Here's the straight skinny.  After all, I'm an engineer not a sales
weenie.

I have a preliminary run of 10 pcb's for both processors.  Only one
board of each has been built.  This is the second turn of the LPC
board and it has been reasonably wrung out - I can talk to all the
parts.  I have almost finished a port of Ed Sutter's MicroMonitor to
the board. TCP/IP (tftp), Flash Write, TFS (Tiny File System), all
seem to be working but I really need to bang on them some more before
pronouncing them DONE.  Still have to do the register dump function
and the interface to the RTC (via i2c).  I have parts in hand for one
or two more boards but can order and get more reasonably quick.  I
have an assembly house 'almost' lined up.  A PayPal link on the web
site is early on my list of to-do's, as is getting a sales tax
certificate for Texas. (If you are out of state, then don't worry
about that part.)

Thanks for asking.

Hi Bill,
The board looks feature packed @ a reasonable price, nice work. 

Questions:

1. Is it available now ? If not, when ?
2. What software is available ? Anything for TCP/IP/Ethernet ?

<WARNING> - Semi blatent advertising follows

I've been in the embedded systems business since way back when I had
more hair of a darker color (colour for those of you across the pond).
The last few years have allowed me the opportunity to work with the
smaller ARM processors and I love them.  At the start of a recent ARM
project we (I) was faced with getting the toolset, startup code, and
packet processor code up and running while the hardware was still
being designed.  After a bit of web searching, an eval board was found
that had the same processor family as our project and we ordered it.
A typical eval board arrived soon afterwards.  It had a CPU, a
crystal, some DB-9s, some switches, a few LEDs, and a bunch of holes.
It did the job I for which needed it but is now sitting on a corner of
my bench most likely never to be used again.  It (the board, not the
bench) was the least expensive one at the time at about $200 (USD). I
thought surely there are better alternatives.  I just had not found
one.

From that background, theARMPatch was born.  It is a small company (me)
whose purpose is to make nicely featured, ARM development/evaluation/...
boards available at a reasonable price.  Boards that can be used to
bring up toolsets, get startup code running, etc.  But also boards
that can have usefulness afterwards.

So all that said, if you are still awake and reading, please have a look at
http://www.theARMPatch.com and let me know what you think.  Remember, the
website and design direction are in their infancy.  Your suggestions and
comments will be appreciated.
