Can any please say what simulation software to use for making projects in ARM7 NXP LPC2148
You're on Keil's own site - so this is not the place to get details of competitors!
You can, of course, find details of Keil's products by looking on the Produncts page.
I guess I could not make myself clear.Sorry for that.Actually to be specific I wanted to know which development tool I should use. I have gone through the products page but m confused. Actually I am a newcomer so having some very petty problems. Can you please suggest which development tools to use? If possible please attach the link of the page containing the tool download option and its details.
See the Download tab above, follow that www.keil.com/.../arm.htm
Old parts with need legacy support http://www.keil.com/mdk5/legacy

Some stuff probably isn't simulated well/completely at this point, buy real hardware and use a debugger, it is cheaper.
Keil can also be purchased via DigiKey and Mouser
Do you have any prior experience with programming in general?
Do you have any prior experience with microcontrollers in general?
Why are you starting with such an old part?
The LPC2148 is "Not Recommended for New Designs" (NRND) by NXP:

Perhaps start with something more up-to-date:

Cheaper for modern hardware - low-cost dev boards with built-in debug are readily abailable.
But for old-school stuff like LPC2148 that's less likely; would probably have to fork-out for a separate debugger - at (possibly significantly) more money than a modern board with integral debug.
