Arm dev-tools for linux ?

Hello,
I am new to ARM.

Looking around the embedded specialists (IAR, KEIL) provide Windows 
tools only.
Can someone recommend a Linux based tool chain:
- IDE with code-editor, compiler, debugger based on JTAG and/or mini 
Debugger server on target
- simulator (do not know if that exists)

Is there an ARM7 dev board or device that has an ARM and CPLD connected 
for a "one fits all" usage (instead of looking to the MCU that fits to 
the problem) ?

Thanks,

Adib.

Rowley CrossWorks supports Linux. There's a long thread ("Opinions  on
Rowley CrossWorks for ARM". It's based on the gcc but with their own
libraries which are said to outperform the open source libraries (newlib,
uclibc). Not sure if it includes a simulator.

The ARM toolchain (RealView Development Suite) works on Linux, too, and is
based on ARM's own compiler.

An alternative could be a completely free toolchain with Eclipse, GCC,
newlib and GDB. The OpenOCD (http://openocd.berlios.de/) supports JTAG
debugging on ARM7/9 systems with Wigglers, FT2232 based devices (JTAGkey,
ARM-USB-OCD, Signalyzer, homebrew devices) and the Amontec JTAG
Accelerator, but I might be a bit biased, so I leave it to others to
recommend alternatives.

Take a look at www.microcross.com I've been using their stuff for a couple
of years. Good support too.

I do not know if it fits your needs but you might check out OpenOCD,
and James Lynch's GNU+ARM tutorial:
   http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.tools.cdt/msg09917.html

www.embeddedarm.com (Technologic Systems) sells a board with
an ARM9 and and FPGA.

www.iotech.dk has an ARM9 with FPGA for real linux (not uCLinux)

Try Mentor Graphics Eclipse based IDE EDGE which comes with Debugger,
simulator and dozens of demos!
