Hi everyone,
On my own interest I am doing ARM based projects(primarily
ARM7TDMI). Right now I am using KEIL IDE in Windows. I need to move to
Linux based environment. I donot know how to start this. I installed
Ubuntu Desktop Environment in my Laptop. Please guide me to start on
this.
Thanks

Look at this link : http://www.atmel.com/devices/SAM7X512.aspx?tab=documents for this document: "Using Open Source Tools for AT91SAM7 Cross Development" . This application note provides a guide for using open source tools such as Cygwin, GNU/GCC ARM Compiler, Eclipse IDE, Zylin CDT and OpenOCD for low-cost development of AT91SAM7 applications, and can be used for any other ARM micro (download the *.zip package marked as CD).

Hi, Thanks for replying. I read the document. It's fine with Windows. The same I need to do in UBUNTU. (viz. creating code, compiling, flashing to the target- ARM Controller, debugging). Any Suggestions?? Thanks

Yes, you may follow the same way: a) a GCC suite - try CodeSourcery Lite for Linux; b) Install Eclipse (Juno) CDT package; c) look for OpenOCD for debugging or another debugger server d) In Eclipse add this plug-in: http://gnuarm.sourceforge.net for managed make projects (this means you will not be forced to write makefiles since the plugin manage that instead of you). e) do not install Zylin since almost all is included in CDT, you will need to add only a small hardware debugger plugin - I will tell you about that tomorrow, since the link is on another computer. f) another plugin for reading internal registers - also tomorrow.
