Building this on a linux box
----------------------------

Unfortunately the build support for the LPC11U24 is a bit of a mess at the
moment.  Gcc can support cortex-m0 well but there are required libs and such
which are cominig from a mix of other projects.

Adam Green (no relation) has cooked a script called gcc4mbed which will pull
in a toolchain from Ubuntu (works on Fedora) and other necessary libs.

0) create a dir to hold the toolchain, enter the dir

1) wget -O gcc4mbed.zip https://github.com/adamgreen/gcc4mbed/zipball/master

2) unzip gcc4mbed.zip

3) cd adamgreen-gcc4mbed-098e138 (or whatever it is in your copy)

4) ./inux-install

5) edit ~/.bash_profile to add the toolchain path mentioned at the end of the
install script to your $PATH

6) open a new terminal, check your $PATH has the new entry

7) Notice this script pulls 32-bit x86 binaries, you may need to add i686 or
whatever versions of zlib etc packages to get it working on x86_64 box.

Instead of relying on mbed I have copied / adapted the necessary pieces into
this project, so th only thing you need is the toolchain.

I enquired about some of the NXP sample code I incorporate here

http://www.lpcware.com/content/forum/license-sample-code

but did not get a response.  So some of the pieces are under a funny license
where they are freely availabe sample code intended to be incorporated into
customer code, but are "All Rights Reserved".  The novel work in this project
is licensed under LGPL2.
