Folks thanks for input. And I hope x256 will be ok.
But, any thoughts for tutorial ? I can't see even a single comment
there (Embedded.com) although It was uploaded on 06/26/07.

When is the next article supposed to come out? I don't want to rain on your
parade, but it has been four months since the first article and I couldn't
find any sign of the second one.

I just got started in the ARM7 world myself. I bought an Olimex board from
www.sparkfun.com (a way cool place), a JTAG module, and dove in. I was
going to get a SAM7, but switched to the NXP at the last minute because the
Atmel board was out of stock. After digging thru both manufacturers'
documentation, I think I like the NXP a bit better anyway.

There's a fairly good tutorial by a fellow named James Lynch. It's called
"ARM Cross Development with Eclipse". It shows how to put together a
working toolchain for cross compiling.
