Red Suite v1.6.2 Speeds Software Development For ARM Cortex

Code Red and WITTENSTEIN have collaborated to speed software development for new-generation 32-bit microcontrollers, including the ARM  Cortex-M3.

Red Suite v1.6.2 professional development environment, from Code Red, integrates WITTENSTEIN Eclipse based ‘State Viewer’ plug-in, delivering rapid board bring-up and simple debugging of RTOS based projects on Cortex-M3 and other new-generation 32-bit microcontrollers, the companies said.

The extension of the Eclipse based IDE to include WITTENSTEIN’s RTOS ‘State Viewer’ plug-in, delivers enhanced kernel awareness and visualization of the task-switching performance of the RTOS for faster development and debugging, the companies said.
Red Suite v1.6.2 also introduces other features which support the latest 32-bit microcontrollers including a Flash programmer uses Code Red’s high-speed FLASHing algorithms to enable rapid and flexible target programming of any file, whilst advanced run-control and tracing, through SWD, SWV, or JTAG, are provided by Red Trace through the Red Probe target link.
