Questions:1) Is there a book or tutorial I can get to show me how to get started? From what I understand, I need a copy of ADS to compile code. Once the code is compiled, how do I transfer the binaries into the ARM device / write it into the NOR flash of the FriendlyArm devices? With the friendlyarm, I compiled a Windows CE NK.bin image which I loaded using their supplied DNS.exe program. Can I compile the ARM programs somehow with Visual Studio 2008?The friendlyarm devices included a Parallel port JTAG. Is this JTAG supported in the ARM development tools or do I need to purchase another one?A:Try google, you can find tons of doc to learn. After build , your need JTAG flash tools to program flash. To make it run in 2440, you may have to use a bootloader for scatter loading ( sandstone??? from Sumsang)VS2008 is just an IDE. Of course, you can configure it to support other compilers.JTAG is hw in-circuit interface debug ARM. Of course you can make it supported if you install the right driver in PC. Go find one.If you want a better one, JLink is a good choice.2) How is SDRAM memory addressed in the ARM? Can I just write it in C and declare a large 2MB array and address it with C style pointers?A:SDRAM needs init/driver before use in 2440. I guess your board already has the bsp for this. Go use it. 3) How is the onchip USB used? Is there a simple library like FTDI's D2xx or Silicon Lab's USBXpress where the functions are basically fopen/fread/fwrite?A:NEED USB driver ( client/host ) as well. Go check uclinux.
