With my project, I have an LPC2106 and LPC2138 on the board.  I went 
with the GNU gcc toolchain running under Linux as the developement 
platform.  Debug is done with Insight-6.1 (patched for register bug) and 
an Abatron BDI2000.  I can debug from Flash as the Insight talks with 
the BDI2000 and they seem to get on well together.

For programming, having set my config file with the binary name to be 
used, I simply open a telnet window to the BDI2000.  From there, I type 
"erase" and then "prog" to put a new program into Flash.  I then reload 
the symbols from Insight: "Run | Disconnect", "File | <most recent>", 
"Run | Connect" and start working with the new program.

The BDI2000 is pricey, compared with the wigglers, but, I don't have to 
worry about if the 0.1uf caps should be on the Wiggler lines, or if my 
wires are too long...
