Hi 

I have also seen that Hitech have a ARM compiler and an IDE.
I have downloaded the compiler and read some of the manual and sent
them som questions !

Here they are
I have downloaded the ARM Evaluation C compiler.
1)Is is possible to use JTAG debug with the compiler together with ex.
Philips LPC2104 ?
2)I can not find anything about JTAG in the USER Manual ??

3)Is the compiler based on GNU or is it your own work ?

The answers from HItech

1) I am not 100% about the JTAG for Philips LPC2104. Hi-Tide uses 
Seehau ARM
debugger to debug the chips. I believe they do, but you might want to 
contact them
directly to confirm.

2) The manual does not mention debugger for the reason that it is a 
third party
tool. You should be able to find some info on it in "getting started" 
guide.

3) The compiler is our own work. You should find it fairly easy to 
use if you have
worked with gcc in the past, as both of them are ANSI C compliant and 
quite a few
compiler options in our compilers mirror those found in gcc.

I am self considering  compiler and IDE. I think I will go for IAR or
Rowley
