I need to get some inexpensive development tools/hardware to make sure 
the LPC1xx is suitable for our needs. After digging about it looks like 
I should be able to get by with the ARM-JTAG and LPC-P1 from Olimex for 
hardware, and the GNU tools from http://www.ocdemon.com/OCDemonWindows.html

Using this will I be able to debug source? I saw one post in the archive 
that seemed to indicate that you could only debug in assembly?

Does anyone see any obvious problems with these choices? Other suggestions?

Thanks,

Brian

Hi Brian

I am looking like you for a good platform. I am familiar with the 
Atmel JTag ATmega128 IDE platform-nice and the Microchip MPlab IDE-
nice too, but I do not know what to expect with an LPC21xx platform.

If you find what you are looking for could you let me know. If I see 
something nice I will return the favor.

Hi

when you need a JTAG tool with Debugger, GNU compiler and examples 
fitting to LPC2100 and the existing LPC2100 baords than it seams that 
the Hitex tool chain is apropriate to get a fast entry with the 
possibility to upgrade to professional tools.

I fought through a very high-stress, fast development, without being
very familiar with the CPU or with the tools, and delivered prototypes
yesterday.  As far as these things go, this was a very good outcome
given the situation.  Here is what I used:

	1. Nohau JTAG ARM Emulator
	2. GCC 3.3.2
	4. The book, "Embedded System Design on a Shoestring" (ISBN
0750676094)
	5. This Yahoo Group

These tools work, although I cannot say they are the best choice.  I
simply didn't have time to put a lot of research into it, and when I
bought them (late December) I had trouble even getting vendors to call
me back.  But in this case, it all worked out.  Tooling costs were about
$1K.
