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!

What about coldfire ?

http://www.netburner.com/products/core_modules/mod5213.html
The dip modules from netburner are failry cheap US$40
dev kit is reasonable
Also avr32 from atmel
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=4102

See if you can use one of the network development boards
good for US$69. Atmel provides avr32gcc for windows and linux + ide(eclipse)
Keep an eye on the blackfin handy board project.
Boards are supposed to be available soon.
analog devices blackfin processor at 600MHz + 64MB ram and 256MB flash
+ xilinx s3 fpga for io
blackfin is a fixed point dsp
