Hi,
you can apply for butterfly kit in circuitcellar AVR contest 2006 (http://www.circuitcellar.com/avr2006). 1st phase of distribution is finished and second phase may start anytime.

So, if you are interested then wait and have an eye on the kit request page (http://www.circuitcellar.com/avr2006/kit.html ). Because it will be announced anytime and the kits will be allocated within very short time. Smile

Best regards.

Well,
asking for an ARM development kit and getting offered an 8-bit AVR kit does not really cut, does it? THere was a similar contest from Circuitcellar for the Philips ARM LPC2138 about half a year ago, but that is past time and long gone.
Closest to free is cheapest available.
Two things come to mind:
www.embeddedartists.com with very nice inexpensive boards. Last year they had a christmas special for 9.99 Euro, still they have boards starting at 29 Euro, that cme with nice examples and as far as I know the GNU tools
http://www.embeddedartists.com/products/boards/lpc213x.php

The other well know provider of ARM boards would be Olimex.

Hope this is still within your budget.

Bob

Same problem here. Moreover My country is not listed there in the country list.

Does anyone have any suggestion or idea what to do?? I didn't find any specific email contact there in their website.

It is better to save a little money and buy one. It is not expensive to get dev boards witk many peripherals, for less than 100 bucks. Or you can make your own, with no guarantee it will work.

ATMEL is giving there Butterfly AVR development board FREE and I got one from them. This is the first time in my life I getting development board FREE. If you want to work with AVR then request ATMEL for Butterfly board.
