IDE eases debugging of RTOS-based embedded designs

3 October 2012 Design Automation

Atollic announced the availability of TrueSTUDIO for ARM v3.2, the latest version of its integrated development environment for embedded microcontroller designs.

In addition to a significant increase in the number of target devices now supported, the new release introduces native RTOS-aware debugging for leading RTOSs such as FreeRTOS, OpenRTOS, ThreadX and embOS. It also provides an integrated interface to the Micrium uC/Probe tool that provides RTOS-aware debugging for the uC/OS-III RTOS.

RTOS-aware debugging greatly eases the task of debugging an RTOS-based embedded development. It achieves this by presenting the software engineer with insight into the RTOS status, such as message queues and tasks, along with other information that will help them to have a better understanding of how their application is being handled within the RTOS.

Support for over 200 new target devices has been included in this new release. The new additions include the STMicroelectronics STM32F3 family, Freescale Kinetis L series, ARM Cortex-A class application processors and many new Fujitsu microcontrollers.

In addition, support has been added for a number of new evaluation and development boards including the Freescale Freedom range and those for the STMicroelectronics STM32 micro-controller series. In total, Atollic TrueSTUDIO v3.2 now provides support for over 1000 ARM-based microcontrollers and more than 70 evaluation boards. An integrated GUI client for the Git version control system has also been added.
