Very disapointed with the software from first use, used microchip for last 5 years. Version 5.43
I have a target device MM32F003 and want to write same code for this device; cortex M0. From manufacturer website I saw it is suppoortel by arm Keil and IAR. So First try with a Keil.
Pack installer gives me LED blink demo which I want to build, then later run.
With out of the box compiler, V6.24 I am getting 57 errors: first one is
C:/Users/Administrator/AppData/Local/Arm/Packs/ARM/CMSIS/6.2.0/CMSIS/Core/Include\cmsis_armclang.h(308): error: unknown type name 'inline'
My guess to modern compiler for such device, then I tried to install and build with compiler V5.06
5 errors after building:
Build target 'Target 1'compiling led.c...Error: C9555E: Failed to check out a license.
WTF ? MDK-Lite evaluation version out of the box in single user License tab active.
They do not allow to run simple code with blinking LED, joke. How they can invite new users or students to use their IDE ?
OK, maybe I want to much..I made second try, the user-based license was activated
1st error after build:
*** Warning: The configured compiler version '5.06 update 7 (build 960)' does not support the selected User Based Licensing technology.
Closed endless loop, either compiler to modern or licensing problem.
What a piece of shi., Anyone have idea how to build simple LED blink demo?

I will first point you to the Arm Community Guidelines regarding use of this forum.Community Guidelines
The issue is not with the tools but rather this project, which uses an older version of CMSIS.
If not installed (likely not if this is your first use), go to Arm Pack Manager, locate Arm::CMSIS, and expand down to locate version 5.9 (the latest 5.x version). Download and install.
In your project, open the Manage Run-Time Environment view, and click Select Packs at the bottom.
Deselect "Use latest versions of all installed Software Packs" and locate Arm::CMSIS.Select 5.9 (and deselect 6.2). Click OK.
The project can now build with Arm Compiler 6.24.

Regarding Arm Compiler 5, this is a very old toolchain, and is not supported any more by the Arm Community license.Usage requires purchase of a Professional Edition license.Also for completeness CMSIS 6.x does not support use of this compiler.
However with the above CMSIS pack change, the project can also build without issue.
