Hello,
I'm absolutely a newbie for ARM. I've read many articles but couldn't get the point where to start.
ARM7,ARM9,ARM11,Cortex-M3,Cortex-A8... Which one should I start to learn? Most advanced or the basic one?
Which develepmont kit and which compiler you could advice for such a newbie? (I know only C as a programming language) Or alternatively, is an ARM simulator enough for the first steps? Which documents should I read? (a book or a document source on the internet like [url="

Kind of depends. Microcontroller is often used to mean smaller devices - such as the Cortex-M3. Larger/more complex cores which can run a full OS (e.g. Linux) are often referred to as Application Cores.
In terms of ease of use, I think it really depends on what you want out of it. If your interested in Linux app development, then using a board with a pre-existing Linux port should be relatively straight forward. On the other hand, if your interested low level embedded coding then a Cortex-M3 MCU would be better.
