Segger adds instruction simulator to Embedded Studio for Arm
An instruction set simulator has been added to the latest version of Embedded Studio for Arm by Segger, adding to the compiler, linker and runtime support for Arm65 to generate and debug Arm64 programs for devices, including the Cortex-A53, Cortex-A57, and Cortex-A72.
Adding the simulator brings Arm64 support to the same level as all other architectures supported by Embedded Studio which is available on Linux, macOS, and Windows on Arm, Intel and Apple Silicon.
The simulator can help users become familiar with a new architecture, explained Segger. Embedded Studio allows user to generate programs and execute them in the simulator, download, install and operate in a matter of minutes.
Segger’s licensing model allows software to be used for evaluation, educational and non-commercial purposes, free of charge, with no restrictions in terms of code size, features or duration of use.
