I have many years of experience with the Motorola/Freescale 8 bits line of microcontrollers and C language. The Metrowerks compilers have been for me a reliable solution for many years now, with a great compiler and a good programming / debugging tool.
I need to get started with 32 bit architectures but I am a complete newbie to the 32 bit ARM family of microcontrollers and I want to just jump to a different manufacturer. I find NXP's ARM very interesting and the Keil evaluation board appears to be a very nice product.
I would like to start with the lpc2368 processor and the MCB2300 Evaluation Board from Keil. It seems to me that a evry good compiler ( as I heard - no experience with it ), a FLASH programming tool and a debugger comes in the box.
Dear friends, my questions are mainly oriented at the development tools:
1. Are there any license or code size limitations for the generated code ? 2. Has the MCB2300 a full featured C ( not C++ ) compiler ? 3. The kit is enough to get started or I would have to buy extra parts, cables, software, etc ?
You oppinios are very valuable for me. I am sorry for such simple questions.
Kind regards
Roberto
