ARM CORE SUPPORT FROM SIGNUM
Moorpark, CA – October 12,
2001 – Signum Systems announced today full emulation support for the ARM7®,
ARM7TDMI®, ARM9TDMI® and ARM9E® cores.
The new JDSnet-ARM emulator
connects to target boards via the standard JTAG connector and allows to debug embedded ARM
core designs in real-time, regardless of the ARM clock speed. The small, desktop unit
features serial (COM), parallel port (LPT) and LAN (Ethernet 10BaseT) connections to any
Windows hosted PC. Being very portable and featuring extremely fast download speeds, the
new JDSnet-ARM emulator/debugger will fill the growing need for a universal, low-cost
development system.
Besides the fast download, JDSnet-ARM supports the latest Debug Communications Channel
(DCC) feature, which allows real-time communication between the running ARM and host PC at
up to 800 Kbytes/sec. JDSnet-ARM also supports the EmbeddedICE-RT® feature to
allow user interrupts to be fully serviced after reaching a breakpoint. Enabling the
interrupts during breakpoints allows targets controlling electromechanical devices, motors
and servos to stay active during debugging without the fear of damage.
JDSnet-ARM is available with Signum Systems’ multi-core Chameleon Debugger, further
enhancing the efficiency and quality with which developers can debug ARM, mixed-core (DSP,
ARM) or SoC based embedded products. Unlike other tools, Chameleon Debugger supports all
major C compilers (Red Hat, ARM, Texas Instruments, Green Hills Software, GNU) at the
source level and features the latest software debugging and verification tools like:
variable pop-ups in source window, hardware and software breakpoints, watch-points, flash
programming, virtual I/O, statistical analysis, graphical complex breakpoint definitions,
automated testing and virtual prototyping.
JDSnet-ARM and Chameleon Debugger for the ARM7 and ARM9 cores are available now. Prices
start at $2,995. A complete development suite consisting of JDSnet-ARM, Chameleon Debugger
and GNU C compiler is only $3,995. For further information call Signum Systems at (800)
