Using arm-elf-run

...to simulate ARM code with WinARM/ARM-GCC

arm-elf-run is a part of GDB and is included in WinARM and the ARM-GCC packages from mikrocontroller.net.

main.c:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
  puts("Hello World");

  return 0;
}

newlib-syscalls.c

# Compile
arm-elf-gcc -o main.elf -g main.c newlib-syscalls.c

# Run
arm-elf-run main.elf
Hello World!

# Debug
arm-elf-gdb main.elf
(gdb) target sim
