Hello All,

Thought that this would be of interest:

Oki Semiconductor Incorporates Unique Features to Deliver Industry's
Lowest Cost, Easy to Use ARM-based Evaluation Kit

New Fully-featured AME-51 Evaluation Kit allows designers to quickly
evaluate Oki's 4050/4060 Series Advantage Microcontrollers

Sunnyvale, Calif., August 8, 2005 - Oki Semiconductor, a leading
technology partner for the new era of digital communications and
convergence, today announced the availability of a low-cost, full-
featured evaluation kit for its ARM7TMDI-based 4050/4060 Series
Advantage Microcontrollers. At a suggested resale price of $249,
Oki's Advantage Microcontroller Evaluation Kit (AME-51)is the lowest
priced 'complete-in-one-box' ARM-based evaluation solution in the
industry. The AME-51 kit enables product designers to easily
integrate Oki's 4060 Series - The World's Smallest ARM - and 4050
Series MCUs into their designs. Based on ARM's 32-bit architecture,
Oki's AME-51 Kit provides designers with a complete and
flexible 'plug and play' evaluation environment that is easy to use.
This evaluation kit offers designers unique features to shorten the
time to market for their products.

Purchase the kit:
NuHorizons: http://www.nuhorizons.com/ame51/
Mouser: http://www.mouser.com/index.cfm?

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but OKI still do not provide code
protection for the internal flash.

Hi,

if you really want it low cost, this might help:
http://www.newmicros.com/
click on the LPC2131 link and buy a little board for $29. Links to
download GNU, Keil, Eclipse reference design, Forth are also listed
there. It is not a ready to go kit with all the software tested and
integrated but well, it is REALLY low cost.

If you need a some performance out of your ARM chip (Oki = 33 MHz!?),
this forum gives plenty of links to the 60 MHz versions of the LPC2000
family. 

Did you post this on the OKI-ARM group? Some traffic there could be
useful because it seems to be dead ;-)

Also what about this noise the worlds smallest ARM? The board
obviously uses the 144-pin package.  

Bob

Thanks for the mention of our $29 board.

Yes, I was wondering what that post was about, with an OKI
processor that was half the speed and 8x the cost of what we
were offering, being listed as "cheap".

We now offer four different LPC21xx processor boards under $90
with more coming. And with the whole board and support circuitry
being less than 1.5x1.0" I have to wonder about the OKI claim of
being small as well.

Hey there,

Thanks for the pointers ..

Personally I really like having everything come all packaged up and 
tested.  Saves time, and time is money.  The board does use the 
144-pin package, but it's a functional super-set ... and it seems 
that the 144-pin package allows for the external RAM and therefore 
re-mapping of the RAM over flash for quick debugging and more breakpoints.

Anyway, thanks for the tips!

Mike

One thing that puzzles me: many of the oki arm chips have I2S interfaces,
while LPC does not. Seems a bit strange since Philips invented I2S.
