Hello, we are looking for development tools (IDE and simple In-Circuit Debugger) for the Philips LPC210x (ARM7) controller family, particularly at the lower priced end. At the Philips homepage, several systems are listed (mainly from the greater vendors like Keil, Nohau, IAR, Ashling etc.). Can someone recommend a good package to look at? Maybe there are some more makers of "smaller" development tools which are not listed there? (For example, I guess there is a free GCC compiler available.) Besides C/C++, are there any compilers for other languages (preferrably Pascal)? TIA, -- Dipl.-Ing. Tilmann Reh Autometer GmbH Siegen - Elektronik nach Ma�. http://www.autometer.de
Philips LPC210x cheap & quick start?

It supports the ARM on-chip debug interface - I use it with my own JTAG hardware. There is a very active Yahoo support group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lpc2000/ and a GNUARM group if you want to use the free GNU tools: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gnuarm/ Leon

But actually, I did not hear about a Pascal compiler for ARM so far. --- 42Bastian Do not email to bastian42@yahoo.com, it's a spam-only account :-) Use <same-name>@epost.de instead !

I will give it a second try. (However, web based groups are horrible anyway - a usenet group would be far more efficient...) Thanks, -- Dipl.-Ing.

However, I would need additional software packages (I don't want to start with FORTH), and I guess a complete package (hard- and software) might be more cost effictive. -- Dipl.-Ing.

If anyone comes across one, please let me know!There is a GNU Pascal compiler: http://www.gnu-pascal.de/gpc/h-index.html It might be feasible to convert it into a cross-compiler for the ARM. Another option is the GNU p2c translator. Actually, that might be the best way. Leon

For DEBUG I'd guess GDB would be well advanced. -jg
