I am approaching to the ARM world and I develop applications for Cortex M3
LPC17xx and in the future also LPC11xx M0 .
I have to develop in C with the libraries support.
I’m evaluating development tools to use and would like some advice from
those already developed in this field, considering that my application would
probably exceed 32K and not want to risk it.
I tried the evaluation version of Keil UVisions 4 where I configured the
CodeSourcery GNU compiler, but I read that debugging is limited to 32K, can
you confirm me this information ?.
I also tried LPCXpresso limited to 128K with the possibility of moving to
256k with low cost, but the libraries seem too basic and not complete for
all peripherals.
What made the libraries better? I saw that most of the examples are for
Keil.
So, I want opinion from those already use these processors, to be used as
development tools at no additional cost and if so, what to buy at low cost.
Thanks
Hi
Keil test version is limited to 16k code.
IAR kick start version is limited to 32k code.
Both are available as unlimited evaluation (usually 30 days).
Rowley Crossworks is available as unlimited evaluation version - and also reduced price version for private use.

Not quite. They have their own libraries.

GCC is not public domain. It can’t be PD because it’s copyrighted.
