Interesting, I can find easily Atmega328 for USD 6.5 ( w/ bootloader programmed 
) or USD5 w/o bootloader in Jakarta.

But I can not find Si570 ready stock here. Internet will solve this easily..

sudramanta,

i don't use an arduino. as is, the circuit is capable of being programmed.
which is why we have the serial port. this is what you do :
1. download the arduino developement environment
2. connect a usb-to-serial cable from the pc to the minima
3. from tools->serial port, set the correct serial port of the
usb-to-serial cable .
4. power up the minima.
5. press the upload button in the toolbar of the arduino.
6. keep clicking the rest button every two seconds until the led starts to
rapidly blink. stop pressing the reset button as soon as the led starts
blinking.
7. after a few seconds, the blinking will stop, the new sketch would have
been uploaded to the minima.
