I normally use the Keil ones – but have used some Olimex, both are fine. I buy my Keil boards from Farnell, as they are much cheaper than through many of the embedded vendors, althpouigh they don't offer whole range. Keil have lots of example programs for their boards which you can downlaod from their website. An evaluation version of their compiler is free to, and will give you plenty of scope to learn, using a first rate tool chain. The simulator of the chips is a really help when trying to work out why a peripheral is not working as intended. Bocote

It also depends where you are located. You can get Olimex Boards from Sparkfun in the US at a better price and less shipping but if you are not in the US, Olimex might be the lowest cost. Other boards particularly for LPCs can be found at http://www.lpctools.com and another overview of tools for the LPC2000 and other ARM micros at http://www.lpc2000.com/tools Cheers An Schwob

I have also purchased the Code Red development tool with the JTAG probe to support it. It is the cheapest way to get a good tool set that I found so far. Let me know how yours works out. I am anticipating my delivery to occur today. It is an International shipment but haas not taken too long using PAY PAL to translate into EUROs was helpful. regards achadya --------------------------------------- Posted through http://www.EmbeddedRelated.com

As well as the features, quality and good value of the boards, their documentation and example code is of a high standard. Our most recent order was placed on Monday and the boards arrived on Friday - not a bad time from Sweden to Australia! I don't know what their technical support is like because we have had no need to use it :-) Regards, Chris Burrows CFB Software Astrobe: LPC2000 Oberon-07 Development System http://www.astrobe.com

Well I used to buy my boards from http://www.arm9board.net. It's an ARM-commited company and they do have some nice board ranged from ARM7 TO ARM11. Their boards are particularly nice for beginners, as they always delivers demo BSP source code including cute application examples for Linux, WinCE, Android, and detailed documentations that guides to build your own. Recently they release their OK6410 on promotion, $139 for a ARM11 kit and a 4.3" LCD, that's truely impressive. check it out http://www.arm9board.net/sel/prddetail.aspx?id=348&pid=200 --------------------------------------- Posted through http://www.EmbeddedRelated.com
