( ie write the smalll nongui app in lazarus , compile it , Update the board using flashmagic ( or the command prompt utility ) and debug via gdb using a UNLINK2 usb debugging kit. )..

( if it allready does this i would love to know what type of project to select when selecting NEW.. & how to set the subarch setting for the ARM Family.)I only ask as i want to be able to write my own app in lazarus and debug it there too.. i am not sure how i would debug otherwiseKind RegardsJustin   

AFAIK the IDE code tools work for the embedded/arm platform. That means
you can work under Linux/Windows/..., set the project's target OS to
embedded and target CPU to arm and all code tools work with the
RTL of this target. If not, then please create a bug report.
You have to add the -Wplpc1343 -Cparmv7min to the project's custom
options.
Maybe others can give some hints about debugging.
