ARM support was anounced in the Keil Spring/Summer 2002 Newsletter: http://www.keil.com/newsletters/2002sp_keil.pdf We're now into October, and the ARM page on the Keil site still says, "In July 2002 the µVision2 IDE will (sic) incorporate support for the 32-bit ARM7TDMI architecture." http://www.keil.com/ARM/ I couldn't find Keil mentioned on the ARM site. Is anybody out there actually using uVision with an ARM? Keil sales seem rather reticent on the subject.
We are still working on the ARM support and will be releasing something very, very soon. I'm sorry that's so non-specific. Jon
Thanks Jon - it is, at least, an answer! I would have thought that your Sales guys should have an answer - rather than just completely ignoring enquiries!! (I have still had no replies) Someone also needs to get straight to work and fix that web page: "In July 2002 the µVision2 IDE will incorporate support for the 32-bit ARM7TDMI architecture." is just clearly untrue! http://www.keil.com/arm/
ARM Tools are here! You may download the BETA toolset from the following URL: http://www.keil.com/demo/eval/arm.htm Jon
"ARM Tools are here!" Well, not quite there yet: the eval download page tells us to look at the limitations, but the limitations page doesn't mention ARM. What are the restrictions on the ARM Eval? As it's still a Beta, what are the known issues?
We currently support the GNU ARM Compiler. There are no limitations on that. Currently, there are no known issues. But, it has only been tested at a few sites (20 or so). Since the compiler is the GNU compiler, I wouldn't expect a lot of problems there. The uVision2 Debugger supports practically all on-chip peripherals of the Atmel ARM7 devices at present. ARM7 parts from Philips will be simulated shortly. Jon
"We currently support the GNU ARM Compiler. There are no limitations on that." Are there any limitations on the uVision part of it? eg, other uVision evaluations have a source file size limit in the editor, and an object file size limit in the debugger. Is there any JTAG support?
We are adapting the Keil ULINK in the moment that will serve as JTAG adapter. We expect that it will become available in Jan. 2003.
it support ThreadX for ARM7 RTOS ?
