ARM® Compiler 6 is the compilation toolchain for the ARM architecture, available in MDK Version 5. ARM Compiler 6 brings together the modern LLVM compiler infrastructure and the highly optimized ARM C libraries to produce performance and power optimized embedded software for the ARM architecture. Efficient code generation, better diagnostics, and faster feature development. Since ARM Compiler 6 is based on a new technology it is only partially compatible with previous ARM Compiler Versions (5 and before). This application note guides to port your application source code, compiler settings and make best use of new compiler optimizations and diagnosis facilities.
