Can we add RealView Development Suide Plug in to DS-5 ide and debug ARM cortex M devices like we did in eclipse ?_?
Hi FaintSmile,
Firstly, please accept my apologies for the delay in getting back to you on this, there were some technical issues that prevented me from logging in.
You were looking at DS-MDK, which is an Eclipse-based IDE and is a embedded development environment suitable for a subset of the NXP iMX6/i.MX7 devices.
It however, not really suitable for development on other devices such as the STM32F429. This is what I was looking into.
So I cannot recommend that as a solution for you.
Your best bet here would be to use Keil MDK toolchain. It has the full CMSIS-PACK support for your target STM32F429 but of course is not based around an Eclipse IDE.
see http://www2.keil.com/mdk5/core for more information. You could always download the MDK-Lite version and try that first (there is a simulator included so you don't need to connect to the target)
I hope that helps ?
Regards,
Stuart
thanks for clarifying your use-case. I might have a solution for you, but I need to do a bit of investigation on my side.
I don't have an STM32f429 but I do have an STM32/F0 discovery board so I'll do a bit of investigation using that.
Please bear with me and I'll get back to you.
Thanky Stuart
I was planing to make a TFT LCD application with stm32f429 launchboard and ı realized that stm32f4 series is not liested at the target settings of DS-5.Only imx6 boards cortex m4 devices and microcontroller prototyping crtex m4 devices listed in target setting.I guess that means I can not use DS-5 to develop applications on STM32F4 devices.So ı will have to use keil MDK but ı wanted to have ecliple c++ ide while developing software on stm32F4 series.
is there any other way around ı can do that ?_?
Hi,
It's recommended that MDK is used for off-the-shelf / catalog devices and DS-5 used for initial device/board bring up.
See http://www2.keil.com/armtools
So if, for example, your device is already in Si, then use MDK.
If you are putting together FPGAs, getting initial samples back, performing re-spins, performing device bring up, etc and so on then we would recommend DS-5.
I hope that clarifies things for you ?
Do not hesitate to ask if you have any further questions.
Thanky you StuartI thought ı can not use DS-5 because in the web site it says that we recommend keil mdk arm for cortex m devolopment.https://developer.arm.com/products/software-development-tools/ds-5-development-studio/solutions/microcontrollers
So Can I use DS-5 to develop software for cortex m4 devices ? or I should not use DS-5 to develoop software for cortex M4 devices ?
Why can't you use DS-5 IDE as it is to debug a Cortex-M device ?
RealView Development Suite (RVDS) is an obsolete, legacy product and is no longer maintained nor supported.
There's no need to use RVDS to debug a Cortex-M3/M4 core, just use DS-5.
