Map editor: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Vista/7336/robmpy.htm
Sprite editor: Anything that supports 256 colors and palletes (or just converting)
Compiler: ARM SDT 2.50 evaluation or Devkit Advance.

IAR Systems ARM compiler is good too... According to some tests it can produce more compact code than ARM SDT.

GCC (devkit advance) is far worse than both IAR and ARM SDT. But, it's free.

You buy the IAR compiler from IAR Systems.
Most ppl use GCC

Read some FAQ's regarding sprites.
