emIDE
emIDE is based on Codeblocks (codeblocks.org), GCC ARM and SEGGER's J-Link debugger as hardware interface, it is easy to use, fast, powerful and quite intuitive. The IDE's look and feel is similar to Microsoft's Visual studio and NOT Eclipse based. In comparison to professional IDEs supporting J-Link, some features are basic such as memory and register window, but it is fully usable. With J-Link, programs can easily be downloaded into RAM or Flash and fully debugged. emIDE comes with sample projects for ARM7 and Cortex-M devices.
