Atollic announced that its Atollic TrueSTUDIO for ARM C/C++ development tool will be available for the new 32-bit XMC4000 family from Infineon Technologies, which uses the ARM Cortex-M4 processor.

Announced by Infineon Technologies recently, the XMC4000 line-up is targeted at a wide range of industrial applications, such as electric drives, solar inverters and the automation of manufacturing and buildings. The XMC4500, the first series of the new microcontroller family, delivers the 32-bit computing power embedded developers need to innovate a variety of industrial applications within time-constrained development cycles. Peripheral interface support includes SPI, I²C, UART and CAN configurable serial modules together with 12-bit ADCs and DACs.

The Atollic TrueSTUDIO for ARM development tool was recently honoured with an EDN ‘Hot 100 products of 2011’ award. It is a world-class development and debugging tool that offers a state-of-the-art editor, an optimising C/C++ compiler and a multiprocessor-aware debugger with real-time tracing. The tool suite delivers powerful software development team collaboration and developer productivity, and offers advanced features including ARM build and debug tools, system analysis and real-time tracing using Serial Wire Viewer (SWV) technology, and graphical-UML diagram editors for model-based design and architecture.

Atollic TrueSTUDIO also offers multiple advanced features, such as: an ECLIPSE-based IDE with a state-of-the-art editor; x86 C/C++ build and debug tools for development of PC command-line applications; parallel compilation and multiprocessor debugging; and integrated version-control system client with revision graph visualisation, enabling easy tracing of the history of code additions and revisions. Additionally, Atollic TrueSTUDIO includes an integrated client for accessing popular bug databases like Trac and Bugzilla, and it includes integrated features for performing source code reviews and code review meetings.

Atollic offers optional add-on modules that extend Atollic TrueSTUDIO with advanced features for static and dynamic code analysis as well as automatic unit testing. TrueINSPECTOR performs static source code analysis (MISRA-C compliance control and code metrics), TrueANALYZER performs in-target test quality measurement up to Modified condition/Decision coverage (MC/DC) using dynamic execution flow analysis, and TrueVERIFIER performs automated in-target unit testing of the embedded software.
