Compiler/CC2540: IAR

Part Number: CC2540
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2541

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Hi Everyone! Thanks in advance for your answers.

I am creating a new mens wrist watch. I like the cc2540 BLE capabilities. Unfortunately I do not have the budget to buy the license to IAR Embedded for ARM. I am used to writing code in a code editor like Atom and compiling from the command-line. I have 20 years of experience in Java, C, C++, Python, and some assembly languages.

My project needs to do this using the cc2540:

1) Provide pass-through USB connections from a Mac or PC laptop to a 2560 MCU, for AVRdude, Arduino IDE, Arduino Serial Monitor

2) Provide serial data transfer services from an app running on an iOS and Android device to the 2560 MCU.

3) Provide pairing with an iOS and Android device, both ad-hoc and permanently

I'm wondering if I could use gcc or something else to compile programs for the cc2540?
