Source for toolchain?

Hi,

We have started a project and are looking at using the  LPC1769 Xpresso board as an ARM  target. I know I can use GCC to target the board, but need to know if the the relevant patches are in the GDB source trees for the USB link.

We are in the process of designing an OS kernel in Ada so will require a custom toolchain; I have already built an ARM targeted GNAT which can target cortex-m3 no problem.

Is there anything I need to know before committing and buying a board?

We are developing under Linux.

Thanks,
Luke.

Found a typo in the that Wiki page too

where [I]debug driver[/I] is one of: 
[B]crt_emu_lpc11_13[/B] (for LPC11xx or LPC13xx parts)

should be:

where [I]debug driver[/I] is one of: 
 [B]crt_emu_lpc11_13_nxp[/B] (for LPC11xx or LPC13xx parts)

Thanks for reporting. Now fixed.

Yes. All the standard command line tools are provided. We also provide a FAQ on debugging from the command line, using GDB:

Another question, I have ordered the board, but I have just had a thought: Can we develop and upload outside of the IDE?

No. The server is a standalone executable, that implements the GDB Remote protocol. This is a standard interface, defined by GDB that allows GDB to connect a very wide range of debug targets, and is how (just about) every vendor provides an interface to GDB.

Ok, that's fine.

I take it the server is a object file you can link with?

CodeRed use a custom GDB server and it's not under GPL. It also seems NXP doesn't plan to open the LPC-Link for third party debuggers.
However, I expect you should be able to use standard GDB to connect to CodeRed's server.
