STMicroelectronics today announced ARM Development Studio 5 (DS-5) software development-tool support for its SPEAr300 and SPEAr600 family of embedded MPUs.
ARM DS-5 features an application- and kernel-space debugger with trace, system-wide profiler / performance analyzer, real-time system simulator, and compiler. The tool suite facilitates development and optimization of Linux-based software stacks for ARM-powered systems, shortening development and testing cycles, and helping engineers create resource-efficient software. DS-5 is now available for the SPEAr300 and SPEAr600 product lines.
ST’s SPEAr (Structured Processor Enhanced Architecture) embedded microprocessors combine one or two ARM926EJ-S processors with memory interfaces and IP blocks delivering connectivity, communication, security and audio/video functions for various applications.
