The BeagleBoard might be under $100 for 40 off.

It will be sufficient solution for my application, but unfortunately in basic
version there is not an ethernet connector . This connector is provided only
in addition BeagleBuddy Zippy Ethernet Combo Board which costs $79.

I need find another board ...

Thanks for your engagement.

Do you know the mini2440 from friendlyarm? The board itself costs about
50,- $. You can get it with or without LCD Touchscreen Display. For your
requirements (HD44780 LCD), you can use it without Touchscren Display
and connect the HD44780 LCD Display to IO-Ports of the board.

If your enclosure supports it you can use a USB-ethernet adaptor, which
are available for about $5-10.

Excellent! I'm exactly looking for something like this. I've just send a
question to distributor (http://www.andahammer.com) about cost and realizing
time. I hope that everything will be OK.

Thank you very much for this proposal.

Yes, but it will not look nice ...

I bought it directly in China via E-Bay. In the moment, i cannot find
any offers without TFT-Display, but it should be available.

I got it very fast, less than a week from shanghai to germany.

I'm going to buy single Mini2440 boards from this site:
http://www.andahammer.com/mini244/ . They give the nice discounts

By the way, could you recommend any low-cost JTAG programmer for this CPU
(S3C2440) and Flash memory? What kind of tools do you use?

Thanks in advance.

When i got my Mini2440, there were small devices included, which seem to
be something programmers or jtag adapters.

I did not use it, but it looks like the parallel-port programmers which
i use for AVR programming via LPT.

I myself only made some tests, flashing linux kernel e.g. This works
fine via USB connection and a software tool which is included or can be
downloaded. But you don´t need this to test your software. You can
simply transfer data via ethernet or usb-stick.

My collegues do the programming of this device, so i can only write,
that it works...
