You could use eclipse with ARMGCC straightway, however Co-IDE from Coo-Cox, simplifies a lot of things and it is also based on eclipse. In one package it configures all that you require except the ARMGCC.  It will configure most of the ARM based MCUs from major vendor for you. The best part is, it is directly connected to GITHUB and uses a component model, with which you can add all the peripheral libraries and sample codes on the fly.

Intro

Welcome to the world of ARM Microcontrollers. In this tutorial, we will look at setting up free and open-source tools for ARM Development. We have been working on LPC1768 for some-time with Keil and other development suites. However an open source alternative is always good to have. For student’s academia and startups this is a boon.

You could use eclipse with ARMGCC straightway, however Co-IDE from Coo-Cox, simplifies a lot of things and it is also based on eclipse. In one package it configures all that you require except the ARMGCC. It will configure most of the ARM based MCUs from major vendor for you. The best part is, it is directly connected to GITHUB and uses a component model, with which you can add all the peripheral libraries and sample codes on the fly. Download and install both from the links below:
