Information about the NXP LPC1000, STM32, Luminary Stellaris Cortex-M3 based microcontrollers

Training for Cortex-M Several companies using the Cortex-M3 core such as ST, NXP, Luminary and Toshiba will be able to offer 1-day training sessions in cooporation with the training company Doulos. These one day training events will be low cost but highly informative, not just marketing events. For more information send an e-mail to training@mcu-related.com NEW updated Mar. '09
Cortex-M0 During the Embedded World in Nuremberg, ARM announced the smallest, lowest power... microcontroller core ever created by ARM, the CortexM0. The press release. NXP signed up as a licensee in the early stages, other companies such as Luminary (now TI) or ST Microelectronics, early adopters of the Cortex-M3 don't consider it worth the money of a new license to save a small fraction of the overall die size. NEW updated Mar '09
LPC1700, LPC1300 and LPC1100 Running at up to 120 MHz makes the LPC1700 the highest performing Cortex-M3 family on the market. The devices are pin compatible to the LPC236x series, making a transition fast and easy! The LPC1300 family fills the gap to the LPC1100 which in turns targets new applications that would otherwise use 8-bit devices.  NEW Feb '10

STM32 MCUs of the STM32 family are the fastest widely available Cortex-M3 based devices today. They run at 72 MHz from an internal flash with a wide memory bus. There are 3 lines of pin compatible microcontrollers called low / medium and high density. They are called STM32F101xx, STM32F102xx, STM32F103xx. The latest families are the STM32F105 and STM32F107 connectivity lines.
The STM32 forum on the ST website handles many STM32 related questions.  A wonderful resource for all STM32 users is the STM32circle website.
Primer2 for STM32
There is a particularly nice gadget for the STM32, called Primer2. If comes with a 32 KB code size restricted version of Raisonance tool suite and has the USB to JTAG converter already build in. More information  
Luminary TI Stellaris Luminary was the pioneer that introduced the Cortex-M3 microcontrollers. The company was acquired by Texas Instrument (TI). Luminary offers the widest variety of M3 devices and are about to sell new 100 MHz devices.
