Yes - you can download all the source files.

The FreeRTOS.org download includes pre-configured projects for the
LPC2368
both CrossWorks and Eclipse. Converting to LPC2378 is probably a quick task
(I would think).

IMPORTANT NOTE: The demos as are seem to work on some LPC2368 devices, and
not others. I have been told today that the MAM mode has to be set to 0 to
get it reliably working on all hardware.

Note that a special feature of the Keil eval version is that the 16K limit
covers both the ROM and RAM *combined* image size. This means it is very
limited in its use.

I think Keil is the only option for ULINK2.

Yagarto has its own linker.
