Actel has today announced the availability of SoftConsole version 2.2, the next-generation free development environment for embedded design.
This new version includes enhanced capabilities for debug and the downloading of programs, including a new Flash loader, and support for the Microsoft Vista operating system.
Leveraging Actel’s IGLOO low-power FPGAs and Actel Fusion mixed-signal FPGAs, SoftConsole is a single programming environment that enables software engineers to write and debug C and C++ programs targeted at Actel’s portfolio of embedded processors, including ARM Cortex-M1 and Core8051s.
SoftConsole version 2.2 is based on familiar and widely used open-source tools, including the CodeSourcery ARM7 and Cortex-M1 GNU C Compilers (GCC) and GNU Debugger (GDB), Eclipse IDE and 8051 Small Device C Compiler (SDCC). This complete, comprehensive and free development environment works seamlessly with Actel’s Libero Integrated Design Environment, development kits, and FlashPro3 programmer.
