Hi, Some Questions:

My Arm GCC for LPC21xx is not very well setup on my PC, 
and thinking of...

a) UltraEdit+GCC
Had anybody tried using UltraEdit32 as simple IDE
for GCC?   I'm thinking of buying a copy of UltraEdit32
and use it on either GCC from gnuarm.com or codesourcery.
I only need a good editor with capability of calling the
GCC Compiler+linker.   Capability of able to move you 
directly to the code line with errors once you click on the
compilation status windows (as in Ms Visual Studio) is NOT
needed. 
I'm using windows' notepad for source file editing now...

b) Visual Studio as IDE for GCC?
I've a copy of Ms Visual Studio Ver6.   Is it possible/
difficult to customise the Ms IDE for GCC??
Will only try that if somebody says is a piece of cake..

c) Windows CE .net 4.2/Platform builder
Anybody uses Windows CE .net for embedded code development??
Is WEIRD idea but this software package might have a compiler
which is able to compile anything down to embedded boot code
and etc, and it comes with a very very huge, scale-able OS....

I have used UltraEdit+GCC for LPC20xx development in the past. Not much comfort like in VS but at 
least syntax highlighting and some pretty good text editing capabilities. I now use IBM's Eclipse 
3.0 and I don't wish back to the old days of Ultra Edit. Eclipse with the CDT plugin (needed for C 
development) is a powerful yet flexible (and free!) IDE allowing easy integration of different 
compilers and other tools (like the LPC download utility). IMHO, it plays in the same league as VS 
(no flamewar if anyone disagrees, please).
There is a very good tutorial at
http://www.newmicros.com/download/appnotes/ARM/TiniARM_Dev_Eclipse.pdf (12MB file!)
describing how to setup cygwin, gcc, eclipse, boot loader - in short, everything you need to start 
developing for the LPC2000 family. Give it a try, you won't be dissapointed (except, may be, by the 
startup time of Eclipse - it's written in JAVA entirely).

HTH,
Jens

Yeah I use UltraEdit32 right now for my IDE with GCC.  Works great.  I love it.  Output window, function keys to run compiler.  Highly recommended.

Chris.

You can get a very nice free source code editor at
http://www.crimsoneditor.com/

It can be configured to call external programs such as a compiler or
linker, so you could use it as a simple IDE.

Hope this helps.

Visual Studio is not to hard to use but you have to maintain the 
makefile yourself - external makefile.
Eclipse is ok but a huge download and a bit of an overkill.
Could look at Dev-Cpp http://www.bloodshed.net - small and simple.

[Suggestions snipped]

I would suggest using Dev-C++. This comes setup to work with mingw,
and there is a howto available to set it up to work with arm-elf-gcc.

Just use Insight for debugging

I use the Signum Systems JetJTAG, and their Chameleon software.  They had to fix a bunch of bugs and support for the LPC2000 cpus, but they finally got it working.  Works great.  Very happy with it.  Their debugging software Chameleon is very good.
