[sdiy] Freescale announces a new ARM Product based upon Cortex A5 and Cortex M4

[Bruce Duncan]

I'd love to try some ARM projects but I don't want to drop 3-5Gs on 
software to do it and the "lite" version compiler/IDEs are not
adequate for audio projects especially ones using wavetables etc. 
Without getting into Linux are there any other ways to get into ARM?
How about a synth DIY version of CodeWarrior? The restriction is it has 
to be used to make synths :)
Microchip PIC32 tool-chain is much more in-line with synth level economics.
ARM development tools seem to be aimed at big companies with unlimited 
R&D budgets unless of course you have unlimited time for Linux.
