CrossWorks for ARM

CrossWorks for ARM is a complete C/C++ and assembly code development system for ARM7, ARM9, XScale, and Cortex microcontrollers. And when we say complete we mean complete — CrossWorks for ARM is packed full of features such as:

• CrossStudio Integrated Development Environment-taking care of edit, build, download and debug over JTAG.
• C, C++and Assembler toolchain from the GNU Compiler Collection.
• The CrossWorks C Library. This is our own non-GPL and non-LGPL C runtime library that has designed from the ground up for embedded processor applications.
• The CrossWorks Tasking Library, known as CTL. CTL is a royalty-free tasking library that provides a multi-priority, pre-emptive, task switching and synchronisation facility. Additionally, the library can also provide timer and interrupt handling support.

Target Connections

CrossWorks supports a wide range of ways to connect to your target:

• Our CrossConnect for ARM USB JTAG adapter is the ideal JTAG interface to use with CrossStudio for ARM. It supports ARM7, ARM9, XScale, and Cortex cores and you can use it with Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Solaris versions of CrossWorks for ARM.
• The SEGGER J-Link is widely available; take a look at SEGGER Microcontroller.
• FTDI Chip FT2232 based JTAG devices such as the Amontec JTAGkey, Amontec JTAGkey-Tiny, Olimex ARM-USB-OCD and Olimex ARM-USB-TINY.
• A Wiggler from Macraigor Systems on a parallel port is simple and cheap. Compatible devices are also available from Olimex.
