Hello everybody!
I am new to ARM uC but I have some experience in AVR uC.
I'm interested in STR71xx uC and found this RAID7 IDE which is offered as free with GNU C compilers included.
I would appreciate your advise about the IDE as I'm a little bit lost in the variety of Dev Tools offfered by many companies.
I am used to the CodeVision AVR which was pretty cheap to buy and included lots of libraries for LCD, RTC, and many other ICs.
I've downloaded and installed:
"Standard Package RKit-ARM For STR7 & STR9 families.
Ride7, GNU C Compiler, GNU Assembler, GNU Linker, Simulator/Debugger, RFlasher No Limitation "
but the splash box showed something about some limitations wich were supposed to be none as the product selector on webiste showed.
I would like to know about anybody's experience with free or nonexpensive IDE with C compiler included for STR71xx family.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Tomek

Hi Tomek
This software can be used with the ARM derivatives supported without any limitation.
If you meet one while compiling, it can be removed in the linker options ("starter kit limitation")
But it is not the same for the hardware you use.
You can program without limitation with an RLink for instance.
But the debug is limited to 32k if you do not have a RLink Pro.

Than you for this information I think I will make a start with this IDE, it looks pretty simple and yet powerful especially the simulator as I still don't have the hardware.
Can you please also advise me on how to easily set up in RIDE STR7 peripherials, eg. set I/O directions, UART baudrate, ADC parameters etc. with a mouse click ? Is such functionality available as I haven't found it yet in RIDE but it was mentioned somewhere in the manuals?
Best regards

Hi
I think there is no such functionality, unfortunately it has to be changed from the code;
