Keil for an ASIC

Hi,

I am working for the software development (Basically the drivers and the software integration) for an ASIC being developed by our company. The core on the ASIC is ARM7, but the various peripherals may be different from any standard ARM development board. Is it possible to use keil effectively for such a development? If yes, How?. Is the keil software configurable?

Regards,

  • Is it possible to use keil effectively for such a development?

    Of course it is. Keil's IDE is nice, and the RealView compiler shipped with it is (perhaps, arguably) best in the industry.
    The debugger is nice, too. Sure, you will not have the convenience of dialog boxes for supported peripherals in the debugger since Keil have no information about your ASIC, but that's understandable.

    If yes, How?. Is the keil software configurable?

    Yes, it is configurable enough. All I can say is 'read the manual'.
