Hello,
Does anybody have any used development board (ARM or TI DSP) you never
use it again?I am a poor student and want to buy it for practice.
Thanks,

look on www.Keil.com
Their MCB2100 (Philips LPC2129 ARM7) and uLink JTAG debugger is
inexpensive.
There it has the usual KEil eval SW, compiler simulator etc and there
are some free RTOS for it.
You will probably find it more cost effective to buy this new rather
than chase round and pay for a second hand system that may or may not be
complete etc..

that guy that continually spams these newsgroups, I don't recall their
name nor do I know of the quality of the boards these companies produce.
All I can say about any of these is that Olimex does manufacture PCB quite
cheaply, I've only had contact with them for this purpose.

I _suggest_ you look at EVBs based on the Philips LPC series ARM
micros. There are some very cheap ones - $50 or so is the starting
price. Visit www.olimex.com.
If you are in the USA (and I guess from your posting that you are), I
can give you free of charge an appliance based around an ARM7
(CL-PS7500FE). ucLinux has been ported to this device, and it is a
_REASONABLE_ experimentation platform. But my advice would be for you
to look at something that's in current production; every part in that
particular appliance is long obsolete.

They have a couple of US distributors of their premade materials. I've
bought their MSP430 tools in the recent past, both for official
work-work and for home hobby work. Build quality is good, professional
retail packaging also. Impressive, particularly at the price.

If you want to do embedded programming with your won OS then look at the
Yahoo groups LPC2100 forum which is very cheap and an Arm7 controller.
If you want to do embedded linux on Arm, look at the Webpal or now the
Actiontec Dual modem on Ucdot which can both be hacked and repurposed.
Cheers, Vincent

Webpal is what I'm offering him for free. But I vacillate on how useful
it really is. It's very old technology.
