gcc can compile arm-code, and the distreibution packages include an 
assembler. Look for gnu-arm, WinARM, yagarto, etc.
Simulation is possible with gdb (newer versions), but it does only 
simulate the basic processor, no hardware components.

For a "real" simulation you have to use a real processor and a JTAG 
interface.

I would disagree. Look for qemu, which can simulate Arm, and also a 
complete system (LCD, HD, Keyboard, Mouse) capable of running even an OS 
like Linux.
