We really made good experience with the Segger Tools (embOS/emWin). We
used it on a different CPU but will need an ARM chip for a new
application for which we will choose their system again. It inlcudes a
start project and the viewer (included) is very helpful. The best way
to find out if it is suitable for your application is to download the
trial version. Just go to www.segger.com/download.html.
