OP is working with industrial applications. That typically implies relatively small production runs and relatively high cost of the end product. So, I wouldn't consider cost of the silicon as a serious factor.nandhu015 said:In most the times, it depends on cost and availability.

Hi-Tech forum is dead? Are you serious?
Yes, CCS has phenomenal community support. In fact, lots of community support is CCS's official support in disguise. The official documentation is mediocre, though. The compiler also has missfeatures like the one discussed here: https://www.ccsinfo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=118609vsmGuy said:Nick, nothing beats CCS in terms for community support.
IAR has a good official support. Seminars are available in my area (Silicon Valley). Also, it’s a tool of choice of my clients and partners. So, there’s some local community support. The choice was just between IAR and Keil. From the posts in the online forums such as this one, it appears that the mindshare is split 50/50. But offline I couldn’t find a single person who used Keil. As an potential benefit, IAR has compilers for other uC families (most notably: PIC and MSP430).funnynypd said:What do you like the best from IAR?
funnynypd said:By the way, even the best PICC18 is not a good choice for USB and Ethernet applications, try use C18 instead.
