Hi, I'm from Brazil and i starting to study de ARM processor. How is the best IDE to ARM development? How is the best (more apropriated) chip to start my study? Thaks -- André "Away" Rairan. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Maybe not 'best' but 'free' is good so check out the tutorial here http://www.olimex.com/dev/pdf/ARM%20Cross%20Development%20with% 20Eclipse%20version%203.pdf There are problems with the JTAG debugging but it does work, sort of. I didn't have enough pins left to support JTAG so I really don't care if the free OCD Remote works, or not. > How is the best (more apropriated) chip to start my study? If you don't have specific project goals and you don't need A/D then the LPC2106 is pretty nice. I like the Olimex boards so check out www.sparkfun.com and consider any of these Development Boards -> LPC http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/categories.php? cPath=2_25&osCsid=b9ddaec7d2d3f39653583caf3ef98a8a Specifically, I am using the LPC2106 Prototyping Board and it works pretty well http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php? products_id=269&osCsid=b9ddaec7d2d3f39653583caf3ef98a8a You do not need to buy the JTAG interface if you don't plan to use it for debugging. The built in serial ISP works very well and uses the RS232 port. So, for the LPC2106, $60 plus shipping. Pretty reasonable for a 32 bit chip with 128k flash and 64k ram. Richard

Thanks for reply! Have you used the KEIL or IAR compiler?

Nope, as indicated in the tutorial, GNU C and the rest of the tool chain is free. This would be the same GNU C I use on Linux, the gumstix (Linux on XScale), Atmel AVRs and the LPC2106. Opinions vary but I really like the Eclipse IDE. I like their concept of projects and I like the way they are organized. I also like the fact that the required tools are completely integrated. And it's free! I really can't spend money on development tools for what is just a hobby. Richard

Hi, tested Keil, IAR and Rowleys. Keil, is easiest to use, followed by Rowleys, then IAR. Keil has the best simulator. IAR seems a little more stable and once you are familiar with the linker files, handling is OK. Rowley is easy to use but for the programs we tested (mostly in Thumb mode) both IAR and Keil generated quite a bit smaller code. When compiling for speed in ARM mode, IAR was the best of these 3, Keil and Rowleys similar with Keil having a little smaller code. All 3 compilers can be recommended as professional tools with good debugging support. In regards to which device you should start with, I would recommend the LPC2148 unless you need more than 512k code.

If you want starter kits in Brazil, take a look at Elasys, I am working right now with a development kit with LPC2106. In my opinion, they have very good prices. Anacom have other kits with LPC2106, but a little more expensive. Elasys and Anacom are in São Paulo. Here in Curitiba, eSysTech works with starter kits for ARM, but only Atmel chips. But is another good choice too. Em Qui 29 Dez 2005 21:24, André "Away" Rairan. escreveu:
