Arm Development Studio
Specifications
Designed specifically for the Arm architecture, Development Studio is the most comprehensive embedded C/C++ dedicated software development solution with support of multicore debug for Cortex-A, Cortex-R, Cortex–M, and Neoverse Arm CPUs. Uniquely it provides the earliest support for all the latest CPUs and interconnect. Primarily the Arm Debugger is used for validation of SoCs through emulation, simulation, FPGA, and silicon bring-up.
Components
- Arm Compiler for compiling bare-metal embedded applications. Includes support for the latest Arm architectures.
- Arm Compiler for Embedded FuSa to accelerate the building of safety critical code and simplify TÜV SÜD certification process.
- Complete library of reference Fixed Virtual Platforms (FVPs) along with pre-built examples.
- Streamline Performance Analyzer to view of performance for your entire system and generate easy to interpret visualizations.
- Graphics Analyzer to Debug and optimize graphics content by finding and fixing defects and performance issues.
- Entitlement to Keil MDK Professional Edition is included in Silver, Gold, and Platinum editions.
Debugger
Arm Debugger supports Arm software development via IDE or command line interface. Combined with a DSTREAM High-Performance Debug and Trace unit, Arm debugger enables software debug and optimization on Arm processor-based Silicon/FPGA targets. The debugger also supports virtual platforms, such as the supplied FVPs.
