Getting started with ARM

Note: This was originally posted on 10th March 2012 at http://forums.arm.com

Hi,
i  am using ARM7TDMI processor Thumb Core, part no. AT91R40008. I selected this processor because of the light weight peripherals but with advanced functionalities suiting my purposes.
My project is a spacecrafts flight module. Can you tell me which development tool would be good to start with ??

Thanks In Advance

    Take a look at http://www.onarm.com/ website. You can search by tool vendor or by device.


    Of all options available, two seem suitable
    1.   ARM Development Suite-5
    2.   IAR Workbench for ARM 6.3

    can you suggest which one is better ??

    Hi, ARM suggest working with DVS-5 when you work with modern SOC's, ASIC's and the armv7-a architectured processors. You said your core is an ARM7tdmi which belongs to the microcontroller family and in my opinion, the best tool (and the one suggested) is Keil-MDK. I checked for you and your microntroller was available in the device selector in the ATMEL section.


    have a nice day
