LPC2129/LPC2194

Started by ualbe October 25, 2005
Dear LPC2000 group,
I'm new to ARM chip and i'm starting to develope with LPC2129/LPC2194.
Some simple but fundamental questions:

1- which is the best toolchain to work with?
2- there are someone working with GCC/Keil/ULINK set?
3- there are someone working with winIdea?

thanks in advance

An Engineer's Guide to the LPC2100 Series

Dear Micheal,
my target are automotive applications like CAN gateway/repater, CAN I/O
slave, machine controller.
My experience is on 8/16 bit processor (PIC, 8051, CR167, Atmel).
The language is C.

Dear Alberto

Verry interesting targets.

I would suggest using Gnu C.
Since I asume you are already used to it.
I also came from AVR and 8051.

There is a verry interesting pdf about using Gnu C, amr toolchain with
Eclipse dev platform.
You can download it on the olimex website. This enviroment is much better
than programmers notepad.

I hope I could help a little.

Cheers
Michael

Dear Micheal,

unfortunately I have never used GNU C.
So far I compiled with Keil, Tasking, mcc18 but ever GNU C.
I'm thinking to use Keil IDE/Debugger uVision 3, ULINK jtag interface
on GCC compiler.
What about on this?
I'm going to look eclipse platform ,bye!

Thanks

Alberto Ubertelli

I use and like the Keil compiler and like it a lot. Good support and it
compiles small fast code.

The only down side of the Keil package is the cost. I'm thinking of trying
out the ImageCraft Arm compiler, it's MUCH cheaper.

Dear Alberto

Sorry but your question is like

Dear Humans I have to feet, which are the best shoes to put on?

To get a qualified answer you should tell us what are your design targets,
in which languages are you experienced,...

Hi Alberto!

When you are used to Keil, except the cost, there is nothing to say against
it.
It is a verry compleate Ide and some tasks are much more intuitive than with
Gnu C.
But once you get used to the Gnu "enviroment" you don't miss anything.
If you are happy with Keil, there is no reason to switch.
It is a professional enviroment.

Dear Micheal,
excuse me if I'm boring you with this novice's question.
what about on JTAG debugger ULINK?It's better an emulator like Ione
(winIDEA) or ULINK is enough for this machine target.
thanks a lot for suggestion.

Hi Alberto,

There are quite a few Michaels on this list. For my money I'd buy a
wiggler (or clone) it's the nearest thing to a standard JTAG cable, it
works very well with lots of software and is cheap. Be wary of things
called emulators they're usually just heavy JTAG cables - unless you
want to use the ETM which I have no experience of.

Regards
Michael

Dear Alberto

I am sorry in the moment I use a homemade Wiggler clone.
I would asume your Ulink is much better.
I got a coupon for an Ulink for 99$ but did not use it.
In the moment the "slow" Wiggler is good enough for me.
If I ever would buy a comercial unit then the Ulink would be first choice.
The other comercial units are way to expensive for me.
