Q&A: Is there Eclipse IDE support for Apollo1?

Full question(s):

AmbiqSuite SDK Getting Started Guide Revision 1.1 on page 15, "9. Eclipse / GCC" has the following description:

"Note: The Eclipse/GCC environment is not operational due to an unforeseen interaction between the IDE and the J-Link GDB Server which has yet to be resolved."

Is there Eclipse IDE support for Apollo1?

Answer(s):

Eclipse IDE is difficult to support because every version of Eclipse behaves slightly differently, and the steps to install and setup Eclipse change frequently. Therefore we no longer provide official support for Eclipse or instructions on installing. However, our Apollo evaluation boards have the industry standard J-Link debug interface, so it is possible to configure Eclipse to work with our Apollo1 using generic online instructions for using J-Link with Eclipse. For customers who are experienced in setting up and using Eclipse this may work well. However, we do not test use of Eclipse IDE with Apollo.
