Enhanced Support in ARM RealView Development Suite 3.1 Professional
Significantly Reduces Development Time and Ensures Optimal Tools
Configuration for Express Logic RTOS Portfolio CAMBRIDGE, England,
April 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARM (LSE:ARM) (NASDAQ:ARMH)
today announced at the Embedded Systems Conference, San Jose,
California, that working in collaboration with Express Logic, the
ARM(R) RealView(R) family of development tools will provide
enhanced support for the Express Logic ThreadX(R) RTOS portfolio.
The enhanced support automatically configures the RealView
development tools for ThreadX RTOS development enabling software
developers to rapidly begin developing high-performance real-time
applications using supplied example code and project templates for
the Eclipse IDE. Enhanced debug support provides full visibility
and control of the RTOS threads and resources with the ability to
debug applications in stop and run mode. "Working together with
ARM, we were able to deliver an outstanding out-of-box experience
for ThreadX development in RealView Development Suite 3.1
Professional," said John Carbone, vice president of marketing,
Express Logic. "By leveraging the Eclipse platform, developers can
now build and deploy complete ThreadX applications faster than ever
before." Developers wishing to create an application using ThreadX
will be able to download a RealView Development Suite 3.1
Professional tool update from the Express Logic website. This
update will add ThreadX-specific project templates and example code
to the Eclipse IDE included in the RealView Development Suite 3.1
Professional. The ThreadX project templates automatically configure
the compilation tools in the RealView Development Suite 3.1
Professional to link with an optimized ThreadX library.
ThreadX-specific debug features provide the developer with full
visibility and control of RTOS resources within the application.
Software evaluation and development can begin prior to hardware
availability using the included ultra high-performance RealView
Real-Time System Models of complete ARM development boards that are
targeted by the ThreadX RTOS. "The Eclipse IDE forms strong and
extensible foundation for our development tools easily enabling
this kind of innovative collaboration between the two companies,"
said Mark Onions, director of marketing, System Design Division,
ARM. "Our mutual customers benefit from a resulting toolchain that
is tailored specifically for ThreadX development." About RealView
Development Suite 3.1 Professional The ARM RealView Development
Suite 3.1 Professional is a complete, end-to-end solution for
software development supporting all ARM processors and ARM
CoreSight(TM) debug technology. This full-featured product enables
