The iARM-2103 is the first in a new series of highly integrated SBCs. The iARM-2103 is based on a powerful Philips LPC2103 ARM7 microcontroller and features an easy-to-use USB interface.

The iARM-2103 can draw its power from the USB port, which enables immediate development without additional hardware. It includes many features not found in comparably priced boards such as lead-free/RoHS-compliant components, a DIP switch for configuration instead of jumpers, a JTAG header, a 64-Kb I²C EEPROM, brownout protection, firmware upgrades via USB, free USB drivers, an RTC with a 32.768-kHz clock and battery backup support, an ADC, all of the I/O signals brought out to headers, and much more.

The iARM-2103, which measures 2.6² × 1.9², can be used as either a plug-in module or a stand-alone SBC. In the stand-alone configuration, the iARM-2103 is easily mounted with standoffs and the header pins plug directly into standard 0.1² cable connectors.

The iARM-2103 is fully supported by the ICCARM C compiler. The ICCARM demo is fully functional for 45 days and becomes a 10-KB code limited for noncommercial use after 45 days. It is perfect for iARM-2103 development. Flash programming can be done using the free Philips serial downloader over the USB port.

The product comes with numerous example programs to speed development, including a variety of iARM-2103 programs and Windows applications demonstrating communications between the PC and the iARM-2103 over USB.

The iARM-2103 costs $89 in single quantities. The ICCARM compiler is $199.
