Hi guys 😃

I have just decided i wanna jump from the PIC 8-32bit platform and over to ARM. Why ARM? You tell me…

So far this looks great: [http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi … 2759.l1259](http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390046975395&_trksid=p2759.l1259)

But is the samsung S3C2440/this devboard where i want to start? I do know i have to do some more research, but point on something for me, please…

Thanks

Jan

I elected to use NXP LPC2xxx ARM7. Mainstream.

Olimex boards are a good start. Sold here. LPC2106 is a good one.

ETT’s ARM Stamp is really cheap. Sold by Futurlec.

Sounds like you want ARM9 that can run Linux. May as well use a mini-ITX board and Intel Atom for that. Much easier.
