Hello All,

I'm looking for GNUARM based IDE and I'm wondering if XWORKS offers device libraries (LCD 2x16, graphic, RTC etc) too?

I downloaded the IDE but see only basic peripherial libs.

I'm also looking at MikroC for ARM from Eletronika, they have their own C complier that I don't trust very much but they have a lot of device libraries.

regards

  When CrossWorks 3 ships, we will provide a wide range of drivers in source form for SPI, I2C, graphic LCDs (including our own minimal graphics library).  On top of that we provide drivers for a multitude of sensors (accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers, temperature, humidity).  And 2x16 LCD.  And many others.  These will use our Platform API to provide services and will be available on a wide range of target boards.

  Hello Paul,

  Thanks for the fast response.

  I was planning to purchase an IDE ( Eclipse wasted my nerves) this year as the eval boards are on their way to us as we want to move from 8 bit AVR to ARM Cortex M3 ASAP . Having worked with CodeVisionAVR for years we are used to not having to  write the basic drivers from scratch.     

  How soon are you planning to release CrossWorks 3? 

   

  Regards

  Before the end of the year; if you purchase now, you'll be entitled to V3 anyway.

  Can you give me a glimpse on the features of  CrossWorks 3? What libs are going to be available?

  Here's a snapshot of some projects included for the Olimex STM32-E407.  Notice "Shield Tests", "Networking Projects" and "Mass Storage Projects" along with some other bits and pieces.

  I found some link to the new IDE:

  http://www.rowleydownload.co.uk/snapshots/arm_crossworks_crossworks_v3_win_x86_setup.exe

  is this the correct version? I would like to browse the help files to see the lib API.

  regards

  That would be a V3 snapshot, yes, but it will not help you with the API.  The packages that support the API have not yet been published to the web.
