Re:CodeSourcery, DriverLib and first steps

I also agree with phomann opinion. For me there are two choises for the IDE. The first is to use a real professional one like IAR ou KEIL (and paying the price for).
The second one is to use free solutions like the one I'm using.
Going to cheap commercial solution can make wasting your time.

Using a free solution can be painfull at the beginning, but after a while you will really understand all the process behind the IDE. Another positive point of this solution is that you can "easily" port to another architecture once needed.

If you are going to use the solution I proposed I will apppreciate if you could give me your feedback. I had also some headache before finnaly make everything working correctly. With your feedback we could improve the documentation and help other people on this task.

I also belive somebody here know the open source softwares better than me, please give your feedback as well...

The open source solution can really be an alternative to commercial IDE if we can come out with a clear and detailled documentation.


CB1 proposed a self installing preconfigured archive, I would like to help on this point but I'm not sure the license of those software permits the distribution. Does anbody know if if all the software I listed in the environment setup can be distributed by a third part?
In the case of a distribution does anyone have a domain we could use for that in order to put the documentation and the files somewhere else then in the forum?
