Enhanced Support in ARM RealView Development Suite 3.1 Professional Significantly Reduces Initial Development Time and Ensures Optimal Tools Configuration for Specific TI Processors

CAMBRIDGE, England, February 26/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — ARMtoday announced at the Texas Instruments Developer Conference (TIDC), Dallas, Texas, that the ARM RealView family of development tools will provide enhanced support for the Texas Instruments’ (TI) DaVinci technology and OMAP35x platform, including the recently-released DaVinci TMS320DM355 digital media processor and OMAP35x processors. The enhanced support automatically configures the RealView development tools for specific TI processors enabling software developers to rapidly begin developing high-performance applications using supplied example code and project templates. Enhanced debug support provides full visibility and control of the processor’s on-chip peripherals as well as automatic placement of code in the processors memory map.

“TI has long relied upon ARM to deliver low risk development tool solutions that provide ease-of-use and optimum performance,” said Gerard Andrews, OMAP marketing manager, TI. “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.”

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 automatically configure the compilation tools in the 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 is committed to providing its extensive ecosystem of Partners with the resources they need to stay one step ahead of market demands, and with RealView development tools we are able to lend our support to a leading technology company like TI,” said John Cornish, vice president of marketing, System Design Division, ARM. “With RealView tool support for the DaVinci and OMAP35x processors, ARM will empower developers to meet the feature and performance requirements associated with efficiently delivering quality products into the mobile and consumer markets.”
