Hello again!
You may noticed that I made another topic and it resulted on me choosing the ARM family. So far so good.
I installed the GnuARM and put it to work with CodeBlocks, and tested to compile a sample source I found over the net, and it worked and generated the .hex! Its for a ARM7 lpc210x chip.
Now, I would like to know if someone already used any good simulation tool to emulate the ARM chip, I would like to play with ARM in theory first, than go to a real circuit :)
Does anyone know any good tutorial to start? (C/C++ language)
Thank you again!
the limit is on code + data.
I use the mdk 3.70 demo and it is the best simulator I have so far. graphic / interactive representations of peripherals, logic analyzer, etc. are just great for debugging the program.
I also use Proteus to help determine any bugs with the other devices. it is my "dev board" so to speak. But the devices are limited too.
If you are careful, you can handle most problems with the simulator.
Use a serial port and monitor commands or trace printouts together with gcc for writing large programs.
Use the evaluation version of the simulator to help solve module-related problems - how to handle a serial port or an SPI device or similar. The kind of problems where a printout takes too long time, or where your application hangs.
