11 years ago --- Quote Start --- In SoC EDS istallation present 2 Baremetal compiler family-s: - C:/Atera/14.0/embedded/host-tools/mentor/gnu/arm/baremetal/bin; - C:/Atera/14.0/embedded/ds-5/bin (armcc.exe and more). First is free, and second ask licence. Have it any preferences ? Many examples have "ARMCC" in filename, and many -- "GNU", for both versions. --- Quote End --- ARM compiler is only supported by the Full ARM DS5 edition (for all ARM processors), while GNU C compiler provided by DS-5 Community or / Altera Editions. If you are hobbyst, or do some projects for Altera SoC FPGAs, i think, the GNUC compiler will be the better choice. details: http://ds.arm.com/altera/ Zs.V.
