Lpc2000

Hi all,
    I would like to obtain a cheap setup to experiment using the LPC 
2212/14. Could someone please help me with the following beginner 
queries.

 
    1. Where are the development boards for the 2212/14 available
       a. If so how much would they cost. 

    2. I am planning on using the GNU toolchain (GCC, GDB) for the 
development/debugging. 
       a. Does a tool like the LPC2000 ISP programmer for the device 
exist for a Linux platform
       b. If I use JTAG to program/debug on the board where do I 
obtain a JTAG adapter and what is the setup for programming/debugging 
using that in Linux. 


 NOTE: I have chosen the LPC 2212/14 over LPC2106 for the sole reason 
that it has an external bus and I can interface devices like an 
external ADC or USB device etc to the microcontroller. I hope my 
understanding is correct. 

Thanks in Advance

Regards

There are certainly USB, A/D and D/A peripherals that do not require a 
parallel address and data bus.  Unless you are planning on using a specific 
peripheral that needs the external bus the only other driving force would 
be if you needed more memory than is provided on chip on the non-external 
bus chips.
