I have MCB1700 board with LPC 1768. But I would like to know if there is board which have LPC 1788 on it from Keil?
I actually think quite a high percentage did go for a demo/evaluation board to learn the processor on known-working hardware while concurrently working on designing custom hardware. All with the intention of having lots of working code the day the first hw prototypes shows up. And also having been able to catch some gotchas from using the evaluation boards, potentially saving an extra spin with the custom hardware.
I strongly agree with Per Westermark.
