While I agree that Olimex might have made it a little bit easier for
you to learn that a "missing" header file is provided by IAR, I would
not stoop to calling it a "Bad experience". Also, you are allowed to
do a little research on what you get before you buy. Therefore I
consider your message to possibly be the silliest one i have read on
this mailing list to date.

An Engineer's Guide to the LPC2100 Series

Right! Hardware wise, they provide excellent value for money. Being an
effective embedded developer, we need to find ways to solve around
software problems. I'm planning to buy another board from Olimex :)

While I agree that Olimex might have made it a little bit easier for

you to learn that a "missing" header file is provided by IAR, I would
