DS5 - Is this the beginning of the end for uVision?

Andy Neil

"DS-5 Application Edition

The new Eclipse-based Development Studio 5 (DS-5) supports ARM Linux development on ARM9, ARM11, and Cortex-A application processors."

http://www.keil.com/pr/article/1201.htm

http://www.keil.com/arm/ds5/

That's currently just for Native Linux and Android development on ARM9, ARM11, and Cortex-A8 - but why maintain 2 totally different IDEs?

Will (something like) this replace uVision-4 for use with all Keil toolchains?

Does this mean that Keil are going to resume support for GCC-based development?

    I guess that, this is a preparation for the promotion of ARM based smartbook (Cortex-A).

    DS-5 Application Edition is the first of three planned DS-5 editions. It supports Linux and Android native application development with a GNU compiler optimized for ARM Linux and an Ethernet or serial connection to the target. Future editions will include kernel and driver debug and trace, and the highly optimizing ARM Compiler.

    If ARM wants to defeat Netbook (X86) with their Smartbook, they will need as more as possible useful applications running on smartbooks; then as more as possible useful drivers/devices.

    I heard that the Adobe Flash Player for ARM Cortex-A is fully prepared.
