yeah....check out the AT91SAM7S64 dev kits from proprox, sparkfun (olimex) and atmel which includes example projects, the JTAG programmer, and IAR IDE for code size up to 32K....not bad considering we dropped 7K on the 512K version......... I've built a medical device that does BP, HR, SPO2, wireless scale, and even glucose monitor via USB, runs a small kernel (freertos.org yes....it's GPL!) and even has versions with ethernet included.....and it's code compatible to an at91rm9200 which does 200 MHz (the 91 does 55 or so max) and has an interface for external memory and display, not to mention quite a few other products, and the AT91SAM7S32 which has 32K flash and 8K ram is only $3.50.....AVRs are cool.....but these chips rock! > > I recommend www.sparkfun.com for little kits to program the chips (also > for PICs (which AVR pwns anyway) and tons of other microcontrollers). > and do whatever, but you could always build your own (google "Atmel AVR > ISP" for the most common programmer). > yeah....the pack includes one, or you can build a wiggle IF you still have a parallel port for about $20 but they're pretty slow....the J-LINK from IAG/Segger will handle everything you need pretty quick.. -T -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
