I am new to arm programming but posses one arm9 mini2440 board with me. I want to start Os less programming on it.
Can someone please guide me as to how/where to start and go through the basics and implement a simple program?
Appreciate any help in this regard.
Thanks,
Swati
Hi Swati,
Keil MDK supports ARM9 - you can download MDK and use the Getting Started manual to familiarize yourself with the features of MDK.
ARM DS-5 Development Studio supports all modern ARM processors, plus classic ones like the ARM9 and ARM11. It comes with a variety of example applications, including Hello World. You can download and evaluate it with a 30-day trial from ds.arm.com/downloads or alternatively download the free DS-5 Community Edition.
However, a quick Google found this thread, which other mini2440 owners have used for sharing information about getting started with that particular board: Getting started with OS'less programming - FriendlyARM
There is also a more general forum on the manufacturer's website for OS-less programming: Forum: No OS - FriendlyARM
That should explain the basics of taking an example program, compiling it and running it on your mini2440 board. If not, then there are many other tutorials for ARM9 programming, as it is a very widely used and mature processor design.
