CrossWorks for ARM is a complete C/C++ development system for ARM and Cortex, microcontrollers and microprocessors that runs on Windows, Mac OS and Linux.

C/C++ Compiler

CrossWorks comes with pre-built versions of both GCC and Clang/LLVM C and C++ compilers and assemblers. The GNU linker and librarian are also supplied to enable you to immediately begin developing applications for ARM.

CrossWorks C Library

CrossWorks for ARM has its own royalty-free ANSI and ISO C compliant C library that has been specifically designed for use within embedded systems.

CrossWorks C++ Library

CrossWorks for ARM supplies a C++ library that implements STL containers, exceptions and RTTI.

CrossStudio IDE

CrossStudio for ARM is a streamlined integrated development environment for building, testing, and deploying your applications. CrossStudio provides:

• Source Code Editor:  A powerful source code editor with multi-level undo and redo, makes editing your code a breeze.
• Project System:  A complete project system organizes your source code and build rules.
• Build System:  With a single key press you can build all your applications in a solution, ready for them to be loaded onto a target microcontroller.
• Debugger and Flash Programming:  You can download your programs directly into Flash and debug them seamlessly from within the IDE using a wide range of target interfaces.
• Help system:  The built-in help system provides context-sensitive help and a complete reference to the CrossStudio IDE and tools.
• Core Simulator:  As well as providing cross-compilation technology, CrossWorks provides a PC-based fully functional simulation of the target microcontroller core so you can debug parts of your application without waiting for hardware.

CrossWorks Tools

CrossWorks for ARM supplies command line tools that enable you to build your application on the command line and flash it to the target board using the same project file that the IDE uses.
