I want to know which ARM C/C++ Compiler
is best for Texas TMS470 ARM7 Family

1) IAR EW for ARM
2) KEIL ARM Real View MDK
3) Rowley Cross Works for ARM

Cost is not a issue, I want to know by performance and features.
In code and speed optimization which one is better

I am looking for GOOD code optimization.

IAR EW for ARM and KEIL ARM Real View MDK are good :d my friends often use one of them . if you choice a best i think it is KEIL , because ARM manufacture buy KEIL and i think they will support for KEIL

The best price/performance is Rowley but you said price is not an issue.
Size optimization very little difference between IAR and Keil. Speed optimization Keil, based on ARM Realview compiler is faster.

You might want to check your local support for all of the options and make that an important factor!

Where I live, in the SF Bay Area both offer good support. I would think though that IAR support is better in Sweden and Keil support better in Germany just as examples.
Not to forget Rowley, while the company is small, the e-mail support is very good!

Hi

I have used IAR compiler (cost $5000) for a large project - it is good although he has his own limitation - if you choose this one - i dont recomned you to work with tumb mode - the IDE got strange behavior when using tumb mode

For my next project i'm gooing to order the KEIL compiler (all most the same price)

All the best

Bobi

thanks

I want to use uC/OS-II RTOS in my design.

Only IAR Support uC/OS-II in C-Spy Debugger and Keil does't.

Is it necessary to have a compiler which suppot uC/OS-II in debugger.
