Hi
I've started porting a project from an 8 bit AVR to an ARM Cortex M3 MCU. I'm reasonably comfy with AVR, but I'm new to ARM Cortex.
I found an NXP part that looked great, price and feature wise. I purchased an inexpensive LPCXpresso dev kit. However, the drivers and example code is simply awful. Buggy and poorly written, so development is more like reverse engineering than making actual progress. I should be coding the "business logic" by now, but I'm still fiddling with setup. There is nothing "xpresso" about developing on this kit. Maybe it refers to the amount of coffee you have to drink, I'm putting in a lot of long nights here.
I can find suitable parts for this project from Luminary/TI, ST, NXP or Atmel so I'm not locked into any vendor in particular.
I was hoping someone could offer an advice on which manufacturer provide the best dev kits? With well documented, well commented example code and drivers? Cost is not an issue (within reason).
