Suggest board for ARM development

Suggest board for ARM development

Post by trinopoty »

My fellow developers,
Can you please suggest me an ARM development board with ARM946E-S processor. Also, it must have some way to debug it.

Regards,
Trinopoty

Hi,

You're unlikely to find a board with a 926 in. The 926 implements the ARMv5TEJ architecture, which is not *too* far removed from the ARMv6T2 architecture as used by the 1176 in the Raspberry Pi (apart from Thumb2 vs. Thumb1...).

The RPi is your best bet, I think.

Cheers,
James

The Hawkboard had the ARM926EJ-S as it's processor; but the website seems to have suffered critical existence failure.

I just thought that my wiki might have what you need, but unfortunately I haven't added any development boards for the ARM946E-S yet. I was wondering whether some of TomTom's navigation units use the ARM946E-S, but it seems they rather use ARM920T or ARM926EJ-S based SoCs.

I read Nintendo DSi use that board?
also the Raspberry Pi might be usable for OSdev?
