What sw tools do i need for a bare-metal design?

As the title says. For compiling i may want to use the "arm-none-eabi" cross toolchain with newlib. Could i do some useful debugging with openocd&gcc via the byteblaster? Is there a exam...

In SoC EDS is present many examples of startup.S (c:/altera/14.0/embedded/ds-5/examples) for many boards.

Also in this last version baremetal compiler utilites is renamed to arm-altera-eabi-*.

If you will find free good soft for developing non-Linux apps on Altera boards, please describe here in detail with direct links !

Recommended DS-5 Altera Edition is very crude and not free.

I think that ByteBlaster may be used with appropriate connector to JTAGs, only will be slow speed.
