPC3180 development board? I also need
embedded linux for it with USB host and HID support, also I need the
GNU C++ compiler for it that supports the co-processor built into the
LPC3180.

I been looking for weeks cant find none of those.I'm desperate, and
need it immediately!

please reply to nsmith@islandlogix.com

Thanks

OK heres an update.

A 2MHz and a 1.8432MHz rectangular crystal both worked, but a
cylindrical 32.76kHz crystal failed. With the 2MHz and PLL divider at
16 it will run at 125kHz.

I think I'll go xtal shopping till I find the slowest and lowest power
at which it'll work, then I'll do it with the lpc 2888 or lpc3180
(whichever is at 1.8V) for the lowest power.

The datasheet has power consumption numbers down to 0 Hz (on the
graph), maybe there is another clock divide down somewhere like on the
Atmel ARM's.

Well, I'm aiming for a really low power system, and will start testing
underclocking the lpc2138 first. The pll divider only takes me to about
1MHz or a little less... but if the 2MHz crystal test worked so should
possibly a 32KHz. In the longer run I have the lpc2888 in mind, but
thats a bigger testing rig at 1.8V plus the low power sram and flash.
That thing has a 10MHz limit too and its timing with sram and flash
will be tricky. Gotta make it work.

Gotta be the first one to make a solar powered linux computer that you
can put in your pocket!

Currently I need a square foot of panel in a bright indoor room as a
minimum. Aint got pockets that big.

As I recall, on the other members, the UARTs worked fine (not
surprising) but ISP expected 10MHz or better.  The big issue was the
PLL which required a minimum of 10MHz input.

Maybe the ADC has some timing limitations (Maybe hold time on the S/H?)
but I would have thought the DAC to be all right.

I dont know but I intend to play with much lower frequencies. Maybe its
for the DAC and UARTs, I wont need em. Maybe ISP wont work. But last I
tried a blinky prog 2MHz worked great. Crystal I mean.
