#174903 - RE: Free compiler for the new Cortex-M3

Go ahead and spend a lot of money on 8052 Keil version. Then buy the AVR version.

There is no AVR version!

Now, they want more money for the ARM version.

Yes - stupid, isn't it?!

I've noted this before: ARM's stated aim in buying Keil was to "encourage" migration from 8- and 16-bit - and yet there is no incentive for existing C51 licence-holders to "upgrade" (sic) to the ARM tools!

Luminary micro can be easily developed using code sourcery's "free" version http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite...plate=lite

Or the many other free and low-cost compilers available (mostly GCC-based).

Last time I looked, the "full" CodeSourcery licence seemed to be about the same ballpark as a Keil licence?

I was far more impressed with the offering from Code Red:
http://www.code-red-tech.com/products.html

an option is a free version compiler. This means you can use a simple command line interpreter and editor program to do what a typical IDE does for you, such as Crimson Editor (or just code your own).

Indeed - but, as they say, "free" (sic) software is only free if you don't value your time...
