Mentor Graphics has developed Embedded Sourcery CodeBench, a next-generation integrated development environment (IDE) based on the open source GNU toolchain. The technology provides embedded developers with a powerful and easy-to-use tool suite for developing and optimising systems based on a broad range of devices from the most advanced microprocessors to microcontrollers.
Sourcery CodeBench incorporates technologies which Mentor acquired from Code Sourcery in November last year. The tool introduces new support for the NetLogic Microsystems XLP multicore processor, Freescale Kinetis and Xilinx Zynq. The Sourcery CodeBench product is integrated with the Mentor Embedded Sourcery Probes and third-party probes.
The comprehensive tool suite comprises an IDE based on Eclipse, the Eclipse C/C++ development tools and compilers, and GNU toolchain, including an assembler, linker, runtime libraries, and source-level and assembly-level debuggers. Containing all of the tools needed to build and debug embedded applications, the product is integrated with the Sourcery Probe family and, in addition to the new architectures listed above, supports AMD64, ARM XScale, Freescale ColdFire, Power Architecture, Intel IA32 and EM64T, MIPS, SPARC and Texas Instruments Stellaris processors.
The Sourcery CodeBench IDE includes new Embedded Sourcery System Analyser technology, a specialised tool that helps embedded developers to quickly visualise and analyse system data. By allowing embedded developers to understand the performance characteristics of an application or a complete system, Sourcery System Analyser can locate bottlenecks so the embedded developer can debug or decode these problem areas and improve design performance. Execution data is collected from several sources including the Linux and Nucleus operating systems. The Linux Trace Toolkit (LTTng) provides a broad view of Linux behaviour in operation to gain insight on how the resources and processors are being used.
The Sourcery System Analyser product is capable of working with large datasets, integrating and correlating multiple sets of information and creating compelling visualisations. The analyser tool allows the user to manually apply trace point placements anywhere in the application to identify the start and end (and points in between) of a critical section of code that the developer wants to explore. The user trace points can then be displayed and manipulated with Sourcery System Analyser to identify and fix problems.
