Step 1: Install Software

The ARMexpress or ARMmite have a built in BASIC Compiler or Library.  When the C compiler is used to download a program it will overlay these BASIC components, so you WILL NOT be able to run BASIC after downloading a C program. While the BASIC system runs on Win98, the C compiler WILL NOT run on Win98, and there is no intention to change that, as it requires a 32 bit system.

Also the ARMmite supports C directly, but to program the ARMexpress in C it must be in a Coridium Eval PCB, or if you want to do it in your own system, you must copy the DTR/RTS connections (see reference schematics).

The GCC compiler runs on the PC and is controlled by the Tcl program MakeItC. MakeItC launches a text editor of your choice, analyses sources, compiles the C components, links them into a hex file, downloads the hex file to the hardware, and communicates with the ARMexpress or ARMmite with the TclTerm terminal emulation program.

Also, a number of help files and documents about the ARMexpress and ARMmite will be installed on the machine at this time.

  If you wish to change the directory into which MakeIt and its components will be installed you may do so here.

While the installer does give you a choice of where to install the C compiler, this version of Yagarto GCC requires both the gcc AND the sources you want to be compiled to be on the C: drive.
