Embedded Artists' LPC2138 Education Board is the perfect board if you want to experiment with own hardware on the breadboard and get to know the NXP LPC2xxx family in general and the LPC2138 in particular.
The board contains interesting on-board peripherals that are useful for experiments. The experiments can be further expanded via the expansion connector.
Includes on-board OpenOCD compatible embedded JTAG interface!
The board can be used for education purposes as well as for experiment and prototype projects.
