Its difficult to start firmware

No one has made a Buffallo monitor for the ARM .

you cant start an ARM , its missing to much essential firmware . Vendors want you to NOT know their h/w so they steer you into a 50 MegaByte i.D.E. , to keep you distracted , and detour you away from learning the essence of the ARM mcu .

You must use a helper host PC , which burrys too many bugs, because you dont have hands on with h/w , you are running thru a host .

Thats why Forth is stil argued at COMP.LANG.FORTH. because the people in a hurry to develope h/w , know there is only one fast way . and it is NOT software !! to operate the h/w imediately and with some s/w that does not distract you away from that h/w .

I will give a free Op Sys for ARM , it has not text , it boots in 0.1 second and has softkeys to program it in seconds . you can create new code frags in 3 seconds , test them in 5 seconds .

If you spent more time coding and less time telling us what the code will do then you'll get it finished a lot sooner. Perhaps you should switch to decaff and it might help your concentration?

That's because buffalos don't need monitoring.

And I don't follow the rest of your gibberish either.

Ok, cowboy. Pay up. Exactly WHEN will you give this free Op Sys?

It's easy to *say* you'll do something. But to never *do* it just makes you a kook.

Then write a monitor for it in assembly code. Then write upload and download utilities. Then write your operating system. I shouldn't have to be telling you this because you already made it clear that you're a better and smarter programmer than me.

There, I fed the troll. Sorry.

I thought people ran Linux and uClinux on ARM CPUs. They're free. I've heard it was done (Linux) on one project at my old job and saw it done (uClinux) first hand on another project.

Figuring out how to use a JTAG debugger to burn the OS onto a bare flash of a new board is one of the fun parts.

Vim is my IDE. :-)

GVim + ctags :-) (even on Windows !)
