Asking a question like this, I feel like I'm ignoring an elephant in the room.
I'm about to start programming for an ARM7 device. And of course, like to use Visual Studio. After digging and digging (I've learned that when you don't see an obvious Msft position, they aren't interested) all I see is that NO YOU CANT. There is no VS compiler that support popular chips like this. Only 3rd party tools like Keil and IAR, and Arduino.
There are extention tools like WinGDB that compile in Linux gcc and funnel the debug info back to VS. But that is it.
Am I missing anything?
If this basic attitude is explained someplace, point me at it. Because I don't get it. And before I get upset, .NETMF is not a native C++ coding solution!
Thanks.
