Hello.
Our company is doing a board based on the Xilinx Zynq board in the near future (which has a built-in cortex a9), but Xilinx isn't putting out development boards soon enough to suit us. So I'm looking for a development board that we can use in the meantime to develop PC software, and perhaps software that runs on the ARM. We're hoping to use USB for communication between the PC and ARM, and the first thing I was looking for was a USB software driver for the PC.
www.arm.com/.../usb-device-interface.php
This page suggests that, for the devices supported by the MDK software package (Cortex™-M, Cortex-R4, ARM7™ and ARM9™), the host-side driver to use is standard in windows distributions. I'd like to know if the same is true for cortex a9.
Also, could I use the Keil tools to develop for the a9-side software? Or do I put an operating system (embedded or otherwise) on it and develop it as though it were a PC?
