The ARM RealView developer kit for STMicroelectronics is a complete, cost-effective development and debug product for design engineers using STMicroelectronics' general-purpose 32bit MCU products.

The ARM RealView developer kit for STMicroelectronics is a complete, cost-effective development and debug product for design engineers using STMicroelectronics' general purpose 32bit microcontroller (MCU) products The kit is based on components of the ARM RealView Developer Suite product with functionality tailored to the specific requirements of STMicroelectronics' products

The RealView developer kit for STMicroelectronics provides a complete environment for the development and debug of ST ARM core-based MCU target applications, and is comprised of a targeted compiler, a targeted GUI debugger and the ST specific RealView ICE Micro Edition JTAG run control device.

Although the RealView developer kit is constrained to work with STMicroelectronics product only, it provides the same industry-leading compiler optimisations and debug facilities as the RealView Developer Suite product, to enable developers to reduce system memory cost, through smaller code size and increased system performance, without a dramatic increase in power consumption.

The RealView developer kit for STMicroelectronics will initially enable design engineers to work with the recently announced STR71XF and STR72x products, based on an ARM7 microprocessor family-based core, with full support for future generations of additional ARM microprocessor-based MCUs from STMicroelectronics.

"Today we are pioneering a new category of MCUs with our 32bit products", said Semir Haddad, Product Line Manager, STMicroelectronics Microcontroller Division.

"Robust design tools such as the RealView developer kit for STMicroelectronics will ease the shift from 8bit and 16bit solutions and are integral to the success of our new products".

"Our combined effort has resulted in an out-of-the box solution that offers a cost effective, fully integrated, developer kit specifically targeting the ST ARM core-based microcontrollers", said Andrew Frame, Product Manager, RealView Solutions, ARM.

"Simplifying this development process is a great advantage to designers seeking to utilise the power of STMicroelectronics 32bit MCUs in their product, while reducing their overall time-to-market".

The RealView developer kit for STMicroelectronics is available through STMicroelectronics normal distribution channels, to provide convenient sourcing of both silicon and development tools from the same vendor.
