LPC vs Stellaris micro

Im just "researching" and I would like to know your opinion.

Which microcontroller do you prefer? Stellaris from TI or LPC from NXP? Other? Why?


I didn't use any. Altougth TI seems better for me because: more evaluation kits, TI licensed ARM technology longer ago than NXP (which may not mean nothing once Luminary Micro was bought by TI), TI seems to have better tools and support in general.

I didn't refer the price because I think they are "very much the same". Not exactly, but...

See:

LM3S811 kit - http://br.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Texas-Instruments/EKK-LM3S811/?qs=vnwGVgFuQiZCpetq9v8O5g==

What do you think?
 

I'm also looking into buying a stellaris development kit. I want to move from PICs. Are there free toolchains for these MCU's?

Hi, there are all kind of tools for these MCUs as long as you do not expect hardware to come for free.
Have a look at these tools on the LPC2000 website, pretty much all of them also apply to Stellaris.

A couple more terms for Google:
GNUARM, Yagarto, J-Link EDU,

Depending on your needs you should compare the Stellaris to the LPC1000 families and to the STM32 families.
You can find lots of articles to these different families here:

ARM and AVR are RISC. It would be a good one.
 

Hi

Both Stellaris and LPC1xxx are equipped with Cortex M3

I can advice you to work with STM32 (also Cortex M3 ) because he have more application note and you can find more project and source code on the net

And this is a good step to start with


All the best

Both LPC 1XXX and Stellaris are good..

You should compare these two on the basis of requirements and application you want to develop with that.

Some other things should be considered like the technical resources and technical support for the development should be better.
