Atollic AB, distributed in Italy by Fenway Embedded Systems, has announced that the Atollic TrueSTUDIO development tool suite has been released for use on Linux workstations. The version 8.0 of Atollic TrueSTUDIO IDE is now available for use on both/either Windows and Linux development machines.
Atollic TrueSTUDIO IDE is a Eclipse /GDB/GCC-based software development environment for developers working with ARM-based devices.
It is available in two editions: TrueSTUDIO Lite can be downloaded and used for free with no code-size restrictions and is suitable for prototyping, proof-of-concept, and new hardware evaluation; while TrueSTUDIO Pro—a paid upgrade edition—is described as the essential toolkit for ARM development because of its collection of professional development tools and utilities along with technical support. Some of these are event- and exception trace, system optimization, live expressions, memory analysis, hard fault diagnosis and RTOS-aware debugging.
Version 8.0 of Atollic TrueSTUDIO IDE also includes v.6.3.1 of the GCC compiler for ARM, a project importer for IAR users, thread-aware debugging support for FreeRTOS and SEGGER embOS, and a number of enhancements and improvements.
