Developer kit accelerates 32bit designs
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 combination of ARM and Actel technologies brings the flexibility, fast time to market, and low implementation cost of FPGAs to ARM users and others who previously could not justify the expense of ASIC implementation for their application.
"Since its introduction last year, we have seen a great deal of interest in our CoreMP7 processor from companies across the globe, reflecting the desire for FPGA flexibility combined with an industry-standard processor architecture", said Dennis Kish, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Actel.
"Moving forward, we are committed to exploring current and next-generation ARM technologies that will continue to benefit our customers, thereby increasing the choices available and enabling designers to reduce costs and improve performance".
The ARM Cortex-M3 processor is designed to provide a high-performance, low-cost solution that meets the needs of minimal memory implementation, reduced pin count and low-power consumption, while delivering outstanding computational performance and exceptional system response to interrupts.
"The ARM architecture, ARM quality and the ARM connected community has long been the choice of ASIC/ASSP designers".
"Through our partnership with Actel, we are successfully offering these advantages to FPGA designers, a previously unaddressed embedded community", said Graham Budd, EVP and General Manager, Processor Division, ARM.
"Our continuing partnership with Actel further solidifies ARM's commitment to building on its success in the FPGA market".
