Altium Limited, a global leader in Smart System Design Automation, 3D PCB design and embedded software development announces its Software Platform, delivering ultra rapid prototyping and development for ARM Cortex-M based microcontrollers, at an unparalleled attractive cost level. The Software Platform - which Altium will be showcasing at the ARM TechCon Conference - includes a comprehensive range of middleware functionalities, such as an RTOS, CAN, USB, TCP/IP, I2C, HTTP(S), file systems, graphical user interface, and touch panel control.
Building an application with the new Software Platform is both simple and fast. Through a few mouse clicks within the Eclipse based IDE, the developer can put the middleware framework of an application together. After selecting the desired middleware options and the Cortex-M based microcontroller for the project, the Software Platform generates the code that delivers the required functionality. All that is left for the developer is the design of the application software, which then is easily integrated with the generated code.
The Software Platform is not only straightforward to use, but it also enables the developer to switch the Cortex-M microcontroller easily, both within the family of a particular semiconductor vendor as well as across vendors. The Software Builder takes care of collecting the middleware functionalities and the low-level drivers for the microcontroller, after which the code framework is generated and then compiled with the application code.
The Software Builder is seamlessly integrated into the TASKING VX-toolset, which includes a C/C++ compiler, debugger and an Eclipse based IDE. The complete offering is very competitively priced, with all Software Platform functionalities, including the software development tools made available at the cost of a traditional development toolset.
“Altium is making a huge step forward in delivering a comprehensive ARM Cortex-M development suite” says Harm-Andre Verhoef, TASKING Product Manager at Altium. “The ARM developer significantly saves on cost of development tools and middleware functionalities, and also on development time. Putting an embedded application together is a breeze through our single vendor middleware offering, with guaranteed compatibility with our compiler.” |
| A propos de cette entreprise: |
In 1985, when we introduced our first product, we were one of the
first to harness the newly arrived IBM-compatible personal
computers for electronics design tasks. In 1991, before Microsoft
Windows became the standard PC operating system, we released the
world's first Windows-based printed circuit board (PCB) design
software. In 1998 we introduced Protel-98, the first software
package to handle all core electronics design tasks in a single
integrated application.
In 2005 we introduced Altium Designer which redefined electronics
design tools. In addition to supporting the design of printed
circuit boards, the core of electronics systems, it also included
integrated design tools for the rapidly emerging programmable
hardware in electronics systems. This culminated in the world's
first unified electronics design solution. Since then, we have
introduced a number of world-first innovations. These include the
first "plug-n-play" vendor-independent reconfigurable development
board, and the first 3D electronics design features to dynamically
link electronics designs to mechanical designs.
