Cypress Semiconductor has teamed up with Keil, the tools division of ARM, to deliver high-performance compiler options for the PSoC Creator IDE for the PSoC 3 and PSoC 5 programmable system-on-chip architectures.
PSoC Creator enables engineers to design the way they think, using schematic-based design capture along with certified, pre-packaged peripherals to keep system creation independent of the target PSoC device. It is bundled with free Keil CA51 compiler for PSoC 3 and the GNU GCC-ARM compiler for PSoC 5. In addition, the new Keil μVision4 IDE and debugger are available for use with the Cypress PSoC 3 and PSoC 5 devices. The flexible window management system introduced in μVision4 enables developers to use multiple monitors and provides complete control over window placement anywhere on the visual surface.
For the new Cypress PSoC 5 devices based on the ARM Cortex-M3 processor, Keil offers an upgrade to the full version of its microcontroller development kit, MDK-ARM. MDK-ARM features the compiler from ARM and sophisticated debug and trace capabilities that use the advanced features of the Cortex-M3 processor in the PSoC 5 device. For the Cypress PSoC 3 devices based on the industry standard 8051, Keil offers an upgrade to the full version of its professional development kit for the 8051 architecture, PK51.
