arm development board and sample code

the only problem is lpc do not come in dip packages
so we have to go for smd soldering of the ic

that is not a problem for me i soldered many ICs SMD. I have a good soldering station too

I tried the NXP website but samples are not available anymore and i don't know where to get ARM from :|

now installing winArm===>
extract winarm in c drive or copy extracted winarm in c:
right click mycomputer=>properties=>advanced=>environment variables=>Path(doubleclick)
add ;C:\WinARM\bin;C:\WinARM\arm-elf\bin;C:\WinARM\utils\bin;C:\WinARM\pn;
do not forget the semicolons to seperate the directories

it is available aplenty from nxp mumbai
and even in pune,
hope u can come up some time....

hmm.. i cannot lol!

Hey i forgot to tell you the best tool i used!!!!!!
its Cygwin have you heard of it?

its linux simulation tool on windows. So you can program like you do in linux. i actually used it when working on PowerPC. it can be used for ARM too. As you know linux can be used to compile for 16 different kind of targets so.. we can make use of cygwin to directly generate the output file..

are u going to discuss ARM from basics or wat?

of course from basics... we are all going to learn the basic thing we always need is.. Development board, IDE etc.. only after that you can start doing something isn't it?

yes abbas
we shall discuss arm from basic.
but the discussion has not yet started

yeah this is just an initial spark of the discussion and i think everyone want to learn

yes we can use cygwin no doubt...
i have used cygwin in the past..
works fine
but i had problem in the Interrupt sections...
and trust me winarm is almost the same as using cygwin only thing is that here u have a make file instead of a batch file
and i can say repeatedly winArm has been the best for me for over a year now
