ULINK2 and GCC compiler

I am planning to buy a ULINK2, but not sure if it can debug the program which is compiled by GCC compiler not RealView. Can anyone give me a help please?

Thank you very much!!

  • uLink is just an interface between the processor's JTAG test-access port and the PC's USB port - it is not a debugger.

    uVision includes a debugger that is compatible with the uLink interface.

    AFAIK, the interface between the PC and uLink is "closed" and proprietary to Keil - so you are highly unlikely to get it to work with any non-Keil debugger.

    There is vast amounts of discussion all over the internet about trying to get various different JTAG adaptors to work with various different open-source debuggers (including GDB) - spend a few hours googling, and then judge whether it actually makes the full Keil licence cost look more attractive...
