For x86, I used NASM - Assembler for Intel architecture , it generated an .o file, which I compiled happily using gcc.
Now, I want to write ARM code and run it, I was told to use armsim#:
ARMSim# is a desktop application running in a Windows environment. It allows users to simulate the execution of ARM assembly language programs on a system based on the ARM7TDMI processor.
But I'm just writing code (for ARMv7) and pressing a button to load & run, I don't get to assemble (.o)/compile it (.exe for windows) manually, as I did for x86.
I assume I can't do such things on x86 because it's not the same architecture, but I happen to have a ARM processor, which is on my phone ARM Cortex-A53 and runs Linux! Android.
So I would like to copy the .s file to my phone, assembly it and compile it manually. I've been googling a little, but most the stuff I find is to emulate ARM (Android Studio, Virtual Machines) and such, which I don't want...
Hello - I would not start learning for Arm today with ARM7TDMI, this is a very old processor. Most devices today are based on Cortex branded processors. Cortex-M are deeply embedded processors
Arm has a range of development tools available. You could start with the MDK product, which includes simulators of Cortex-M processors. The Lite Edition is free of charge, and allows up to 32KB of code to be developed.
