DS-5 PRO Development Studio plus DSTREAM Debugger Bundle
ARM DS-5 Development Studio enables developers to get the best from their ARM processor based systems. Whether you part of a team developing your own SoC, or using an off-the-shelf device, DS-5 supports your design process and bring-up. The DSTREAM debugger is an FPGA based debugger for debugging LINUX/Android on any ARM processor. This product is a bundle of a node locked/floating license of DS-5 and a DSTREAM.
ARM DS-5 Development Studio enables developers to get the best from their ARM processor based systems. Whether you part of a team developing your own SoC, or using an off-the-shelf device, DS-5 supports your design process and bring-up.
With a powerful Eclipse-based IDE, comprising C/C editor, ARM Compiler 5, DS-5 Debugger and Streamline performance analyzer, DS-5 enables you to develop software for ARM processors, ranging from bare-metal and RTOS to Linux and Android.
The ARM DSTREAM High-Performance Debug and Trace unit enables powerful software debug and optimization on any ARM processor-based hardware target. With features such as accelerated hardware bring-up for many development platforms and open debug interface for use with third-party tools, DSTREAM is a comprehensive solution for development and debug of complex SoCs when paired with DS-5 Development Studio.
DS-5 Professional Edition includes the following component tools:
ARM Compiler 5
Producing highly optimized machine code, ideal for bare-metal and RTOS development, ARM Compiler 5 represents the industry standard and has been developed for over 20 years alongside the ARM Architecture. For safety critical automotive and industrial automation applications, ARM Compiler 5 is supported with a safety qualification kit to assist you in compliance for IEC 61508/ISO 26262. For Linux development, DS-5 also includes the Linaro GCC toolchain, giving you compilation tools for any application.
DS-5 Debugger
Whether it’s a Cortex-M3 or multicore Cortex-A15 SoC, DS-5 gives you high-performance debug and trace tools which help you analyze and fix bugs. For complete system visibility, trace can be collected via DSTREAM, the ARM JTAG debug probe. Linux (kernel and user space) and Android debugging is supported with GDB integration, whilst Application Rewind help you to debug code in reverse, to find bugs after your program has crashed. Many off-the-shelf processors and development boards are supported in DS-5, meaning you can plug in and debug without needing to do any complex configuration.
Streamline Performance Analyzer
Building on low-intrusiveness sampling technology, Streamline features an industry leading graphical interface that presents information ranging from system-wide performance counters to hotspots in the source code, making it easy for developers to identify performance bottlenecks, multi-threading issues and general inefficient resource usage. From a high-level system wide view, you can drill down to individual functions and lines of source code, to identify exactly where your CPU is spending time.
Fixed Virtual Platforms (FVPs)
FVPs are a programmer’s view model of a complete ARM system, making it possible to develop software for ARM without using a development board. DS-5 includes Cortex-A8 and quad-core Cortex-A9 FVPs, along with a wide range of examples to run on them
