Hello, I'm rather new with ARM7 and I'm reading and learning all I can 
before putting my hands on it..

I looked at the different pre-compiled versions of GNU tools (for 
Windows) and now I'm looking at the Embest IDE demo version, because 
there are not much restriction on it (only on debugger tools choice) 
and I think it could be a smarter way to begin..

so does anyone here already tried it and what are your opinion on it..?
it seems that there are some documentations still in Chinese version..

Thanks..
Fred

A lot of people like Eclipse which has no restrictions.

Personally I have not bothered looking at Embest. I know some people 
like a single IDE but I typically don't.

I use gcc, various editors (including source navigator if I want a 
browser), and various gdb-based editors.Sometimes I will use just a 
command-line gdb and sometimes insight or ddd. I find I will use a 
different debugger for different problems. That is probably the main 
reason I don't like single bundled IDEs.

The tools you use are very much a personal choice. There is very 
seldom something that is truely "best".

Thanks for your reply..
can you tell me if in the different software you use, there is one 
capable to simulate the ARM.. does Insight/GDB can do this, or is it 
only for debug with a JTAG interface..?
because I don't have the hardware part yet and it could be good if I 
can made some simple try before..
that's partly why I was looking on EmbestIDE.
Thanks..

gdb has a similatr built in, but I have never used it myself.

$arm-elf-gdb
(gdb) target sim
...
