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 multifunctional development and test tool to support various processors and controllers.
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 the 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 controls measurement and stimulation tests. With it analog and digital signals can be generated, monitored and traced.
At the moment there are software licenses to support following controllers: 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 a trace license the platform is expanded from a simple debugger to very powerful test tool with up to 256MB trace memory.
