Atollic TrueStudio ARM embedded systems development tools

Click2Contact

Atollic has extended its offering for embedded systems development tools with TrueStudio for ARM.

It is a development and debugging tool that offers an editor, an optimising C/C++ compiler and a multiprocessor-aware debugger with real-time tracing.

Now supporting ARM processor-based microcontrollers from many semiconductor manufacturers, the tool suite delivers a leap in software development team collaboration and developer productivity and offers features including ARM build and debug tools, serial wire viewer tracing and graphical UML diagram editors for model-based design and architecture.

Also available to ARM developers are the company’s professional code-quality analysis and test-automation toolbox.

This release offers generic support for multiple ARM CPU cores, including: ARM7, ARM9, Cortex-M0, Cortex-M1, Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 processors.

Additionally, it includes device-specific support for a list of ARM processor-based microcontroller families, including: Atmel AT91SAM, EnergyMicro EFM32, Freescale Kinetis, Fujitsu FM3, STMicroelectronics STM32, Texas Instruments Stellaris and Toshiba TX.

The tool also offers multiple features, such as: an Eclipse-based IDE with an editor; x86 C/C++ build and debug tools for development of PC command-line applications; parallel compilation and multiprocessor debugging; and integrated version-control system client with revision graph visualisation, enabling tracing of the history of code additions and revisions.

Additionally, it includes an integrated client for accessing bug databases like Trac and Bugzilla, and it includes integrated features for performing source code reviews and code review meetings.

Included within the software bundle, and seamlessly integrated, are demonstration versions of optional add-on products that provide professional code quality analysis and test automation. These are TrueInspector, which performs static source code analysis, providing source code metrics and MISRA-C:2004 coding standard compliance control.

TrueAnalyzer performs dynamic execution flow analysis and provides rigorous test-quality measurements to the same level as typically required for flight-safety-critical software.

TrueVerifier provides embedded test automation by performing source code analysis and auto-generate unit tests. The additional features are enabled by purchasing a key that unlocks these optional add-on products.
