Olimex has a range of ARM boards and a parallel-port JTAG interface. I
sell some of these products.

For our classes we made a canned C/asm development environment based on
pspad and gcc, see  http://et.fnt.hvu.nl/et/docenten/Bent/arm/ARMDevEnv.
exe. With the JTAG interface it provides in-circuit debugging, or it can
be used with the build-in simulator or with a serial interface and the
Philips flash tool. I will probably add C++ support soon.

There is a lot of other free software around.

One group at our school is trying to a get an existing mpeg player
implementation to work on the LPC.
