That's not exactly what I said nor what I believe in, but I doubt it matters much...
I just love the new name.

Yes, that's quite an amazing bird, good choice.

Does this development board look like it could also be a target?
http://cgi.ebay.com/Samsung-S3C2440-ARM9-Board-3-5-TFT-LCD-Touch-Screen_W0QQitemZ220354907595QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item220354907595&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A0|293%3A1|294%3A50
Lots of them listed for under $100 US.
Looks like it has the required d/a, usb, and lcd already there. Touch screen could be used instead of buttons for UI.

We already discussed that Samsung S3C2440. Read more on other messages of this post.
Right now we are with Atmel AT91SAM9260 and it's almost done, like 95% is done ;-)

That's a great board, but you will need to look into the price on the tools. Atmel, the board in which casainho has, does have a free tool chain. Most boards have fair priced tools and some are very high price. Your project will reflect the price of the tools, but it does come with Linux installed or a limited windows package to install. The installed package isn't any use for programming a chip, unless you found a way. I found boards that some come with free tools, but they're limited tools. Good luck with your project and please inform us with your progress, it's a pleasure to here from you.

I believe the compiler is the same, the GCC ARM. I did prefer Atmel because of great documentation and example codes, and that's being proving valuable!! :-) -- this was my first time with ARM, with 32 bits, with DMA, C startup file, linker script, JTAG debug, colour LCD, SD Card, audio DAC, etc.
