Announcing the Tini2131(tm) for only $29!!!

The Tini2131(tm) comes in the popular Tini pinout
format and is based on the Philips ARM LPC2131.
The  LPC2131 has 32K Flash and 8K RAM. It has
on-board regulation, reset circuitry, RS-232
conversion, and three  user programmable indicator
LED's. The Tini2131(tm) has 16 of the best I/O
pins of the LPC2131 brought out, and  separate I2C
connections for networking. The 16 shared I/O pins
include two 32-bit timers, PWM, and 2  serials
which can be UARTS, I2C or SPI. There are even up
to eight channels of 10-bit A/D. This device can
be currently be developed in GCC using Eclipse in
the same way as the original TiniARM, as well as
having   leading software toolchains from
companies like Keil Software.

It's small size, 1" x 1.3", allows it to be a
tightly integrated solution to robotics, motion,
automotive,  and industrial control, as well as
the capability of being used in networking and
data logging  applications. Currently Circuit
Cellar magazine has a design contest for ARMs
limited to the LPC213x  controllers and the
TIni2131(tm) would be excellent to use in
development.

The Tini2131(tm) features the 60 Mhz, LPC-2131
32-bit ARM CPU . The popular ARM processor has
wide third  party language support and with free
development tools like the Eclipse development
environment using GCC  and a demo version of the
Keil compiler as well. Other great languages soon
to come from New Micros are  IsoMax/Forth and
StatiC for the ARM. As an introductory offer we
will include a free Keil Demo CD upon  request.

A serial bootloader is preinstalled for easy
program loading. In system programming can be done
with use of  the onboard serial connection.

A Tini2131(tm) Development kit with the serial
cable, power supply and Proto-development-board is
available. Don't forget other great peripherals
like our line of h-bridges to complement
all of our varied microcontroller boards.

The "Tini" format is a good choice for
flexibility. Should you need a different type of
processor several  are available. In previous
mailings, New Micros has introduced the 32-bit
60-MHz LPC2106 ARM based module  known as the
TiniARM(TM) and also the 8-bit Mega128 based
TiniAVR(TM). These entries follows its 16-bit
80-MHz DSP based TiniPod(TM). New Micros continues
new development with the Tini2131(tm) this month.
Additional development in this format is planned,
including Tini430(TM) and TiniHC12(TM). We are
looking  forward to even more products in this,
our 25th year of meeting embedded control needs.

I was tickled to stumble across this yesterday when I was browsing the
NMI site.  The price isn't bad; the size is great.

But, I wondered, why choose the smallest of the LPC213x series?  It's
the same work to build the board, etc. etc.  Wouldn't it be better to
put the LPC2138 chip on it instead?  Or, at least, offer it with a
choice of LPC213x variants?

> ...  Tini2131(tm) has 16 of the best I/O pins of the LPC2131 brought out

Also, even though I love the small size of the TiniXXXX boards, aren't
we throwing away a *lot* of the LPC213x I/O pins?  (I don't know what to
suggest.) 

Inquiring minds want to know.

Glad you like it !

Actually we have the LPC2138 available too. We
wanted to offer a board for everyone at a very
attractive price and in order to do so, had to
work in significant quantities. The LPC2131 worked
as a good baseline choice.

I think we did pretty good in getting as many
versatile I/O out on a very small board while
still maintaining standard 0.1 spaced dual row
header connection. We do have the Plug-an-ARM
using the LPC2106 that has more pins, but check
the Tini2131 the pin out :

Oh, thanks.  I had missed that when trying to browse your web site, but
I see it now.  So, ok, you cover the high and low-end LPC213x variants
after all.  That's great.

Good point.

Ok, that sounds like a reasonable trade off.

> We do have the Plug-an-ARM using the LPC2106 that has more pins, but

I still failed to find this one on the web site.  (The site is a bit
difficult for me to navigate, using either Firefox or Konqueror on
Linux.  Whenever I right click on a link and choose "open in new tab" I
get the home page in the new tab rather than the page I'm trying to get,
so I have to start at the top and drill down again from the beginning
each time.)  I did find the Plug-an-ARM based on the LPC2129, though.

Eventually, I plan to try out my Forth on the Tini2106 board I got some
time ago.  I think it will work.  I put an Intel HEX file of the Forth,
set up for a 10 MHz crystal, on my web site, in case anyone wants to try
it out before I get to it.  (It is basically the same as the version
that works with the Olimex LPC2106 board except one is set up for a 10
MHz crystal and the other for a 14.xxxx crystal.)

Once I try that out, I hope to get a Tini2131 or Tini2138 and try it
there.

Does the TiniARM (Tini2106) carrier board also work for the Tini2131?

Thanks for the information.

Oops, my mistake, the PluganARM is LPC2129 based.
We may be looking at other MCUs to use in the
Pluga pinout if there seems to be a demand.

This sounds like a pretty good development, please
let me know how it goes.

That will be a great addition too.

Yes, the development board works for all the
boards with the Tini pinout, as well as all boards
the Pluga pinout. So you can essentially get one
carrier and try out several ARM 32 bit boards, an
8 bit AVR, and a 16 bit Freescale DSP all on the
same development board.

However, I just tried it under Galeon (on Linux) and opening in a new
tab worked fine (but still not working in Firefox) -- in case you want
to pass these notes to your web developer.

Great.  I'll post the results.  It could be a while.

Ok, I've just ordered a Tini2131.  I'm sure I'll need to adjust for its
memory map (compared to the LPC2106), but once I confirm Riscy Pygness
is working on the Tini2106, the Tini2131 shouldn't be too far behind.
