I am looking for a tool chain for my new STM32F4 project. I have been trying emIDE (emide.org). It works very well with GCC.
Question: Can I use uVision with GCC as well?
Thanks, Björn
I love the hover on variables in the EmBlocks debugger to see the current values. I hardly use watches any more.
If you really compare both by using them then there is a big difference. All the mentioned upcoming features for emIDE are already in EmBlocks (not accidentally i think). You should really try them both side-by-side. It's not because both use GCC and both uses a codeblocks source that it's equal nice.
OK, I tried them all: emIDE: Nice, no problems to use emBlocks: Nice, no problems to use uVision: Very nice, but code size limited
Short: You are looking for a free tool chain. one of the first 2 it is.
I have used uVision and emBlocks (not tried out emIDE yet) and CoIDE (in the same light as emblocks).
With the commercial product, you get support - but you pay for that support; With the free product, you are on your own.
If you are starting out, and money is tight, try the free ones. If you are making a living on those tools, it is safer to go with the commercial ones.
