Not quite, but close. The current boards have an LPC1769, the first
versions were LPC1114. All the same price, so you might as well get the
big one (and stock of the older ones is running out).

The emphasis here is on paperweight, not JTAG. Why would you *NOT* throw
out a piece of proprietary silicon whos only purpose is to make sure you
pay (that's why it has the big encryption chip) and which doesn't work
properly on Linux even after you pay the US$1k, with all the other parts
of the toolchain being open source, when you can buy a decent JTAG
adapter for a fraction of the price that also works with open source
software?
