Cortex m-3 development kits

[Pompidom]

This is just a long shot. And I'm sorry I have to invade this forum with a question like this. But I have to start somewhere. On a sidenote I've been following the development of the Pandora for 2 years now I believe? Anywayz, here goes.

My friend is making his Final year project and is currently using this limited "Lite" version. Which doesn't allow him to exceed 32kb.


He's on a real tight budget these days and we were wondering if anyone has any experience if there are any development kits out there that are better/free/cheaper/... Any advice would be most welcome and really appreciated.


The program needs to be compatible with the Atmel Cortex m-3 AT91SAM....
