Development tools for ARM7

Hi,
I'm been thinking to start to play with an arm processor for a while, but I'm not sure how much it will cost to setup some kind of basic evaluation kit.

What tools do I need and where can I get it, preferably free tools if there are any? IDE, assembler, compiler, simulator, debugger (in-circuit), tools to program the processor, etc.

If someone has experience from some nice tool let me know.

/Thanks
 
Compiler is opensource (gnu arm-gcc), for IDE you can use Eclipse (open source).
So I guess you can start with basic evaluation board (or even make one yourself) and that's it.
 
Jim Lynch has an excellent tutorial for setting up ARM gcc and Eclipse under windoz. You can find the link to it on this page:
https://www.olimex.com/dev/index.html
You have to click on ARM in the nav bar, then ARM-JTAG, to find the link
You might also want to check on the Keil web site, as they offer a good demo of their tool chain, which is easy to use, and it allows you up to 32k of program, or something like that.

There is an ARM forum on SparkFun:

and there is a good LPC2000 group in Yahoo groups.
