    Hi to all.

    Please can you tell me what is the best compiler for a STR751fr2, I am so confused to choice a good programmer/debuger (ULINK 2 or J_LINK or CrossConnect).

    I am looking for the easier and powerful compiler, and looking for a nice IDE.

    Thanks

    If code quality is a major concern, RealView compilers are the best, and they ship with Keil. I've seen both IAR and Keil, and I can confirm this. I haven't seen IAR 5.x, though, they might have improved code quality with the new version. As for gcc, everybody seems to say that it produces lower-quality code than commercial counterparts, but I cannot confirm this. CrossWorks ships with gcc.

    As for IDE and debugger, I really like Keil. Text editor is better than IAR's, too. I haven't tried CrossWorks, though.

    Thanks, I will try to buy a license of Keil RealView but first I will test it.

    Do you have Ulink 2?, it is necessary to buy ulink 2 instead of another programmer because it is a little expensive ($395 US).

    :D thanks for guide me.

    As for me, I use a home-made wiggler. There is a piece of software called H-JTAG that enables the use of a wiggler with Keil. There are some quirks, but it's usable. And I use OpenOCD to burn the on-chip flash prior to debugging session. Code upload speed is roughly 5 Kbytes/s, YMMV. When code upload times started exceeding 2 minutes, I developed a USB-based loader which uploads firmware in a few seconds.

    Hi volius

    I will try to make my own wiggler, but i have one problem because my Laptop does not have parallel port. Do you know if a USB JTAG from olimex is useful with H-JTAG?

    Thanks again.

    Sorry, I can't provide any guidance with respect to USB-JTAG adapters, never used one. If you have a PCMCIA slot, there is always an option of buying a PCM card with a parallel port. Perhaps, you would be better off searching google for the answer.
