Amontec sdk4arm is a complete Software Development Kit for ARM processors based on GNU tools ( full sources), but comes pre-compiled for Win32. Using the source of the sdk4arm, you may build your sdk4arm for Linux.
It includes :
- a IDE Viewer : Eclipse platfrom / Embedded Zylin plug-ins
- a Compiler : GNU ARM GCC
- a Debugger : GNU ARM GDB (+ Insight)
- a JTAG server : OpenOCD JTAG server
Only 4 minutes Installation with CDROM !
 DOWNLOAD your sdk4arm CDROM (28-MARCH-2007)

Install the sdk4arm
After downloading the Amontec sdk4arm CDROM content, follow:
- Unzip the amontec-sdk4arm-yyyymmdd-win32.zip file in a temporary folder.
- Run the included amontec-sdk4arm-install.exe application.
- Install Ide module (including Eclipse, Embedded Zylin CDT plug-in ...)
- Install gat module (including GNU ARM toolchain, GCC GDB Insight ...)
- Install ocd module (including OpenOCD JTAG server, JTAGkey drivers ...)
- Verify that your SUN Java is version 1.5 or newer (if this is not the case, Install JAVA JRE 1.5.0)
The amontec-sdk4arm-install.exe application helps to install all modules, and helps to install or update your SUN JAVA virtual machine used by Eclipse Platform. The complete installation should be done in 4 minutes!
If you want to download the modules separately, if you want to see the content of each module or if you want to download the sources of the sdk4arm, please go to here.
Creating your own Amontec sdk4arm CDROM
You may burn your own sdk4arm CDROM with the content of the .zip. We added an autorun in the main directory of the .zip. Also, if you need to print a label, you could use the file amontec-sdk4arm-cdrom-label-neato-a42up.pdf included in the main directory of the .zip.
Your first use of sdk4arm
--- This section is under construction ---
Amontec is working on an mini ARM7 platform. This mini ARM7 Platform will be used for building a very complete tutorial using the Amontec sdk4arm and the Amontec JTAGkey. Please let us some times for finishing the tutorial.
In the mean time, you could now check the version of each most important package as the GNU GCC Insight Toolchain and the OpenOCD JTAG server. By checking the versions, you will learn about the static paths to use when using the Amontec sdk4arm. Please open an Windows Command Prompt now.
- testing the GCC compiler arm-gcc-elf version, please enter after your >:
”%SDK4ARM%/gat/garm/bin/arm-elf-gcc” --version
- testing the GNU make version, please enter:
”%SDK4ARM%/gat/utils/bin/make” --version
- testing the openocd JTAG server version, please enter:
”%SDK4ARM%/ocd/openocd/bin/openocd” -h
Note 1: in the next Release Update of each module installer we will add a better support for checking the version of the toolchain.
Note 3: when installing the sdk4arm, the installer add the path of your most important tools in the PATH environment variable. But the installer add an very powerful new Environment variable : %SDK4ARM%.
When using this variable in Eclipse, make sure to use %SDK4ARM% and not %sdk4arm%. Eclipse is based on SUN JAVA which one is a bit case sensitive.
Starting the OpenOCD JTAG server, launch
Starting your Eclipse from your desktop:
But now you want to use Eclipse, and work on your C / C++ project for ARM!
You may start with the Michael Fischer online tutorial. This tutorial is not specific to the sdk4arm but generic !
how-to-use Eclipse : http://www.usbdip.de/en/armdev2/index.html#use
Note : When configuring your eclipse project, make sure to never use “\” in any path, but use only “/”.
In fact:
- .\src\main.c produces errors.
- ./src/main.c is MUCH BETTER !
Starting OpenOCD JTAG server:
”%SDK4ARM%/ocd/openocd/bin/openocd” -f.\jtagkey-lpc2xxx.cfg
”%SDK4ARM%/ocd/openocd/bin/openocd” -f.\jtagkey-str7xx.cfg
