Keil MDK-ARM vs. RealView Development Suite

ANDREW BARMEYER

Does the Keil MDK-ARM incorporate the ARM RealView Development Suite (RVDS) into Keil's u-Vision IDE, or are the two completely independent development platforms? I am considering taking a Cortex-M3 software development training class from Doulos that uses RVDS, but our intent is to use the Keil MDK-ARM platform for our actual development. Would the Doulos class based on RVDS help with the use of the Keil tool chain, or just add to the confusion of learning new tools?

    Thank you for the prompt reply. Unfortunately, it still leaves me uncertain as to whether the Doulos course on Cortex M3-M4 software using RVDS will be significantly beneficial as preparation to use the Keil MDK-ARM development platform on a Cortex M3 development project (using Nexperia LPC1778) we are about to start. Can you comment on this?

    Alternatively, there was a Keil administered class specifically on using MDK-ARM for ARM software development back in February:
    ARM Microcontroller Software Development Workshop
    Plano, TX USA — Feb 22, 2012

    I have been looking for another session for this course, and can't find one. I can only find Doulos courses in the US (and a couple others in Germany) during the remainder of 2012. Is Keil planning to repeat the Plano, Texas course at any point in the foreseeable future?
    Thanks!

    Speak to the guys at Doulos, explain your requirements, and discuss with them whether their standard course meets your specific needs.

    Depending on the size of your team & budget, they (like other training providers) may be able to customise a course for you.

    Most training providers will also deliver courses on-site.

    "Is Keil planning..."

    You would have to ask Keil directly about that!

    Also speak to your Keil & Nexperia distributors

    Not sure what LPC1778 has to do with Nexperia?

    AFAIK, LPC1778 is just a plain Cortex-M3 microcontroller: www.nxp.com/.../LPC1778FET208.html

    But Nexperia is, "NXP’s brand for a unique group of products that streamline development of next-generation, connected multimedia appliances. Flexible Nexperia solutions help manufacturers meet market demands for innovative, appealing products in targeted consumer and communications markets"
