Good resource list.

Thanks Martin and Clifford, I have added the links.

Fixed!

Hello Andreas,

now a YAGARTO Mac OS X version for intel macs is available, this
version comes with a small installer and readme how to install.

How about this http://www.coocox.com/CooCox_Builder.htm
A free IDE for GCC Compiler.

The similarity between the project contact address and your user name on
this forum lead me to suspect that this is an attempt at self promotion,
and might be considered Spam. By all means introduce your project to the
forum (in another thread), but until it has been proven useful by the
community, I am not sure that it deserves a place here.

Moreover the product seems somewhat immature and the website's use of
English does not inspire confidence. It says: "CooCox Builder V0.1 can
only build and has not been tested completely, it only for the users who
always give attention to us". I have no idea what that comment means!?
It looks like the kind of nonsense that comes out of an automated
translator such as Babel Fish.

Hi friend,
    Maybe there is some truth about what you said, but CooCox CoBuilder
has only released its 0.1 version. It is all for free.
    I have used CooCox CoBuilder myself, it is really distinctive, its
repository is completely organized by components. Maybe it is ordinary
even not good compared with other mature IDE right now, but CooCox will
be absolutely a very useful and different set of development tools for
ARM Cortex M3.
    Just have a try, please.

By the way, you also could try its CoOS. It's open and very easy to use.

What, like the bit about this being your own product and you spamming
the forum!?  And then you did it again! You are truly shameless. Start a
different thread, ask someone to review it. Don't post it here.

I'm shocked by your response to a development tool which is completely
free. Even if you have doubts about it, it is rather rude and immature
to say things like that.

Free dose not make it a useful resource - and that is what this thread
is for.

It deserves a place in this thread when and if large numbers of
developers have used it and it has proven to be useful. Until then take
your project to a different thread for discussion; that is all I am
saying.  Note that in all this time that it has not made it to the front
page.

Also you caginess about your relationship to this project (pretending to
teh a user not the developer) does you no service.

Hi Cliff and squonk42,

You guys are right. I did some self-promotion on my own products. I am
sorry for all the inconvenience aroused. As CooCox products are
emerging, propaganda is part of what it takes to achieve mature and
well-known software. As the CooCox team is dedicated to perfecting its
products, we have faith that all the software provided is and will
become more reliable in the near future.

Thanks for your precious advice. I will take that into consideration.

Hello!
While you vanities on who what and why present this product, I just
tried it. And I must tell you that for me
he has a future in GNU Embedded community. Do not know how they do it,
but it will not manifest and there peaceful
use of MAKE for example. Get to test the software available free of
these boys and girls, and then decide what is and support him or not
endorse it!
When something new appears, it is said that it will be endorsed as such
in time. Respect the work of the people are not gods to judge them!

My objection was only with the lack of honesty and transparency, and the
use of this particular thread rather than one of its own.  Since it was
so obviously self-promotion, treating the community like fools who would
not notice or be concerned is insulting.

When something is proposed for a test and it is Free, there is nothing
offensive or stupid to bother to make it look or test! No need to argue
their opinion about who can do what in the forum or at all! If what is
presented does not cause feedback does not sound or is not impressed
anyone, and will remain unanswered!

You are entirely missing the point!  This is a permanent thread for
resources that developers have found sufficiently useful and widely used
enough to warrant bringing to the intention of other developers.  This
product does not meet these requirements - it simply belongs in another
thread; a point I have made more that once, but that Anny Lee has chosen
not to do.

Would have been better to look at the topic and to understand what you
write! Each software subject undergoes development, both in terms of
development and to its users. For some of them even stopped maintenance,
so there is no validated or insufficiently popular, and developed or
abandoned. Stop the subject of misrepresentation.
Тopic simply:
ARM-GCC development resources

Choko Boko wrote:

Yes, you should do that.  The difference is proven resources that
hundreds or even thousands of ARM developers have found useful over
time, as opposed to some work in progress currently used by perhaps a
handful of people.

If it had not been for the blatant attempt to deceive (and this treat
the community like fools), this product might warrant serious
discussion.  Start your own thread on it and I will gladly engage
constructively; but this is not the place.

I note that since its first mention here, the web-site has been improved
vastly - to the point that it is not even clear what this product is,
which was not the case previously.

Regarding independent recommendation, a user who registers just after
Anny Lee's last post and has only ever posted in support of Anny Lee to
this thread does not count, since in all likelihood, you either are Anny
Lee, or an acquaintance.  It would be interesting to hear from someone
who has been registered here since before this discussion who is using
this product.

Unfortunately, you continue to be made to an investigator and judge
people! Nobody requires you this. Would have for himself to draw
conclusions.
And what are you told people in the forum once in topic GCC saw that
advertise IAR product? Look at your top post.
Become annoying people, so let me stop this meaningless argument!

SevensAndNines.com is hosted by IAR but is nonetheless a vendor agnostic
resource.  It provides information and articles on ARM based devices
from multiple vendors and a community forum. I neither promoted IAR
products nor do I work for IAR.  The comparison with your post does not
stand up.
