Microcontroller: AT91SAM7A3, LPC2129 Tools: IAR/JLink, Keil/ULink Language: C/C++/VC++/VC# Hello my friends, I'm totally new to WinARM and have no experience with gcc. At my work I use commercial tools for embedded development but at home I want to start to work with WinARM. I've downloaded Winarm en put in the root directory C:, and than I don't know what to do. I saw an example of using Programmers Notepad, but it's very limited. How can I use WinARM with commercial IDE's? I would like to use WinARM with DevC++, or IAR, or Keil. But how can I do that? I really don't know what settings to change or what to include to get WinARM working on other IDE's. I'm sorry being a beginner on that part, but please help me. Thank you very much!
You can use it with Dev-C++ (which is not commercial), you need to configure an alternate compiler set in the Tools->Compiler settings (or modify the default if you will never use it to write native Windows hosted code). There is a document that describes this for an earlier version of Dev-C++, the differences are not too difficult to work around. http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/SetDevCPPArm.pdf However Dev-C++ is somewhat clunky, and buggy. It is specific issues with running on Vista. The Bloodshed forum on Sourceforge is a good place to sort out many common problems (the most common are in the "Read First" thread - you'll get flamed if you ask a question already answered there!) You might prefer to use Eclipse with CDT. There is a distribution that packages both and several other tools at http://www.easyeclipse.org/site/distributions/cplusplus.html Visual Studio can be coerced into performing custom builds by configuring the project appropriately - this even works with the free VC++ 2005 Express Edition. I came across Notepad++ recently - not really an IDE but a good Scintilla based code editor. http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm and more powerful than Programmer's Notepad. Clifford
Hello Clifford, Thank you very much for your answer. I think I'll try Dev-C++ or Notepad++ (Dev-C++ because it's opensource and Notepad++ because I use it as an editor). Other IDE's like Eclipse or Visual Studio are too heavy for my old laptop (P3). Well I'll try this week to get it work. Again, thank you very much.

In the case of Dev-C++ the source is Borland Delphi code so I am not sure if that really helps - you need a commercial tool for a language you may not be familiar with. Clifford
I also know that there is a bit of work getting codeblocks running with embedded targets using openocd. This is still early, so will probably have to get a svn snapshot. http://www.codeblocks.org/ Spen
Hello guys, Thank you for your advises, I really appreciate it. That codeblock might be a good IDE to work with as you can configure everything with it. I have IAR and Keil, but I prefer something free and opensource, so I have no license issue's.
