SDK v 4.3, S110 v 5.2 and a totally new gcc toolchain.

[cocoa]

Hi all, the release note of SDK 4.3.0 reports that it was tested and verified using BLE S110 version 5.2

When it will be available (version 5.2) ? Actually we can download only version 5.1

The same note reports a switching from gcc CodeSourcery to gcc-arm-embedded (launchpad).

Why such a sudden change? What are the benefits ?

Thanks.

I've tested the new toolchain that Nordic has adopted and, without the nightmare about the porting of CS3 libraries from linux to OS X, now, is a new life.

Upgrading the gcc toolchain on OS X, is a breeze.

Perfect choice Nordic, congratulations.

Mac OS X developers, finally, have the chances to code, compile and debug nRF51822 firmware directly in OS X.

Gcc ld scripts in SDK work perfectly in Eclipse with gnu ARM Plugin.

Hoping in a support from Nordic to release an Xcode plugin for this toolchain.

Thanks.

I'm just getting started, reading all the old posts I can find. Where is this 'new toolchain' using GCC on OSX? That sounds eminently more like what I want than running keil under parallels.
