SIGNUM SYSTEMS INTEGRATES WITH KEIL µVISION® IDE

Keil MDK-ARM now compatible with Signum’s JTAGjet™-ARM emulator

Moorpark, CA. – July 10, 2006 – Signum Systems Corporation today announced a new debugging environment for users of their JTAGjet-ARM emulators. Addressing the growing need for full featured, Integrated Debug Environment, JTAGjet-ARM is now compatible with Keil’s RealView® Microcontroller Development Kit (MDK-ARM) and the popular μVision3® debugger.

The RealView Microcontroller Development Kit for ARM (MDK-ARM) shortens development cycles by reducing time spent configuring, testing, and debugging embedded applications incorporating ARM® microcontrollers. The RealView MDK combines the ARM RealView C/C++ compilation tools with the Keil µVision Integrated Development Environment (IDE), providing developers with a feature-rich environment optimized for ARM Powered® microcontrollers.

The Keil µVision IDE includes project management, device configuration tools, source code editor optimized for embedded systems, target debugging, flash Programming and accurate device simulation of the ARM core and its peripherals. For experienced users, µVision includes new features, such as source outlining, function navigation, editor templates, incremental search, configuration wizards, logic analyzer view, CAN and I2C simulation, and debugging via the JTAG port.

Together with Signum’s USB 2.0 JTAGjet-ARM emulator the MDK-ARM delivers shorter downloads, faster flash programming, adjustable JTAG clock rates up to 30 MHz, self-adjusting voltage level on JTAG signals, built-in JTAG diagnostics, scan chain detection and many other advanced features useful in bringing-up brand new hardware, firmware, RTOS kernels and other embedded applications.

The wide range of IDEs with which the JTAGjet emulator is fully compatible had been impressive even before the µVision interface was added. The new solution further expands JTAGjet’s capabilities and flexibility and is bound to appeal to new developers which need a high-end emulator with the genuine ARM RealView compilation tools, as well as to existing Keil customers who will not need to learn yet another debugger environment in order to use a more powerful emulator.

JTAGjet emulator with an interface for Keil RealView MDK-ARM is available now for $1,200.
JTAGjet bundle price with Keil MDK-ARM tools is priced at $4,995.
Existing JTAGjet-ARM and Keil customers may purchase the JTAGjet interface driver only for $250.
