Differences

• Limited support for GNU images in AXD.

• More components are license-managed, including the CodeWarrior IDE,

fromELF, and armsd.

• In the ADS 1.0.1 maintenance release, the default stack checking option for the

assembler was changed to

/noswst

, to match the compilers.

The most important differences between ADS 1.0 and SDT 2.50/2.51 are:

• C and C++ libraries are supplied as binaries only. Selection of the appropriate

library for the build option is automatic. No rebuild kit or source code is supplied.

The C libraries are suitable for embedded applications because functions that use

SWIs can be easily retargeted.

• The CodeWarrior IDE is used for project management instead of APM.

• AXD is a new debugger for Windows and UNIX. ADW for Windows and ADU

for UNIX are still supported.

• AXD supports the new RDI 1.51 release.

• armar replaces armlib as library manager and ar format replaces ALF as the

library format.

• The object and image format is now ELF.

• The preferred and default debug table format is DWARF2.

• Support for ARM9E

™

and preliminary support for ARM10

™

• Major components are licence managed.

• Manuals are provided in DynaText form for easy browsing.

•A new ARM/Thumb Procedure Call Standard (ATPCS) encompasses ARM and

Thumb on an equal basis.

• The included C++ compilers are fully integrated with ADS, and include support

for Embedded C++.

• ARMulator supports RPS Interrupt Controller and Timer peripheral models.

• Clearer messages have been provided in many of the tools.
