When Arm® Forge starts, the Welcome Page displays, in which you can select the tool you would like to use (Arm® DDT or Arm® MAP). Arm® Performance Reports can be run using the command line. Use the icons on the left-hand side to switch between Arm® MAP and Arm® DDT.

Note
To pipe input directly to the program, you must operate Arm® Forge in Express Launch mode. For information about how to send input to your program, see Program input and output or Run MAP from the command line.
Note
In Express Launch mode (see Arm® DDT or Arm® MAP), the Welcome Page does not display. Instead, Arm® Forge directly displays the Run dialog. If no valid license is found, the program exits and the appropriate message displays in the console output.
