ARM7 development environment for uClinux

Started by abdul May 5, 2006
Hi All,

I would like to start a small project to woork on uClinux. I am searching
for a board of ARM7 core and the full development environment.
So please suggest me which board i have to purchase, JTAG emulator and
development environment with debugger. As i am doing it on my own, i want
to have all these things at the lowest cost possible. Even i m ready to
rig up the circuits if the schematics available for JTAG connectors.
Please help me out in bringing up the ARM7 development environment.

Thanks in advance,
Abdul.

the cheapest ARM7 box that can run uclinux is juicebox

http://www.elinux.org/wiki/JuiceBox

the units can be purchase for around 10USD
JTAG connected needs to be hand fitted, or optionally it
is possible to make your own nand-flash cartridge to load the OS

I have not a running linux on my juicebox, but I know it has been done
I have tested the jtag stuff, wrote some test programs that all works
nicely on juicebox.

sure 2MB RAM isnt much, but well for 10USD you get color display,
ARM7 RAM, audio a few buttons and extension slot to my knowledge
there isnt anything nearly as 'featured' for this price :)

Which software is useful for the reprogramming and debugging the
programs...will ADS with wriggler JTAG do?

pretty much any arm-jtag softwre with suitable cable would do,
I used armtools with Xilinx Cable III

for making the own nand flash cartridge there is sufficent info on the
elinux site
read the xd card related info pages. I have done it sd described there
and I
was succesfull to start my own LCD test demo from nand card I had self
made

but where can i find the juicebox in 10USD? the minimum price i found
was 47USD.
