Few Days Cak i buy this board

Blueboard LPC1343
http://shop.ngxtechnologies.com/product_info.php?cPath=21_33&products_id=106

Though this board comes with bootloader, i still wants a programmer for programming and debugging purpose.

I searched on internet and found ULINK2 from keil as a good programmer and debugger.

What is its price.

I searhed element14, they are charging Rs 36000 for this.
while an indian site NSK Electronics is charging Rs4500 only, why is it so.

NSK Link

Element14 Link

Please suggest me, i can afford from Element14, but i dont want to but a duplicate one.

There are also various other programmers on NGX Site.

But i think they dont support my board with Keil IDE
I found this very good but its doesn;t support my controller.
:-(

JTAG ARM programmer/debuggers are not inexpensive by any means.

KEIL's ULINK2 is certainly a well made and supported JTAG ARM programmer/debugger as is the Segger J-Link which is my preference.

If you are a student or simply a hobbyist, Segger offers a noncommercial/educational J-Link for a fraction of the price of the commercial unit, the only difference is you agree not to develop commercial applications for the noncommercial/educational version.

Debug Probes - J-Link and J-Trace

J-Link EDU

The J-Link EDU is available from most distributors including Mouser, Digikey, etc.

I actually own two professional models and the J-Link has served their purpose well.


Beware of counterfeit clones as both KEIL and Segger regular blacklist these devices, essentially preventing their firmware from being updated, a regular occurrence in the world of ARM JTAG.


Another option is to purchase a third party JTAG ARM programmer/debugger, however support for these device is iffy as well as compatibility with development suites like KEIL.

Thanks for your reply.

Actually i am a hobbyist and i am from India, so cant buy things from Outside as don't have international cards.
After searching lot on internet i found Realview ULINK2 is available India and its cost is Rs4500
Here is its link
**broken link removed**

And here is Element14 Link
https://in.element14.com/keil/ulink2/debug-adapter-arm7-arm9-8051-c166/dp/2309951
Its Cost Rs 36,600.

Can any one suggest me why it is so.

The following from nskelectronics is most likely a counterfeit clone:

While the following from element14 is the authentic item:


If you want to confirm these suspicions, contact KEIL and ask them for their opinion, I'm certain they will be more than happy to give it to you.

As I indicated in my previous reply, the Segger J-Link is available from most distributors including element14 of India:

SEGGER - 8.08.90 J-LINK EDU - JTAG EMULATOR, J-LINK, EDU, USB

element14 - India Search for Segger

The Segger J-Link is fully compatible with the KEIL MDK-ARM Compiler and uVision IDE, as well as GCC-ARM.

I've been using a Segger J-Link successfully with the KEIL MDK-ARM and uVision IDE for the past decade or more.

Thank you sir
But still these are very costly.

What about CooLinkEx and open source debugger from CooCox.
It is very cheap and on element14 it cost Rs1800 Less than 20$.
Is it a good programmer as i am working with cortex m3 it supports it.
And one can use this in keil also.
Please suggest me that whether i can buy this or not.
I am using Lpc1343 and Lpc1768.

One more silly question is it a programmer also means one can program our code also.
I know debugger can program also but just want to confirm as there is written coolinkex debugger.
Please reply as soon as possible.
 

Please someone reply to the above question.

Apart from this i am having LPC2148 Board ARM7 and i found a parallel port debugger cost only Rs250, my PC have Parallel Port is it okay to buy this also apart from the above one.

The above is the link of that, it can be integrated with Keil uVision IDE
