ARM Tools DS-5 / Linux

DS-5 supports boot code, kernel, driver and application development for ARM® Linux-based products

ARM has released its ARM Development Studio 5 (DS-5) v5.3, and the commercial version of DS-5 Linux Edition. DS-5 accelerates Linux and Android native code development. DS-5 Application Edition targets application development using a low cost Ethernet or USB connection to the target: DS-5 Linux Edition extends this functionality with support for platform bring-up, kernel and driver development. The DS-5 device configuration database contains implementation details for supported ARM-based ASSPs, including JTAG interface, resets, peripheral registers and trace architecture. The current list of supported platforms includes Atmel, Freescale, Marvell, NXP, ST, and TI catalogue devices. DS-5 speeds up platform bring-up by providing access to coprocessor registers and enabling the use of hardware breakpoints and data access watchpoints. DS-5 also supports instruction trace to simplify the debug of timing-related software bugs and analyse performance-critical code. The Application Edition now includes Android native application and library profiling, and support for Cortex-A9 targets running Linux SMP, in the Streamline Performance Analyser.
