GNU Arm embedded toolchain

I don’t want to pay for Keil IDE. If I use GNU Arm embedded toolchain to compile the firmware, will the performance be good enough to process images at 50fps?

Thanks

Hello,
We are not actively supporting the GNU toolchain since we released PIxy2. Pixy2 relies on the Keil optimizer for the line tracking algorithm.

Sorry, I just realized we are not using Pixy2. We are using the first pixy v1 instead. Is Keil still need for v1? I plan to use LPCXpresso IDE to build the firmware for pixy1 if possible. thanks

Hello,
You can check out the Pixy Firmware SDK:
https://groups.google.com/g/pixy_firmware_sdk

It focuses on LPCXpresso (gcc) and Pixy1.
