RE: [lpc2100] EasyARM

2003-11-26 by Hugh O'Keeffe

Hi Leon,
I actually have one of these kits. Its made by ZLGMCU (
<http://www.zlgmcu.com/home.asp> http://www.zlgmcu.com/home.asp) and is
selling in the far east for $40. Babel fish does a reasonable job of
translating in, however, since I have one I'm sure I can do better! The
kit contains:

1. ZLGMCU LPC2100 evaluation board (contains 2 serial interfaces,
EmbeddedICE connector, 6 user switches, 4 LEDs, Reset switch, Port pins
header, piezo speaker and various jumpers). Board is double sided
(power/ground are tracked) and manufactured to a high standard with good
quality legends.

2. 220AC/9DC US/China PSU.

3. Parallel and Serial cables.

4. CD

5. EasyJTAG Parallel port ICE (very simple wiggler, single IC (244/245?)
based design).

 

Software includes:

1. EasyJTAG Remote Debug Interface (ARM RDI std) DLL driver.

2. LPC2xxxx ISP (ISP based Flash programmer provided by Philips).

3. EasyARM software (appears to be software that interfaces via RS232 to
the evaluation board. Exact functionality not known as it all in
Chinese, however, I suspect it is a very basic terminal type program).

4. Suite of example programs written for ARM ADS environment (which come
with CodeWarrior project files).

5. Various PDF manuals

6. uCOS-II Operating System ported to LPC2xxx including full sources.

 

Comments: 

1. Overall very impressive for 40$s. 

2. Kit does *not* include compiler or source-level debugger.

3. Supplied EasyJTAG ICE + RDI driver can be used with ARM ADS (i.e. its
a very low-cost/low-performance drop-in replacement for MultiICE) and
probably others like IAR C-Spy etc. I verifed it with the ARM ADX
debugger and it works for LPC2xxx (i.e. ARM7TDMI-S only).

4. My far east contacts tell me that cracked versions of ARM ADS are
easily available in China for internet download (not via ZLGMCU!). This
means a Chinese developer can get fully tooled up for LPC2xxx
development for ~$40.

I've been trying to help someone in Hong Kong get his home-made LPC2106
system working. This morning he mentioned an ARM kit he had borrowed
from a
friend; it's called EasyARM. I found this web site:

http://www.8051faq.com.cn/arm/easyarm2104.htm

with some Googling. It looks interesting, especially for someone who
reads
Chinese. If the price is 350 Yuan, it must be under $50!
