Re: LPC or SAM7?

Does it even matter? I've been doing the smaller micros (PIC, 8052, etc) in
assembler for quite a while now, and I'd like to tinker with some ARM type
stuff using C (gcc will be fine). I want to be able to use TCP/IP on the
board. Looks like Olimex makes some pretty decent looking dev boards for
cheap, but I don't know if I should lean towards the LPC line or the SAM7.
What say ye?

thanks for reading

It only matters if LPC or SAM7 have the right combination of
peripherals that you will think you will need. I personally use
analog devices and st micro ARM's.
