Best development tool for NXP Cortex
in [Embedded]
|
From: Stefano on 9 Apr 2010 04:37 I am approaching to the ARM world and I develop applications for Cortex M3 LPC17xx and in the future also LPC11xx M0 . I have to develop in C with the libraries support. I'm evaluating development tools to use and would like some advice from those already developed in this field, considering that my application would probably exceed 32K and not want to risk it. I tried the evaluation version of Keil UVisions 4 where I configured the CodeSourcery GNU compiler, but I read that debugging is limited to 32K, can you confirm me this information ?. I also tried LPCXpresso limited to 128K with the possibility of moving to 256k with low cost, but the libraries seem too basic and not complete for all peripherals. What made the libraries better? I saw that most of the examples are for Keil. So, I want opinion from those already use these processors, to be used as development tools at no additional cost and if so, what to buy at low cost. Thanks

Their free trial is time, not size, limited. A personal (HOBBY) license is $150. A commercial (you're selling what you make) license is $1500, and would be a bargain at twice the price. --Gene

Not > everyone is made of money you know! A lot of licenses have the "FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE" clause, including commercial ones. Do you know any compiler that doesn't have this clause, that isn't certified? -- Gemaakt met Opera's revolutionaire e-mailprogramma: http://www.opera.com/mail/ (remove the obvious prefix to reply by mail)
