As you are new to all this, I double the recommendation to choose a CM3
eval board. IAR offers Kick(Quick ?)Start kits complete with JTAG box and
IDE (editor,compiler,debugger). Also the Stellaris boards from TI
(formerly Luminary) work nicely together with IAR.
For a starter I would not go for GNU unless you have already experience
with it on other plattforms.
If you are completely new to embedded: Embedded programming is _not_ like
desktop programming !!! Everything is limited: Flash,RAM, speed. But
it's
much more fun :-)

Totally agree. I am also new to ARM and i recently bought an STM32
Primer2, a Cortex-M3 funny learning toy. It is very nice. It has SD
card, a USB port ( plus e secondary USB port for programming and
debugging ), an ACCELERATOR, a TFT LCD ( 128 x 128 ) with touch screen,
an extension connector for connecting to other boards( like homemade ).
Furthermore, the software limitations is just for debugging which is
32K, the rest is free, no limitation. It costed me 57 Euro plus 15 Euro
for shipment.
But if you insist on starting with LPC then Olimex has very nice kits
and programmers with reasonable price. I will buy one from Olimex in the
near year( just have to wait for 1 year, that is all :) )

If it's for non-commercial work have you looked at Segger's J-Link for ARM? It's ~$150 for the non-commercial version and supports both JTAG (ARM7/ARM9) as well as the new SWD/SWO required for Cortex M0/M3 (though some larger chips like the LPC1700s support a dual SWD/JTAG interface).
It has a big advantage in that it works in all the main IDEs (IAR, Keil and Rowley's always well-recommended Crossworks). I picked one up since I needed SWD support, and have been quite happy with it in both Crossworks and using Keil uVision with the LPC1100/1300's.

H-JTAG
http://www.hjtag.com/product_intro.html
I own now called "standard" version.
Good price.
supports different compiler IDE.
used 6 months and not a one bad word.
Ok there was 1 problem with STM32 but this was my own bug(no boot pin pullup).
After using USB I got working some boards witch had ADC DMA lock problem.
5 + point for male connector on programmer panel because I use custom (reduced pin count and size)connectors and programming cables.That way I can switch programming cables. As far I have seen most other programmers have internal connector on programming cable soldered directly to programmer board. Try then make adapter.
Before I used LPT port, it worked fine except download speed(~7k/s).
parts cost say 2$?
GCC is good, why you need IDE.
You can use KEIL+GCC (not that old version GCC what they offer for download with keil).
I used WINARM for STM32, after working with LPC2478 and latest CodeSourcery I discovered(forgot to change compiler ) that it works also for STM32. If you like you can email me, I can send tons of examples for STM32. Also I can help set up keil+GCC(skype,msn,..).
Actually it dose not matter witch compiler you use, most important is editor. If you use keil you can attach different programs to run before and after compiler. For example I use binary to C constant, Hex file to C constant or after compile execute bootloader and download code.

If you only want to learn by playing and 32k is enough the IAR Kickstart edition
is free and allows basic downloading and debugging through the Olimex wiggler
clone (which only costs around 20). If you want to go more upmarket, then the
Segger J-Link adapter is available for non-commercial use at

Has anyone used j-link with gcc/gdb compiler and debugger? And what ide?
I ma interested in LPC17xx LPC13xx and LPC21xx families of microcontrollers.

Crossworks will work with all of those families, and is both GCC-based and supports the Segger J-Link.

I messed around with Eclipse and had a hard time. There is just too much
to learn and too many obstacles to overcome. I bought a personal license
to the Rowley Crossworks and I definitely do not regret it. No make
files to deal with and a rather rapid learning curve for the IDE.
I also bought a BlueBoard along with the NGX-USB-JTAG from them. I had
trouble with it but I run linux. I bought the Rowley CrossConnect JTAG
and it works fine. And it is nice to be able to step through the code
and watch it work. Teaches you a lot about the inner workings of the chip.
Cost of the above is $350 US as a bundle.

Hi,
as Kevin mentioned, CrossWorks is a nice package that does work with J-Link or with Cross-Link. Don't know whether the full support for the newer Cortex-M3 devices is fully implemented using JLink together with CrossWorks. If you want to use latest / newest devices (e.g. LPC1700 and LPC1300) you might only find full support implemented in the full versions of IAR and Keil. In this case the question which JTAG hardware really becomes secondary because the price for the software is much significant.
If you have very little money but lots of time and some know-how, have a look at YAGARTO http://www.yagarto.de an Eclipse based environment that works reasonably well with JLink.
