Opinions about the NXP LPC3000



Hi there - I've been eying the NXP LPC3000 series for a while now, as
it's an ARM9 with both an FPU and an MMU (though no CAN, annoyingly
enough), but never bit the bullet as the BGA package always scared me
off. Well - I've finally developed a technique for soldering BGAs, so
I think it's time I play with one of these buggers.

Anyways - what do you all think of these parts? Also, is there any
compiler support for the FPU yet? It's a new chip so I'm a bit
worried. I looked at the Cirrus EP-9302 a while back but from what I
read, compiler support for it's FPU was seriously lacking.

Also - what is your general opinion about NXP? I've only worked with
Atmel - who has (for the most part) been very helpful. NXP has a god
awful website - so I guess it makes me worried about the rest of the
company.

Thanks!

-Michael
