FriendlyARM Sales Specialists  Mini2440 ARM9 Best of Show

July 1: Educators, now is the time to order for fall! Take advantage of the discount schedule for classroom sets of Mini35s and Cable kits.

June 24: A Red Letter Day! Thanks to the efforts of Michel Pollet (AKA BusError) Mini2440 support has been merged into mainstream Linux 2.6.31 We all owe Michel a debt of gratitude for the high quality of his work and his support of the Mini2440. Hip hip hooray! Now if everyone will leave him alone, who knows what will come next?

June 19: The downloads page has some new instructions for setting up wifi on Angstrom/GPE.

June 10: Two anouncements today. We have a new release of FriendlyARM's Linux with binaries and source code on the downloads page. Also, a huge shipment of Power over Ethernet equipment is here. Rev up your DIY PoE schemes!

Take a look at the new Antex 75p butane hot air surface mount tool. What a simple way to get into surface mount soldering and rework.  Good news everyone! Everything is in stock!  The CMOS 1.3 MPixel cameras are here: the CAM130 plugs onto the camera connector of the Mini2440 board. USB-Wifi - a USB connector with short cable to seperate wifi PCB and antenna is also in. The cable and tiny PCB allow more mounting options than a USB wifi stick. PoE injectors and splitters are here. 

To Father's Day and Beyond! Father's Day Special: Mini35 Developers Kit. Plenty of stock and $109.95 with Free Priority Mail Shipping in the U.S. and Shipping reductions for USPS Priority International. Yes, big price reductions across the ARM9 line. Slow economy? Summer slowdown? Manufacturers tring to move processors and circuit boards? Maybe all of those and more. We don't really know, but prices are dropping and we are passing it along. Maybe it is like an iPhone and we are on the downhill price slope till the next revision with more Flash, RAM and general pizzaz. As long as it is hardware, software, and mechanically compatible, we are all for it!

 

Other cool news. We are adding some ARM7 Arduino style boards soon. Stand by.
