RealView Development Suite – ARM

The ARM® RealView® Development Suite (RVDS) is a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for software development that supports all ARM® processors and ARM debug technology. RealView Development Suite offers the best ARM C/C++ compiler and support the most advanced debug technology available today for bringing up the latest SoC and ASIC designs.

Thousands of customers trust ARM’s powerful, proven RealView development tools to deliver the highest return for the lowest risk on their ARM processor-based ASIC, SoC, and FPGA designs.Today, the majority of the four billion ARM Powered® devices worldwide have software created with RealView tools. Investing in the ARM tools solution is the clear choice for a safe, reliable and high-performance design.

New Features of RealView Development Suite 3.1:

• Microlib C run-time library, optimized for minimum code size
• Intrinsics support for ARM DSP instruction set extensions, ETSI functions and TI C55x DSPs
• Enhanced support for the ARM CoreSightTM on-chip debug and trace technology, which enables multiple trace streams and reduced pin count for debug and trace
• Performance improvements and tuning for ARM processor support, including enhanced optimization for the complete CortexTM family of processors, including the Cortex-M1 processor, the first ARM processor designed for implementation in FPGA

Code Warrior Development Tools – Freescale

CodeWarrior Development Studio is a complete Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that provides a highly visual and automated framework to accelerate the development of the most complex embedded applications.

The single development environment of the CodeWarrior Development Studio is consistent across all supported workstations and personal computers within an organization. Its features and usage remains identical across the supported platforms. There is no need to worry about host-to-host incompatibilities. Learn once, use everywhere.

The CodeWarrior Development Studio contains all the tools needed to complete a major embedded development project.

From Text Editors to Compilers and Debuggers, CodeWarrior Development Studio provides everything the professional embedded developer needs:

• CodeWarrior C/C++ Compiler Suite
• Runtime Libraries
• Assembler
• Standard Template Library (STL)

The CodeWarrior development tools are now sold in suites. By purchasing a suite entitlement, you are able to register for any or all of the CodeWarrior products contained within that suite. This allows you to gain access to Freescale's entire portfolio of CodeWarrior tools across the suite you purchase.

BenchX - Express Logic

Express Logic’s BenchX™ Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a full –featured, Eclipse-based tools solution for embedded systems. The Eclipse community’s efforts have ushered in a new generation of IDEs and tools that can be adapted for use with embedded systems.

Express Logic’s BenchX, its own new Eclipse-based Integrated Development Environment, is tailored for embedded development, and supports the ARM, PowerPC, ColdFire, and MIPS processor architectures.

BenchX includes GNU C/C++ compilers, a graphical debugger, an instruction set simulator, and a USB or Ethernet target connection probe for download and debug. This fully-integrated, complete tools package can be used as-is, or further enhanced with Eclipse plug-in compilers such as ARM’s RealView , Freescale’s CodeWarrior , MIPS’ SDE, IAR’s Embedded Workbench, or any of the many Eclipse community plug-ins that provide additional functionality.

BenchX includes kernel-aware debugger support for Express Logic’s ThreadX RTOS, but it can be used for development using any other RTOS, or no RTOS at all. Best of all, BenchX is very affordable, and requires no license keys.
