I have been following this yahoo group on LPC2xxx since end of last year,
and found it very informative. Since many other manufacturers are now
bringing out ARM7 based microcontrollers (Atmel, Motorola, OKI, etc), it
would be nice to be able to compare between devices of different
manufacturers or being able to discuss other options, surpassing the LPC2xxx
family. For instance I would be very interested to know about
performance/features/tools/experiences for the AT91 MCU's from Atmel.

 

Personally, I find the www.avrfreaks.net <http://www.avrfreaks.net/>
website (dedicated to Atmel's AVR series of MCU's) a good example of what
could be a website for ARM7 based MCU's.

If anybody at Philips want to improve their online forums, please, please
make it available as mailinglist too (or better: a mailing list and a good
online archive with good search facilities). Mailinglists have many
advantages compared to stupid web forums. You can see it with this yahoo
group - I guess most of the people here use the mailinglist feature of
yahoogroups and not the webpages.
