Hi 
 
I am using a low price toolchain for chips based on ARM. It include IDE, Emulator, and emulator board. you can view their website www.embedinfo.com.  
The price of their tools I think is the cheapest of the world, but the ability of them are good. Maybe you can find what you want.

Hi,

Here is my situation:

I have currently developed (and am selling) a number of intelligent 
IO cards for model railroad control. The modules are based on 
ATMega8 (which I love). All modules are linked up to a RS485 network 
(up to 127) and talk to a PC (486@66MHz) running DOS. Yes, you read 
well, DOS! This is because the program to control the railroad 
(collision prevention, acceleration/decelleration of trains) must 
run in real-time.

Next step is to develop a small controller to which I will port the 
DOS application (about 15.000 lines of PASCAL code). For this 
project I am very interested in using the LPC2106.

Since my controller will be manufactured in limited series 
(batches of 10 or 20), and since I am a one man company, I am 
looking for a low cost tool chain to develop, simulate, debug my 
application. Preferrably I would like to have no code size limit as 
in most starter kits (e.g. Hitex). Also I am using a Windows PC as a 
host system 
(Multi edit editor, GCC or Imagecraft ARM compiler when it will be 
available).

One idea could be to buy a code size limited starter kit to test and 
debug the hardware abstraction layer (uart driver, comm protocol) 
for my application. The moment that is working, I could use the free 
Borland C/C++ compiler to write, test and debug the functionality of 
my application on PC (in a virtual environment). If all is right, 
then I could compile the complete application for the ARM and test 
it using classic debug techniques (control a led, send debug 
messages over the uart). Of course this is productive than an 
emulator but perhaps it could work.

Can anyone give me some good advice please?

Kind regards,

Rudy
