Chapter 19. Getting Started with the ARM RealView Development Suite
Overview
In addition to the ARM Keil Microcontroller Development Kit (MDK), ARM also provides another development suite called the RealView Development Suite (RVDS). Although it is based on the same C compiler, RVDS is targeted at the higher end of the market and has the following additional features:

• Offers profiler-driven compilation
• Supports Windows, Linux, and Unix
• Offers instruction set simulation (ISS) models
• Offers real-time system models (fast models)
When using RVDS, instead of targeting a microcontroller device, you ...
