The MCB2100 ARM7 board from Keil

This is the MCB2100 development board from Keil:




The board itself is pretty simple. It contains an LPC2129 microcontroller from NXP (Philips). One standard 20-pin JTAG connection, one ETM connection, 2 serial ports and 2 CAN ports. There are also leds and buttons and the usual stuff on the board



There is also a ULINK USB-jtag in the package :)




The included CDROM contains a "light" version of Keil uVision for ARM that works very well with this JTAG unit. Note however that you might need to download the latest drivers from Keil website, the old ones sometime BSOD on laptops :(




The schematics below are copied from the included PDF documents:





While the board is pretty basic by itself, itis easy to connect it to add-on or self made stuff. Consider for example the "TV-Based Oscilloscope" project by Ilya Mamontov:
