DS-5 configuration for Cortex-M7

I'm starting my very first project with arm device. Concretely, I'd like to do some image processing on the cortex-M7 programming in C/C++. I got the DS-5 community working just fine and I'm following the basic Hello World tutorial in here: https://developer.arm.com/products/software-development-tools/ds-5-development-studio/resources/tutorials/getting-started-with-ds-5-ce-and-armv8-foundation-platform

I'm struggling to accomplish the following:

  1. Get the right toolchain: I got arm-eabi 2.24 from here(http://gnutoolchains.com/download/). Is this what I'm supposed to use? should I use arm-elf instead?
  2. In the tutorial, it describes how to create a debug configuration for a cortex-A9 device. However, I have a cortex-M7. I know I can add a new configuration database from Window>Preferences>DS-5>ConfigurationDatabase. Where can I find the database files for the cortex-M7? I believe those files are available somewhere in the arm site but I can't find them.

Sorry if these questions aren't so interesting... I'm new to this and I need these two problems to be solved in order to start doing some actual work.

You may have trouble with the tutorial you are following as the Cortex-M7 is a ARMv7E-M architecture and not ARMv8. - Realtime Rik

If you have ARM DS-5 license, you can send email to [email protected] for support.

Actually, these kind of questions can be answered from articles of Arm public web sites.
