*Hi LINARO-TEAM,*

I would like start a software development on a “Renesas RZ (ARM Cortex-A9) MPU (R7S721010xxx” by using Eclipse IDE (Kepler - 4.3.1).

Global objective = Use free SW development tools

I have read, that the “Linaro GCC Toolchain Release Supports Full Range of ARM Cortex-A Processors” and it’s an open source software for the ARM architecture, including the GCC toolchain.

Well – I think that is what I need.

So, I have installed the Linaro Toolchain (gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_7-2013q3-20130916-win32.exe) and test the compilation of the “*Hello World ARM C Project*” for the Target Processor “cortex-A9”

So, the compilation is OK.

*NOW, I would like prepare a small TEST-Project with FreeRTOS.*

FreeRTOSV8.0.0_Release_Candidate_2

I have found the “Renesas RZ (ARM Cortex-A9) RTOS Demo”:

http://www.freertos.org/Renesas_RZ_Cortex-A9-RTOS.html

But the two projects are provided to be built with the* IAR Embedded Workbench http://www.iar.com/ewarm* or the *ARM DS-5 http://arm.com/products/tools/software-tools/ds-5/index.php embedded development tools*.

I have seen that the DS-5 Development Studio is not for free but it use

also the Linaro GNU Compiler (GCC) toolchain.

So, I have tried to import the “Renesas RZ (ARM Cortex-A9) RTOS Demo” project to Eclipse, *but the import doesn’t work – and I’m not sure that the project uses the Linaro GNU GCC Compiler**.*

I think that Demo project for DS-5 use also special plugins/configuration

settings from the Development Studio – so this can’t work ?!…

*HELP:*

*I’m new in the “Eclipse IDE / Compiler (GCC) toolchain” WORLD … *

So, can you help me to give me a good direction - *what I need to do *to make running this small “Blinky-Demo for Renesas RZ (ARM Cortex-A9) with the FreeRTOS” by using the Linaro GCC Toolchain.

Or have you another small Demo project for the Linaro GCC Toolchain which

uses the FreeRTOS for the Renesas RZ (ARM Cortex-A9) family?

… Or you think that is not easily possible to do that for a Newcomer like me?

I hope that you can help me to put me on the right road.
