iC5000 On-Chip Analyzer – Software configurable Development and Test Platform for Embedded Systems
Today iSYSTEM AG based in Schwabhausen announces their new generation of development and test tools for embedded software and hardware.
The platform called iC5000 On-Chip Analyzer is the consequent product enhancement of well proven iSYSTEM technolgy into one hardware platform. iC5000 is a single hardware and software platform that is changed by software updates into a multi¬functional development and test tool to support various processors and controllers. A major design focus of the new system platform is to create a tool that is flexible to use and easy to integrate into the complete development and test process of a company.
The hardware of the iC5000 consists of a base module including USB2.0 and ETH100 for connection to the PC. On top of the base module a debug/trace module and an optional I/O module is located. The debug/trace module connects to different debug interfaces (JTAG, BDM, SWD, ETM, NEXUS…). For that various adapters are available. The I/O module is used for additional measurements and stimulations while testing. With this module analog and digital signals can be generated, monitored and traced.
Currently supported microcontrollers by use of an appropriate software license: ARM7, ARM9, XScale, CortexM3, Freescale Coldfire V1, Coldfire V2/V3/V4, MC9(S)08 and MC9S12(X). Others will follow in 2010. By purchase of an addtional trace license the platform is expanded from a simple debugger to a very powerful test tool with up to 256MB trace memory.
“In 2009 we concentrated on the development of a new tool generation. Today it is very important that development tools are flexible to use and easy to integrate within the complete product development and test process. Therefore iSYSTEM has focused not only in the new integrated and cost efficient hardware platform iC5000 but also in the enhancement of iSYSTEM open and public APIs for test automation. iSYSTEM tools have been expanded by APIs to allow not only the control of iSYSTEM software and hardware but also to enable unit and hardware-in-the-loop tests”, explains Erol Simsek Director Sales & Marketing of iSYSTEM AG.
About iSYSTEM
iSYSTEM specializes in embedded development and test tools, supports customers with their embedded projects and provides professional services. Our vision is to easily enable developers and testers to use embedded development and test tools within the complete development process. iSYSTEM products are best suited for development and test of security-sensitive and vital functions for automotive, aerospace and medical applications. To achieve an optimal integration of development tools, iSYSTEM maintains close relationships with semiconductor, compiler, RTOS and test tool vendors. The majority of iSYSTEM products present a link between the embedded system and the host PC. Dependent on the CPU architecture an in-circuit emulator, an on-chip debugger, an on-chip debugger plus trace tool or an external bus analyzer can be used. The modular design allows the subsequent use of iSYSTEM products in other configurations. iSYSTEM tools support more than 50 different CPU architectures, 2000 microcontrollers and 150 compilers.
