Hi,

I see Raisonance say that the Ride7 IDE only supports ST Cortex-M3 micros, and then in Q4 2009 will support NXP COrtex-M3 micros too.

What is the restriction though with ARM's introduction of CMSIS? I dont see why Ride can't be used with any vendor CortexM3's?

Hi

In the support of a specific target there are several points to develop when adding a device to the target list.
You can find below a list of task to do even when adding even a derivative from the same family

Concerning the IDE Ride7 and RKit-ARM:
- To add the correct compilation defines
- To create the correct script link
- To manage the startup
- To manage at least some libraries

Concerning te simulator and debugger:
- To manage specific peripherals simulation
- To handle programmation\debug which often
- To validate
