Christophe A large part of the battle seems to be selecting the right ARM board to play with. There is an Atmel shop by where I work (Qualcomm) that I was thinking of looking at since I heard Atmel makes some very simple ARM boards. ARM7TDMI (ARMv4) seems to be the simplest chip we'd want to get.
I've never used a JTAG interface but I think we could probably use someone else's a few times to avoid shelling out $1000+ for it. I'd like to try loading some toy software in addition to Linux on it. I can tell you what I find out if you wish. Chris > On Mon, 2007-10-01 at 14:49 -0700, Paul G.
