[1] I installed GNU ARM and WinAVR. After this ARM compiler doesn't work anymore. It freezes inside MicroIDE. I use Windows XP OS.

The reason of this problem - several cygwin1.dll files installed with GNUARM and WinAVR.How to solve this:

- Run Windows Search and look for cygwin1.dll file.
- Find recent file and copy it to %WIN%\System32\ folder. %WIN% - folder where Windows is installed.
- Delete all other cygwin1.dll files. The only cygwin1.dll file should exist in %WIN%\System32\ folder.
- Reboot the PC. After this both compilers should work well.

The board comes with a Mini USB cable that you can use to power the board from the USB port of a computer. You can also power the board from a USB power supply such as BiPOM's ADP-5V1A-MiniUSB.
