FREE design tools include
a unique peripheral Configuration Tool (Patent Applied)
for design-in of new ultra low power microcontroller
Cyan Technology, the UK fabless semiconductor company with its own ultra low power RISC microcontroller aimed at new generation communications applications now offers FREE to designers, CyanIDE, its suite of software development tools, including a revolutionary Configuration Tool that allows the device's peripherals to be easily configured to suit different applications.
Cyan's Integrated Development Environment, CyanIDE, supports the company's range of current and future microcontrollers, allowing engineers to develop, configure, build, and test microcontroller applications all from a single PC based environment, It is even possible to Debug Code within the same non-intrusive real-time debug environment. An integrated HTML viewer provides a uniform environment for editing C-source code and viewing help files on device data, compiler and tools.
The Configuration Tool assigns device pin-out selection for the most efficient use of on-chip peripherals. Simple to use, the tool intelligently generates the required code to setup peripherals and communications options. The choices are made by simple point-and-click actions and then the code is generated automatically. A graphical representation of the device allows engineers to see the configuration of the internal peripherals as they are used. The system provides help with each peripheral as it is configured.
Paul Barwick, Cyan's Director
of Sales and Marketing states that "This unique tool allows the microcontroller
to be configured in hours rather than days, eliminating the usual barrier
inherent in evaluating new microcontrollers and therefore significantly reducing
design time". The CyanIDE Tool kit is also supplied with a full ANSI
C Compiler.
