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.

I just installed Q14 Web and don't have the "embedded" folder.

Is this from ARM-DS or the subscription edition?

Seems one has to spend quite some money to be able to do a simple bare metal C-V SoC design and also will not be able to use his "good old" known arm-gnu toolchain with openocd.

I think about using separate devices mcu + fpga for flexibility and cost again, because i think the FPGA companies still need some time to get "SoC" easy and low cost to work with.
