The release of IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM version 5.50 goes well beyond the usual incremental improvements and new device support. Certainly there is all that (Read entire post…)

Magnus Unemyr, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Atollic AB has recently had a very descriptive article on TrueSTUDIO C/C++ development tools published at http://www.embedded.com/design/224000049

Check it out.

Also, keep an eye on their video tutorials page at: http://www.atollic.com/index.php/videotutorials - there will be a new video on the topic of code coverage posted on Tuesday, 23 March 2010.

Here is some useful advice if you want to familiarizing yourself with Atollic TrueSTUDIO® Lite for the ST Microelectronics STM32 family of controllers. You will need the following:  (Read entire post…)

Atollic TrueSTUDIO® is a new C/C++ integrated development environment for ARM based on theEclipse™ environment. So you might be thinking, what does the world need with yet another ARM development toolchain? (Read entire post…)

Ashling’s Opella-XDS100v2 is an Entry-level Debug Probe for embedded development on Texas Instruments (TI) Processor and DSP platforms. Opella-XDS100v2 is designed to work with TI’s Code Composer Studio

Readers of previous blog entries know that we at Joral Technologies are very big on the ARM Cortex M3 architecture. Among the many reasons for this is the superior debugging capabilities afforded by the CoreSight debug architecture. How do you like the idea of monitoring variable values in real time without stealing clock cycles or implementing instrumentation. Watch this space for our upcoming piece on Cortex M3 debugging where we will discuss and elucidate SWD, SWV, SWO, ETM and all the other debugging acronyms that developers should know about.

Embedded applications developers face considerable challenges in today’s environment. Ever increasing application complexity is being driven by enhanced product feature requirements. Time is always tight in development schedules. Bill of materials cost is more important than every. Silicon vendors have responded with parts that are faster, more highly integrated, have expanded memory resources and consume less power. Hardware engineers have more and more options to solve problems, but what about software developers?  (Read entire post…)

Introduction

The state of the art in microcontroller technology has evolved to a very high plateau in the short history of embedded systems. Still, further evolution is necessary because of  driving factors such as higher performance, lower cost, greater integration, and lower power consumption. Although the above are key selection criteria, a less heralded but nonetheless important factor to consider is ease of software development.
