 | | Mentor Embedded Sourcery CodeBench, a next-generation Integrated Development Environment (IDE) based on the open-source GNU toolchain |
| As multicore technology invades the embedded space, development tools vendors are updating their products to enhance the performance of multithreaded code. For example, Mentor Graphics recently announced Mentor Embedded Sourcery CodeBench, a next-generation Integrated Development Environme... |
| With today’s SoCs increasing in complexity, it’s no wonder the software needed to run on these devices is taking longer to create, adapt, and optimize for a given application on a given piece of hardware. No question practices and methodologies behind system design need to change. |
| Sourcery G++(tm) product, a software development environment based on the GNU Toolchain, is a leading choice of software engineers, operating system vendors, semiconductor companies, and device manufacturers. Sourcery VSIPL++(tm) product, a portable, parallel signal- and image-processing toolkit, boosts performance and increases productivity for radar, sonar, and imaging applications. |
| The ReadyStart Platform tightly integrates the Mentor Graphics(r) Nucleus Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) with the Inflexion Platform(tm) user interface (UI) runtime engine for 2D, 2.5D and 3D graphics and wired and wireless connectivity middleware. The ReadyStart Platform provides a single distribution to accelerate fast "bring-up" of a complete system, including a board support package (BSP) interface for TI’s Stellaris family of MCUs, and power management services to optimize low-power design. |
| In order to maximize performance, ARM now includes an optimized memory BIST bus and interface that provides external access to all memories contained within the processor core. |
| Few doubt that Linux[ ] now dominates the embedded systems marketplace. Linux has found its way into nearly every product segment, from consumer electronics to the “big iron” boxes used to power global wireless and landline networks. It is not a stretch of one’s imagination to assume that many modern households have one or more Linux-powered appliances. |
| Embedded considerations for using USB in a design are split between need to implement functionality as a peripheral device, a host, or both. This was addressed in the On-The-Go (OTG) supplement to the USB 2.0 specification. |
| In C and C++, it can be very convenient to allocate and de-allocate blocks of memory as and when needed. This is certainly standard practice in both languages and almost unavoidable in C++. However, the handling of such dynamic memory can be problematic and inefficient. For desktop applications, where memory is freely available, these difficulties can be ignored. For real-time embedded systems, ignoring the issues is not an option. |
| Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) announced that it has signed a multi-year strategic partnership agreement with Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. naming Mentor Graphics as a key Freescale strategic commercial Linux[] partner. |
