Does anybody in this forum know where I can find a general design reference (schematic level) for a basic ARM7 micro (from any vendor) so that I can use to start out hardware design. Unlike 8051 based processor, I can not find an ARM spec sheet that includes schematic. Thanks in advance, JIMMY
There are a number of vendors that sell pre-packaged ARM processors with various peripherals and perhaps integrated memory, including: Atmel http://www.atmel.com/products/AT91/ Philips http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/markets/mms/products/microcontrollers/key_solutions/32bit/ Oki http://www2.okisemi.com/site/productscatalog/armsolutions/MCUTables-9.html and no doubt many others. The processor cores all come from ARM, so you can check their web site for generic programming reference model and the like. Specific details for a particular chip will have to come from the manufacturer's data sheet.
