Using ARM DS-5 with Eclipse

I am trying to do some embedded programming for an online course. The IDE I had to use does not have a Linux version, so I am planning to use the ARM DS-5. It says it can be used with eclipse but I cannot figure out how to get them to work. I have Ubuntu 14.04. I read somewhere that the ARM-DS-5 wouldn't work with anything newer than indigo but that was from 2012 and am not sure how accurate that is now. Any help would be great.

Solution

Depending on the use-case, you can pick one the three DS-5 variants.

Community Edition
- Free to use.
- Allows Linux library/app debug using GNU tools.
- Comes in two flavors - Eclipse Plugin and Full Fledged IDE.
Professional Edition
- 30 days free evaluation.
- Allows bare-metal (no OS) and Linux kernel and app debug.
- Comes with ARM compiler, debugger along with GNU tools.
- Comes with FVP, ARM's virtual hardware, allowing development without real hardware.
Ultimate edition
- Everything in the Professional edition plus support for ARMv8, the ARM's architecture with 64-bit support.

Note there is only one DS-5 IDE installer, which is available for download here. The variant is decided based on type of license chosen. So if you download DS-5 Ultimate for 30-day eval, it can converted to Community edition by changing the license at the end of eval period.
