Hello master's
i am using arm7 lpc2148 processor and using keil but evalution version. and i am interested to work on eclipse if any one know how to use eclipse please provide me tutorial.
i am very new to eclipse and i have downloaded this software.
Thank you.
I had used gcc-arm compiler with code blocks IDE ..... However i am not sure you will able to setup Keil arm compiler with eclipse but defiantly you can setup gcc-arm tool chain with eclipse....you need eclipse gcc-arm plug in for that....
Search for setting up the tool chain with gcc-arm with eclipse on google you will get plenty of material.....

**broken link removed**
Also you can explore YAGARTO toolchain too...
Kindly please note that I am fan of open source and some time these tool chain dose not work just like that ....many times when there is release mismatch from article ..... So you need to explore a bit.....
Good luck
Also you can even explore YAGARTO on google too.....
I think you need to first download the eclipse from net and setup the workspace for that and then you can follow the process describe above..... Search for setting up eclipse in your OS on net....
This compiler works for barebone software compiling, without an OS on the MCU.
As for eclipse I have stopped using the ARM plugin because it lacked some features (like automatic compiler detection regardless of host OS) and had some other bugs, like the option for generating a srec file automatically made the file extension ".hex"
Now I use the cross compiler option available in eclipse. together with the hardware GDB support. The down side is that it takes a while to set up a project and you need to know what you are doing.
By the way, the hardest things to do for compiling for ARM are the startup file and the linker file.
The MCU header file could be obtained from the MCU manufacturer, usually after installing some demo compiler package. or you could write it yourself.
