An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) enables you to use a graphical interface to manage your software development projects. You can invoke the ARM tools to develop C, C++, and assembly language programs through an IDE. This enables you to configure the ARM tools to compile, assemble, and link your project code.

ARM has also licensed the CodeWarrior IDE from Metrowerks and is making this available with RealView Development Suite. However, this is not available on Sun Solaris or Red Hat Linux platforms. CodeWarrior IDE example projects are provided with RealView Development Suite in the main examples directory install_directory\RVDS\Examples.

See RealView Development Suite Getting Started Guide for more details on using IDEs.
