Hi,

I have a Keil evaluation board and the one that has printed MCB2114
must be an earlier version (I guess prototype). It says now MCB2100
and because there is no LPC2100 device (it is a family name), my
conclusion is it can be used for several different devices. If you
look at the pinout, the LPC2114 / LPC2124 / 2119 / 2129 are identical
with the exception of the 2 CAN interfaces. For somebody who wants to
evaluate the LPC2114, the LPC2129 seems to be a REAL superset, so not
a problem to use it. 

Regarding your question, external Ethernet Controller, not on this
board. It is a simple board with 2 CAN transceivers and a
potentiometer that can be hooked up with the ADC input. It is square
with a blue silk screen and a tiny prototype area. 

It is no online in the Philips tools list:
http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/markets/mms/products/microcontrollers/support/development_tools/tools_by_family/arm7tdmi/index.html
Select Development boards and scroll down a bit. According to that
site, the leadtime is 72h!

Oh, almost forgot the question about the cable, a serial cable will do
the job, actually there is no USB interface on the board. Optionally
the is supposed to be a JTAG debugger version (the Keil website calls
it ULINK) that will work with the board. 

Will anybody be at the Embedded World show in Nuremberg, Germany next
week? Got a hint that there will be a lot of new announcements
regarding the LPC2100 family. So who ever finds the news first, let
the group know what kind of devices are now official.

Cheers, Bob.
btw. I will be at the show, checking Philips, Keil, Ashling, Hitex,
Atmel and OKI. May the best man (chip) win :-)
