newbie on ARM

Hi,

I'm newbie on ARM. I was wondering if somebody could give me some
tips about developing tools for the platform (simulators, IDEs, and
so on). I'll appreciate any help.

Thanks

My tip is don't bother.  Use one of the many commercial or open source 
solutions already available....but I'm thinking maybe this is not what you 
mean?  Are you wanting tips on what tools are available?

Your request is a bit unclear.  Are you about to go developing your own 
tools, or are you looking for readily available development tools?

In the former case, I second "FreeRTOS": don't.  In the latter case: 
your particular ARM chip will most probably have some recommendations on 
its manufacturer's web site.  From what I've heard ARM has quite a 
usable GCC port, and several commercial offerings, including the 
RealView toolchain by ARM themselves.

Though apparently ARM have just ditched their RealView Debugger and 
disbanded the team doing it.

I'll remind you of that the next time you use continuity of supply as a 
stick to hit open source products with.  I presume they will be giving all 
their customers the source files and build scripts so they can continue with 
the product themselves?  First the Keil compiler, then the RealView 
debugger.  Good job GCC is still around - LOL.

No idea but it has happened before. However I suspect that they will 
have something to replace it with. uVision?

I wonder when it will become public knowledge they have canned it?
