I don't have many spare cycles, but my first job at Apple was to bring up
the Dylan system on the Newton. I found the ARM chip to be a lot of fun.
What development system are you planning on using? [I believe that ARM
ltd has a development board but have not checked].
Anyway, keep me up to date on your plans & progress.
Cheers,
