Looking for a low-cost microprocessor development kit

[Johnson L]

For my hobby, I am looking for a low-cost microprocessor development kit to
develope a simple embedded system. This system will measure the temperature
and heart beat rate, compare them with a predefined table which implements
some health-care knowledge, then provide some useful information. This
development kit should be low-cost, support C programming, debugging, better
with JTAG or other on-site debugging. It should support at least one type of
low-cost microprocessors such as ATMEL or FREESCALE, or a mainstream FPGA,
and easy to use. Could anybody recommend me some? Thank you in advance.

IMHO Arduino is what are you lookimg for.

It looks pretty good. Does it have a accompanied SDK or toolchain?

Thanks.

I also want to know, is there any low-cost development kit for DSP? I
possibly need some filter function in the software as well so I am also
thinking about DSP. Anybody can help?

Thanks.
