I tried the GNU tools and gave up.  Look great if you are working from
Linux.

From Windows, you must install Cygwin.  Gnuarm needn't be in that directory,
but if not, you need to mount the drive, etc.  

I used MicroCross shell around GNU, hoping to simplify operation.  

The book "Embedded System Design on a Shoestring" will walk you through gnu
tools for windows.

In the end, I switched to IAR.  Tools are very stable.  Code is very tight
(30% smaller than Keil with the same optimization).  While IAR has its own
set of quirks, I am happier with them than gnu (free), MicroCross or Keil,
all of which I have tried.  At least with IAR I am building solutions
instead of fighting tools.

Subject: [lpc2000] [Q] GNU-Tool Chain on W2K, a simple example HowTo use it


Hi all,

after downloading the latest release from www.gnuarm.org I am
actually not shure howto proceed in order to get my first
"Hello World" program running on the Olimex board having the
LPC2106 mounted on it.

I did:

- Update the bootloader to the Version V1.52
- Erased the LED-Blink program, that has been shipped from olimex
- Installed Cygwin
- Installed GNUARM Toolchain

And now, I am a little desperate. I did NOT install the gnuarm
tool chain within the cygwin directory on W2K. Is this a problem?

I think I just followed the assumptions from the installer itself.
I did not install the dll from the installer, since I did update
it through www.cygwin.com.

Is there an IDE to use like Eclipse, or is there the cmd line to
use in order to write a C-program for the LPC2106 and download
it through download utility from philips?

I need some link in order to see what is needed
to successfully compile, link and download my first
"hello world" using the toolchain above.

Thanks
Markus
