Lpc2000

Guys,

Any advice on who is best in the market for the development tools for 
LPC2000 with Emulators in terms of price and performace adn ofcourse 
support.

Rgds,
Ken

Hi Ken,

first question, where are you located?
Assuming in the USA:
Look at Nohau for Emulators first 
if Europe I would look at Hitex and Ashling more closely (timezones do
matter!)
Keil and IAR offer JTAG emulators that work with their debuggers. Can
be purchased from Philips or www.LPCtools.com evlaution board with
JTAG hardware for $299 for a testdrive. Hardware is fully functional,
compiler and debuggers are code size limited. 
There is ARM with their RVDK (Real View Devloper Kit) works OK with
the LPC but still needs improvement dedicated support from ARM.
At this point in time you might not want to use Greenhills although it
is a good compiler. No support for programming the Flash through the
debugger :-(
If cost is more important than small code, have a look at Rowleys package.

You can find these and more at the Philips website:
sorry for the long URL:
http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/markets/mms/products/microcontrollers/support/development_tools/tools_by_family/


btw. the easiest and fastest start are the two evaluation kits from
Philips in cooperation with IAR (LPC2104/05/06) and Keil (64-pin
devices). 

Cheers, Bob

I'm using ARM ADS1.2 as compiler, linker and IDE. Lauterbach Trace32 
for debugging. The Lauterbach support is very well. FLASH programming 
with checksumm calculation is supported with the debuggers script 
language.

This combination works very well, one of the best i have ever seen. 
But the price ....

Hi

After trying almost all the development tools I chose Keil and
the Olimex boards.

Keil is powerfull and simple to use. 

The Olimex boards are very well priced and with all the
features I need.

Just my opinion

I just strated with ARM, which makes me no reference, but so far I have 
good experience with KEIL (using x51 tools for many years now). Support 
is excellent, pricing is good. I will go for DK-ARM just after gain some 
experience with GCC.

We have had a lot of success with the Ashling tools. Philips worked
with Ashling to write the debugger for the LPC2xxx chip as it was
developed, the Ashling tools support nice features like background
debugging, where   main() can be debugged while the ISR is still
running in the background collecting data. 

The Ashling debugging tools also support the "virtual console"
concept, whereby RS232 iprintf() commands are displayed via the JTAG
debugging interface, in a console window. No need for serial cables.

Ashling is also GNU based, unlike IAR C, which means that you can use
nice operating systems like eCos.

Maybe Embest tools is a good choose. Embest IDE package includes IDE, 
integrated GCC, debugger, project manager, flash programming tools  
and Jtag Emulator. The whole package is $500 including shipping 
charges. Embest IDE provides GUI similar to MS Visual Studio. It's  
really a powerful, easy to use and low cost tool for better 
performance. You can view Embest IDE at:

http://www.embedinfo.com/English/Product/idemain.asp

Many users of LPC2000 series want to download their codes to the on-
chip flash of LPC2000 processor via jtag port. There are few tools 
can do this. But Embest Flash Programmer can do this. Please see 
detail at:
