Lpc2000

Hi,

tested Keil, IAR and Rowleys.  Keil, is easiest to use, followed by
Rowleys, then IAR. Keil has the best simulator. IAR seems a little
more stable and once you are familiar with the linker files, handling
is OK. Rowley is easy to use but for the programs we tested (mostly in
Thumb mode) both IAR and Keil generated quite a bit smaller code. When
compiling for speed in ARM mode, IAR was the best of these 3, Keil and
Rowleys similar with Keil having a little smaller code. 

All 3 compilers can be recommended as professional tools with good
debugging support. 

In regards to which device you should start with, I would recommend
the LPC2148 unless you need more than 512k code.

Cheers, Bob
