Atollic release new professional C/C++ development tools for Atmel AT91SAM

Description

JÖNKÖPING, Sweden – June 16, 2010 - Atollic today announced the world-wide release of Atollic TrueSTUDIO®/AT91SAM, a new highly integrated and cost-effective professional C/C++ development tool for the AT91SAM Cortex-M3 devices from Atmel.

Atollic TrueSTUDIO® is the premier development tool for professional Cortex-M3 development, and is already used by thousands of developers world-wide. Noteworthy features in Atollic TrueSTUDIO®/AT91SAM include:
• A professional IDE with state-of-the-art editing and code navigation features
• A project wizard instantly auto-generates AT91SAM projects
• C/C++ build and debug tools for both ARM and x86 development
• Support for AT91SAM Cortex-M3 devices and evaluation boards
• Support for the AT91SAM-ICE and many 3rd party JTAG probes
• Parallel compilation and multiprocessor debugging
• Integrated graphical UML diagram editors for model based design & architecture
• Integration with many bug database systems and version control systems
• Features for source code review & code review meetings
• Excellent target support, including an SFR (peripheral register) view

Atollic TrueSTUDIO® is based on the ECLIPSE™ IDE framework, and include a C/C++ compiler and debugger for the ARM cores, as well as a C/C++ compiler and debugger for Windows PC’s.
“With Atollic TrueSTUDIO, professional AT91SAM developers can increase their efficiency to a completely new level” says Magnus Unemyr, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Atollic and adds that “Atollic TrueSTUDIO includes an unprecedented feature-set with unrivalled integration”.
Atollic TrueSTUDIO® is designed for quick startup and maximum productivity. A target specific project wizard generates embedded projects automatically, with dynamic adaptations for the board or microcontroller derivative to be used. A full device driver library is generated automatically as well.
Modern software engineering practices promote testing algorithms in isolation from other factors such as the embedded hardware platform. Additionally, developers may want to do preliminary development in a familiar environment before embedded hardware is designed and debugged. For this reason, Atollic TrueSTUDIO® contains both an ARM compiler and debugger, as well as an x86 compiler and debugger. Developers can do initial development and testing in a familiar PC environment before moving code modules onto the embedded system.

On-target debugging is a critical factor in embedded development. The built-in debugger in Atollic TrueSTUDIO® contains all execution control features expected, from a contemporary state-of-the-art solution with features such as complex code and data breakpoints, browsing of complex data types, CPU and SFR register visualization etc. For maximum flexibility, Atollic TrueSTUDIO® supports JTAG debug probes from many third party suppliers. Atollic TrueSTUDIO® fully supports multiprocessor debugging and scripting of advanced debugging tasks as well.
Atollic TrueSTUDIO® has been designed from the ground up to support multi-developer, multi-site team collaboration. Atollic TrueSTUDIO® seamlessly integrates GUI clients for many popular version control systems and bug database systems. Most version control system features can be accessed right from inside the C/C++ environment. In a similar manner, GUI clients for many different bug databases (such as Trac, Bugzilla, Mantis, and JIRA) are fully integrated into the C/C++ IDE. Furthermore, Atollic TrueSTUDIO® is the first embedded systems development tool to integrate features for source code review & code review meetings.

Atollic TrueSTUDIO® is different from other C/C++ IDEs because it supports end-to-end applications development rather than just the code development portion. Atollic TrueSTUDIO® incorporates requirements capture, design, architecture and documentation using the UML modeling language directly into the IDE. Atollic TrueSTUDIO® includes a number of highly integrated graphical diagram editors for most of the UML diagram types, such as class diagrams, state-machine diagrams, message sequence charts, etc. Both static structure and dynamic behavior can thus be modeled graphically using Atollic TrueSTUDIO®.
A free Lite version is available for download from the Atollic website (www.atollic.com). The Lite version includes a powerful IDE as well as build and debug tools for the ARM devices. Furthermore, the free Lite version have no code-size limitation or usage-time limitation, and is thus a zero-cost starting point for professional AT91SAM development. Video tutorials covering the usage of the products are available at the Atollic website (www.atollic.com/index.php/videotutorials) as well.
