Hi everyone,

First off, I realize this is off-topic for this mailing list. However I
am not familiar with a better mailing list for getting in touch with
knowledgeable people in this domain. If you know of a better mailing
list for these sorts of questions please feel free to let me know.

I'm trying to sort out the history of (and the relationship between)
various ARM (CortexM) toolchains:
1. Keil
2. armcc
3. gcc-arm-embedded
4. DS-5

The following are a bunch of statements I think are true, but am not
sure. If anyone can clarify or finish any of the following statements I
would appreciate the information:

There was a company called Keil which produced a toolchain called <?>
and its IDE was called uVision.

ARM had its own compiler called armcc which was integrated into its DS-5
product.

In 2005 ARM bought Keil and uses its uVision product as part of DS-5 but
continues to use its own armcc compiler as part of DS-5 (what happened
to Keil's arm compiler?)

gcc-arm-embedded is a toolchain maintained by a group within ARM but the
compiler and the developers have nothing to do with the Keil compiler,
armcc, nor DS-5.

Thanks and best regards,
    Trevor
