All--
I've spent a lot of time in the 8-bit MCU world, doing all manner of amazing things... but need to step up to something in the 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 or M4 Range. Brand (STX, Atmel, etc) doesn't really matter so long as it has a) a compiler, b) an In System Programmer, and c) is reasonably priced with decent documentation/examples. I don't need a Dev Board, everywhere I look those are either way too expensive or sold out. I can design the schematic and PCB for what I need, that's not an issue.
I've looked all over, contacted OEMs.... but I'm still kind of at a loss as to the initial 1, 2, 3 steps for where/what so I can start working with 'bigger iron' for larger projects. For those of you who have made this leap, how did you get started with it, and what would you recommend?
