We have developed a board which has an ARM Cortex-M3 micro (STM32
variant, 72MHz, up to 512KB Flash and 64KB SRAM) in the Arduino format.
You can download the Flash, boot, etc, via USB. More details and pretty
pictures at www.bugblat.com/products/cor.html
And I would be happy to answer any technical questions.

Neat! Now do a version with a LPC2148 :)

Why not ask J.C. , "How many are you going to buy ? "

Maybe because this is a LPC2000 group and the focus is NXP ARM based
MCUs and NXP MCUs are very nice as well. ;-) I know that STM32 is
very good and gain popularity now. And now they have the ST8M to
mimic the flexi concept of Freescale.
Now NXP will have the Cortex M3 based LPC17xx. So far it seems
the device are based of LPC2368 (replace the ARM7TDMI core
with Cortex M3). NXP will also announce the lower end LPC13xx
next year which is said to be based of a new core. Not so sure about
the details. It seems to me that NXP will hold on to ARM7TDMI due
to the fact that they believe that Cortex M3 does not cover the higher
end market that some of the higher end LPC2000 MCUs cover. On the
lower end, NXP will continue leveraging 8-bit 8051s.

Alright, I'll ask, how many would you be needing J.C.?
We'll make anything that makes market sense (as in: a profit).

I'd probably buy a couple. It was a semi-serious suggestion, since this
*IS* the LPC2000 group. And the Cortex is nice, but I'm still a bit more
partial to the LPC21xx and LPC24xx family. I figured a LPC2468 would be a
bit much to ask, and it'd be a shame to waste that Ethernet port on it.
Although it does have 4 serial ports, and you can NEVER have too many serial
ports.
I find the whole Arduino thing a bit puzzling. It's not like companies
(like NewMicros!) hasn't had little boards out for years that did pretty
much the same thing. The AVRs are nice parts, no doubt about it, but they
don't have any magic juju that other parts haven't had before. The Z84C15
comes to mind. So what is it about the Arduino that makes it so popular?
Right place, right time? It's certainly not because you can avoid learning
fundamental C to program them (and I would have thought/hoped Forth would
have caught sooner). And why are programs called "sketches" and
daughter-boards called "shields"?
Randy, I've got a handful of the 68HC11 Forth boards by NewMicros. I picked
a few of them up from the Microship guy, and the others from a friend of
mine in Indonesia. Great little boards! Now I just wish I could find an
open source tethered Forth for the LPC-2148...

I hate anybody that makes market incense (as in: a stink). :-)
