Hello,
As a newbie in this field, I’ve had a hard time trying to integrate the GNU tools, the IDE, the programmer/debugger, device prototyping, and the software part (CMSIS for example)…
So I’ve shared some notes about getting started with all of these tools here :

I’ve put a template C project for GNU/Eclipse/CMSIS for LPC17xx.
Hope this will help beginners.
Have fun.
Nicolas.
