Hi,

For a quick start: Try Crossworks for ARM 1.3 from www.rowley.co.uk . It
comes free for 30 days, and it is really a good piece of software. With
MacGraigor wiggler or ARM JTAG from Olimex you will be able to program the
RAM, Flash… debug from both…
 
If you are from North America I suggest http://www.optimal-microsystems.com
if you ever need to get any Olimex products. 

If you want a free alternative you’ll have to get the ARM GNU tool chain
working. You can compile it from scratch or get the binaries from
http://www.gnuarm.com/. 
One of the reasons why getting the toolchain to work is simply because most
of the development environments use it internally (CrossWorks, Ashling,
Keil). Compiling and running the code is a no-brainer. In addition to the
tool chain you’ll require the FLASH Utility from Philips that is available
free from their website. 
The tricky part is when you want to debug your code using JTAG.
You need the program from MacGraigor (ocdremote). It starts the gdb proxy,
and then gdb (Insight) can attach to it (I like gdb/ddd combo better).
However, it is slow and to you can’t just debug from flash like with
CrossWorks.
Hope this helps,
m.

I'm facing a similar situation in that, before I can do much of 
*anything*, I have to buy *something* (several something's in fact). 
Not knowing much about the various products, the array of choices 
seems quite large, almost to the point of being overwhelming. 

>From reading posts in this group, it also appears that there are 
some incompatibilities that prevent an XYZ development board from 
working with a QRST adapter if you're using the ABCD development 
environment. If cost were no object, that wouldn't be a problem. On 
the other hand, I hesitate to buy things when I may later discover 
that two of the things I've bought just can't work together.

At this point, I'm still wading through datasheets, product 
brochures, postings in this group, and various other documentation 
trying to sort things out. I have to wonder if there's some minimal, 
sure-to-work-together, (reasonably) low-cost development setup to 
get started with. 


Regards, Bob
