Segger’s Embedded Studio has 64bit support for Arm cores
The latest release of Embedded Studio, SEGGER’s all-in-one IDE solution for building embedded applications now comes with support for ARMv8-A CPUs, such as Cortex-A53, Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A72.
Embedded Studio includes all the tools and features needed for professional embedded C and C++ programming and development. It is supplied with Segger’s optimised emRun runtime and emFloat floating point libraries, as well as the company’s smart Linker, all of which have been developed from the ground up specifically for embedded systems, said Segger. The company added that in combination with the optimising C/C++ Segger Compiler, extremely small yet efficient programs can be generated.
“We see a migration to 64-bit cores, even for a typical embedded application, simply because many modern SoCs and FPGAs use them,” says Ivo Geilenbruegge, managing director of Segger. “This makes support for Arm64 important for our customer base. We continue to keep our products cutting-edge and multi-platform for everything from small microcontrollers up to devices with multiple Arm Cortex-A 64-bit cores. One IDE fits all!”
Embedded Studio’s built-in debugger natively supports J-Link, for automated testing and, with its integration of the GDB remote protocol, also enables the use of third-party debug probes.
Embedded Studio is available for unlimited evaluation, and for educational and non-commercial purposes, free of charge, with no restrictions in terms of code size, features or duration of use.
Segger Microcontroller has three decades of experience in embedded systems, producing RTOS and software libraries, J-Link and J-Trace debug and trace probes, a line of Flasher in-system programmers and software development tools.
Its emPower OS provides an RTOS with communication, security, data compression and storage, user interface software libraries.
The company was founded by Rolf Segger in 1992, is privately held, with a US office in the Boston area and branch operations in Silicon Valley, Shanghai and the UK, and a distribution network.
