Gerard Andrews, marketing manager, OMAP, TI, said, "With the enhanced support in ARM RealView tools for TI's digital media processors and OMAP35x applications processors, developers will greatly benefit from reduced development times and the ability to deliver high-performance, low-power applications into the rapidly growing consumer, medical and embedded markets."
According to the company, developers wishing to create an application for a specific TI processor will be able to download a RealView Development Suite 3.1 Professional tool update for their chosen processor. This update will add processor-specific project templates and example code to the Eclipse IDE included in the RealView Development Suite 3.1 Professional.
The processor project templates configure the compilation tools in RealView Development Suite 3.1 Professional to generate optimal code and automatically lay it out in the processor's memory map including (where appropriate) programming on-chip flash. TI processor-specific debug features provide the developer with full visibility and control of on-chip peripherals in a format that can be directly mapped back to the processor's datasheet.
ARM RealView tools enhanced support features for TI’s OMAP35x and digital media processors will be available in Q2 2008 for free via electronic download to new and existing RealView Development Suite 3.1 Professional customers. |
