Around here, USA if I want a ARM to proto with I just
go on the net and
look for a board with the desired arm on it I bought one recently for
$150 and the config was ARM9, 64meg ram, built in 256mb of flash with
linux in it and the usual USB, Ethernet and an IO extension area.
Plug in a USB flash of 16gb and you can bootstrap develop on it.
Only 2 problems with me doing that :
1) $150 is far too expensive for one of my projects. I am used to
microcontrollers costing a few pounds at msot
2) I don't want a pre-built board with peripherals I don't need on it. I
am a great believeer in actually designin the hardware to suit the
problem I am solving
