Overview

The EasyARM is MikroElektronika's development board for 64 and 144-pin ARM microcontrollers by NXP (formerly Philips Semiconductors). The EasyARM includes a high-speed USB programmer plus many useful built-in I/O features.

The EasyARM is supplied with a removable 64-pin LPC2148 MCU board and provides everything you need to start developing for, experimenting with or learning about this microcontroller. Additional MCU boards may be ordered separately for the LPC2148 and LPC2214.

By including the programmer, ARM MCU board and useful I/O devices on one board, the EasyARM will save you having to waste time trying to set up individual programmers, prototyping boards and I/O devices.
