Atmel announces new and improved software tools
4 November 2015
Design Automation
Atmel announced the release of Atmel Studio 7, a comprehensive, free integrated development environment (IDE) for microcontroller design using Atmel | SMART ARM processor-based and AVR microcontrollers. The company is also launching Atmel START – a new, intuitive graphical platform for creating and configuring embedded applications that allow developers to build custom software platforms.
Due to increased complexity and more demanding requirements, embedded developers are turning to IDEs to deliver more intelligence, performance and ease of use. Based on the latest Microsoft Visual Studio Shell, Atmel Studio 7 reduces overall design time by delivering significant performance enhancements for developing and debugging with an easy-to-use interface, improved responsiveness for consumer, industrial and maker markets, and more.
Atmel Studio 7, which can be downloaded from www.atmel.com/microsite/atmel-studio, also provides real-time application data and power visualisation to better optimise application performance and power utilisation. For the maker community, it allows Arduino developers to quickly port their sketches created in the Arduino environment as C++ projects, and seamlessly migrate their prototypes into the professional Studio 7 environment.
Atmel Start is a web-based tool (found at http://start.atmel.com) that helps developers easily integrate basic software building blocks and focus on their own applications rather than configuration and integration of the basic software building blocks. It allows software developers to graphically select software components and configure them for Atmel’s large family of evaluation boards or for their own custom boards. Developers can build software platforms consisting of low-level drivers, advanced middleware, real-time operating systems (RTOS), high-level communication stacks and more, and download the configured software package into their own IDE and build their application.
Atmel Start supports graphical configuring of pin-muxes, along with clock trees, and the configured software package can be downloaded for a variety of supported development environments, such as Atmel Studio 7, IAR Embedded Workbench and Keil μVision. Atmel Start is entirely web-based, so no installation is required before getting started and the downloaded code will always be up to date.
