Development with GCC and Eclipse

[Jan Lundskov]

Hi Vidar, I am planning to start devlopment on the nRF52 and I would like to use GCC ARM with Eclipse. After having read your post "Development with GCC and Eclipse" and seeing all the comments regarding errors/issues etc. I don't feel very comfortable starting this process.

Now that you have developed these nice nRF51/52 IC's with softdevices etc, then it makes no sense that it should be so complicated to start writing code in an IDE.

Is there any chance that you will write a post describing how to make Eclipse Managed projects instead? Or somehow make the process of getting the GCC/Eclipse system up and running more simple.

Thanks in advance.

Take a look at the above link. This IDE is much easier to use and set up than eclipse and has much better debugging. It uses the GCC compiler and is free with no limitations for evaluation. It works on Windows, mac osx, linux
