I would recommend that you check out www.picbook.com

I happen to have taken a class by the author of the book, and it was quite
excellent.  The book even includes sample lab assignments.

Hi,

I can assure you they do like it a lot!  ARM related companies offer
many devices for different target markets and yet, there are still
SOOOO many more 51-designs which ARM would love to get hold of, once
all these designs migrate.

Nick,

You may want to try some of the low-cost ARM based eval boards from
LogicPD or Revely.  They are based on Sharp MCU's and come with free
GCC tools with plenty of RTOS ports available for them.

learn more here:

I hope this helps!
