This is very old, I recommend not to use it if possible.

Are you sure? I have just started the 3.11 eval-version and the path and
prefix-setting is still there. I have only tried with the
"arm-glue"-package available from my web-pages. As far as I know the
parameters used by uvision to call the gnu tools only work for their
special package.

IRC a newer version of a CDC code from Atmel is available in the
software-package softpack-1.3-at91sam7s-ek-web.zip, search at91/software
at atmel.com. There seems to be a gcc-version included. I have not
tested this so far.

Yes, the old code is a little strange in this. I don't know if it has
been modified in the new code. Try the newer code from the 1.3 softpack
first.

I have done some porting of the old Atmel CDC-code which is available
from my web-pages but I suggest to try the new Atmel code first. I
expect Atmel provides a "gcc-compatible" version now.

I do not understand this either. Did you try with the Codesourcery G++
lite package? Maybe it's supported "out of the box" by uvision since
Keil is an ARM company and ARM pays Codesourcery to improve the GNU
tools for ARM AKAIK.

I did not know that the simulator can already simulate USB. But yes, the
simulator is the best thing in uvision. But you can always debug in real
hardware with a JTAG-interface either with the uvision-Eval and it's
supported interfaces or with a reather cheap or free solution like NoICE
or Eclipse+OpenOCD
Anyway I expect a better place to ask about all this is the Keil
support-forum.
