Graynomad:
So far we're talking about maybe 3-5 CPUs, does anybody know if the peripherals are the same? Or does that mean 3-5 separate cores?
IME peripherals are only identical within CPU families, e.g. LPC13xx, and may be similar or just quite different between families, so LPC11xx has some completely different peripherals to LPC13xx. e.g. the gpio block is a lot simpler. I haven't looked in detail across the range.
So it might be difficult to create a common library. I still think it is useful to have a single "LPC support package" though. Perhaps the point of commonality is the Arduino API, so at least users can move from one LPC to another with relative ease.
I'd be happy to set up and coordinate github activity. I think I will set up my own repo anyway and anyone can fork it as they wish, and I'd be quite happy to give people access.
Git has a lot of "advanced" features, more than I can fully understand, so I tend to use 2 or 3 basic operations and keep it simple. Github also has some great features which are quite easy to use, like the issue tracker.
I would like to set up a framework for other LPCs, and write some Arduino libs for the ones I have. Microbuilder have some good code, I think that could be a good starting point.
