Well, eventually the goal is to complete a microcontroller board build for a PIC18F4550 chip which contains various I/O devices like switches, 7 segment LED displays, and a rotary encoder, and maybe hook it up to this ARM7 LPC2368 to program to do my bidding (so, potentially could end up in future amps or DACs or whatnot, kind of like amb/linuxwork's arduino thing). It can also just be standalone. The ARM is much more advanced than the PIC, especially in the interrupts, and has lots of features like PWM, I^2S and I^2C interfaces, etc, but that makes it more of a pain in the ass to program. Right now I'm trying to get it to do basic things like add with carry, push and pop data from a virtual stack, define macros, etc, but found out that modifying and stepping through the code takes a bunch of unnecessary and ridiculous steps every time. It's going to be a long night.
