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



I've used both and now prefer Atmel. I found the interface to internal
flash on the LPC's to be a bit quirky, and the SAM7's UART has more
features. It's really splitting hairs. If you find a chip with the
right set of peripherals, then use it.
Most of my code can be ported between SAM7/LPC with minimal effort.
It's nice to have a second source ;)
