You will need the latest version of Apple Developer Tools which include Xcode, Interface Designer, Instruments etc. This way you always stay inline with the latest GCC developments.įirst let’s have a look at the pre-requisites. The best thing about CodeSourcery is that they also offer commercial solutions which result in quarterly updates to the Lite tool-chain also. But some of the plugins we need to use, which I shall be explaining later in this post, still run on Helios.Įclipse CDT is a C/C++ development IDE based on Eclipse (which defaults to Java development).ĬodeSourcery Lite is GCC-based ARM toolchain which provides all the basic ingredients (compiler, assembler, archiver, linker, libraries, newlib, binutils, etc.) in console based executables.

The post is a simple walkthrough to making your first ARM project on Eclipse Helios on a Mac running OS X 10.7(the walkthrough is also applicable to previous generation OS X). It is the best IDE I have used so far which supports almost everything, all programming languages, hardwares and toolchains. Since then, I have shifted all my development routines for Arduino, Python and now ARM onto Eclipse. I was introduced to the open source integrated development environment Eclipse by my friend Shan.
