Which IDE to use with WinARM?

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.

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.
