Hello Folks, The Philips ARM series had been out of my price range but the LPC2101 finally seems to be in reach, meaning under $2 in quantity. Now if one wants to try it out which kit would work? I'd have no problem if it was for another one of the ARM chips as they seem to be quite compatible. The only kit for the lower number parts I found at Digikey was the KS2106 LPC210x Kickstart kit. It is listed to be for the LPC2104 through 2106. Unfortunately there is no data sheet on it and the IAR site doesn't find it. What I'd need for kicking the tires would be the IAR suite or something similar, a small experimental board (which seems to be in that kit) and a USB programmer (no word about that one). Does anyone use this KS2106 kit? Is it the complete deal to get started? Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com
LPC2101 development kit, which one?

A lot more ROM and RAM than 2101, but it has the ADC, and it's always good to have extra headroom when developing. Should be under $100, shipped to you with JTAG adapter.

The LPC2104/5/6 are the oldest LPC2000 chips, and the LPC2101/2/3 are the newest, with quite some differences. http://www.keil.com/mcb2103/ Karl Olsen

Joerg, right now the Keil Board as mentioned is definitely the best choice (the only one on top of that ;-). You can order one here: www.lpctools.com for $99. LPCtools ships usually next day from CA, so you might have a board in 2 days. p.s. you do NOT want to use the LPC2104/5/6 board because those devices do not have an ADC nor a 32 kHz Real-Time Clock nor Counter inputs nor Fast I/Os nor a buffered SPI.... As Karl mentioned, the 2101/2/3 are the newest Philips ARM chips, the 2104/5/6 the oldest. An Schwob

The 2101 also has the ADC but it's not in the data sheet (yet?). The whole section 6.8 where its TOC says the ADC is spec'd was missing from the data sheet on the Philips server. Really strange.

Any version above 2103 is off limits for most of my projects because of prohibitive cost. I'll check that out. Keil has no pricing on their web site so one has to go through the stone age quoting rigamaroo. A bit strange, oh well. Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com

That often puts a crimp into things. Anyway, what do you think about ARM? I was never interested because of the high prices until someone on the MSP430 forum pointed out the new Philips devices that can be had for around $2. If that kind of pricing sticks maybe this could become the next 8051 generation. Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com
