Compiler optimized for ARM and Cortex-M devices
Segger has added its new compiler to the popular Embedded Studio for ARM and Cortex-M IDE. This compiler is tuned to generate optimized Thumb-2 code for modern Cortex-A and Cortex-M devices. Embedded Studio for ARM / Cortex-M now comes with three different compilers: GCC, Clang and SEGGER’s own compiler. The new compiler clearly outperforms GCC […]
Embedded controller Floating-Point Library supports RISC-V
Segger’s stand-alone Floating-Point Library has now been extended to include an assembly-optimized variant for RISC-V implementations. The library contains a complete set of high-level mathematical functions that have been written in C, and uses advanced algorithms to maximize performance levels. All of the functionality is fully verified, for both single and double-precision operations. The RISC-V […]
Verification tool for embedded systems includes real-time data acquisition via UART or TCP/IP
Segger announces the release of SystemView V3.10, a major update to its system verification tool for embedded systems. The most significant enhancement is the addition of real-time data acquisition via UAR¬T or TCP/IP. Any system with UART or TCP/IP connection, typically Ethernet, can now be monitored and verified. The new version comes with the target […]
Graphical debugger/performance analyzer adds support for custom instructions
Segger has released Ozone V3.10, a major update to its full-featured graphical debugger and performance analyzer. The new release includes support for custom instructions, allowing disassembly of application-specific instructions added to the CPU core to tailor it for the particular application. Custom instructions are defined in plug-in scripts, which can be easily edited by the […]
Software/hardware building blocks support 32-bit Arm Cortex-M MCUs for IoT apps
Renesas Electronics Corporation announced the first 10 ready-to-use partner solutions that support the Renesas Advanced (RA) microcontroller (MCU) Family of 32-bit Arm Cortex-M MCUs.
