I am starting to evaluate IDE platforms for a development project on a LPC1768. My question is the size limitaiton of 32KB seems very small for a LPC1768. Also, are there any good independent forums for reviews on various IDE platforms?
I don't see how 32 kB would be a problem, unless you expect the tools to slow down with n^2 or n^3 or whatever for larger code.
32 kB means you can write quite a lot of code to test the performance of the compiler, or test the debugger or the simulator support.
Exactly what part of the IDE can you not evaluate with 32kB? What part of the linker do you feel does not get properly evaluated with a 32kB limit? What part of the debugger?
I think Scatter files are not supported in the Evaluation - but that's actually a separate limitation from the code size...
