Having heard about the new Hi-Tech ARM tools I thought I'd download the demo
and try the software out. Where I used to work we used their PICC-18
compiler which worked quite well, unlike Microchip's own compiler for the
18Fxxx chips, which had so many bugs that we gave up on it.

Like all their tools, the ARM software is DOS-based with an optional Windows
IDE, rejoicing in the name of 'HI-TIDE'. They have written their own
compiler, assembler, linker etc. Unfortunately, HI-TIDE is written in Java,
which makes it rather slow and clunky. For some reason, the only sample
project which runs 'out of the box' is one for an OKI ARM chip, which is,
allegedly, very difficult to get hold of.

Has anyone else tried Hi-Tech's offering?
