Which ARM Core?

Bozo the Clown

Hi,

I'm looking at 2 cheap development boards. One has a LPC1768 Cortex-M3 processor, and the other has a LPC2368 TDMI-S processor. I dunno which to get, and maybe could use some suggestions.

I'd like to use open source tools (sorry Keil), and maybe end up running FreeRTOS or something. USB might be fun to play with, if I can get the right software somewhere, and I noticed that the LPC1768 board has a host mode connector that the LPC2368 one doesn't. I'm a bit vague about what I want to do, really.

Any clues as to which core offers the most advantages for a noob experimenter?

Boz.

    That board has a colour graphic LCD with touch screen - so it's hardly surprising that it's much more expensive, is it?!

    I suggest you look at the Stellaris boards from TI (formerly Luminary Micro), or STM32 from Olimex - they have some very low-cost boards.

    And there certainly are people providing low-cost boards using the NXP LPC17xx chips...
