Workbench approved for i.MX processor applications
The IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM has been evaluated by Synchromesh Computing as part of its Market Ready Validation Programme for Freescale Semiconductor's i.MX applications processors.
Kit kick-starts Cortex development
Starter kit includes free IAR Embedded Workbench KickStart for ARM with Cortex M3 support, enabling full production use with the LM3S102 device.
With the TCP/IP stack module, IAR PowerPac includes everything necessary to add a fully working TCP/IP interface to an ARM device.
IAR PowerPac TCP/IP stack is runtime-configurable and designed to work on any ARM-powered embedded system with an Ethernet controller.
With an ARM7 processor IAR PowerPac, TCP/IP is capable of transfer rates of up to 2.5Mbit/s.
The communication stack is supplied with ready-to-run projects for supported ARM-powered microcontrollers.
Supported protocols include: TCP; IP; UDP; Telnet; ARP; DHCP (client); ICMP; and TFTP.
The stack is optimised to ensure minimum memory consumption and high-speed operation and is connected via a standard BSD socket interface.
It features zero data copy for fast performance and the number of connections is limited only by the available memory.
Zero compile time configuration means that the code can be compiled into a library for use in future projects.
The TCP/IP stack also benefits from the per seat business model.
IAR PowerPac TCP/IP is an add-on software module.
There are no royalties or fees connected to projects, end-user products/product families or production volume.
"The ARM developer now has the power to configure and optimise a communications interface on a wide range of embedded systems from within the familiar development environment IAR Embedded Workbench, which is already the first choice for many developers" Mats Ullstrom, Product Director of IAR Systems, said.
