LPC210x ‘ARMee’ Development System (2)

build and program the ARMee board

Bored with PICs, AVRs and 8051s everyone else is doing? Last month we covered 32-bit ARM microcontrollers and the undeniable star from all the devices discussed in that article was the Philips LPC210x. This month the real thing is upon us: enter ARMee, an incredibly powerful ARM development board you can build and program yourself.

Components

The BOM (Bill of Materials) is the technically exhaustive listing of parts and other hardware items used to produce the working and tested prototype of any Elektor Labs project. The BOM file contains deeper information than the Component List published for the same project in Elektor Magazine. If required the BOM gets updated directly by our lab engineers. As a reader, you can download the list here.
