![]() XTIMEcomposer-Enterpris also allows customers to make full use of the deterministic xCORE multicore architecture. Real-time power analysis of the target system is also supported, allowing developers to optimize their code for the most energy efficient operation. I/O signals and internal xCORE signals can be accurately monitored in real-time while the target system is running, with both digital and analog signals available for view in the xSCOPE instrumentation tool. This advanced debug hardware solution allows full multicore debug and analysis with accurate real-time trace and fast instrumentation of the target hardware board or system. ![]() The result is a custom chip and associated application code that exactly meets the needs of the target system.The comprehensive debug environment is enhanced by the inclusion of a new xTAG-PRO multifunction debugger. The designer configures the xCORE device using xSOFTip IP blocks to add the specific set of interfaces and creates application code in C or C++, with real-time extensions, via the same flow. XTIMEcomposer and xSOFTip allow developers to build real-time embedded applications within a unified design flow. A GUI-based tool called xSOFTip Explorer allows developers to easily browse blocks and configure xCORE devices with any combination of interfaces and peripherals they need. The xTIMEcomposer includes xSOFTip, a comprehensive library of soft peripheral IP and processing blocks that can be used to configure xCORE multicore microcontrollers. Users can observe the behaviour of their code and I/Os in real-time while the system is running on the xCORE device and in their system.Īccording to the company xTIMEcomposer is the industry’s only fully featured development environment that supports all three common operating system platforms (Windows, Linux and MacOS) and is available free-of-charge. The xCORE multicore microcontroller platform delivers completely deterministic performance, giving developers the capabilities of a hardware-RTOS (real time operating system) that supports nano-second timings.Īs part of this new release, the capabilities of the xSCOPE real-time code instrumentation tool have been significantly improved. XTIMEcomposer Studio also allows customers to define very accurate timings for their tasks and for I/Os. This allows engineers to benefit from the much higher performance that is available from the xCORE multicore microcontroller products but makes it easy to develop and ensures that the design is completely safe in operation. Advanced compiler capabilities ensure that pointers are handled safely across these separate tasks.Ĭustomers can take existing C/C++ code and easily recompile for the multicore xCORE devices. Alternatively tasks can be combined on single cores for efficient use of processing resources. ![]() The new xTIMEcomposer Studio tools support simple extensions to standard C that allow developers to easily describe separate tasks and then to run these in parallel on separate logical cores within the xCORE device. You can simply recompile your existing C code for use on xCORE.” Unlike traditional MCU makers, XMOS is able to offer a complete professional development toolset free-of-charge. “But now, thanks to xTIMEcomposer, it has never been easier for users of conventional MCUs to move to multicore technology. “In the past writing ANSI standard C for multicore systems was challenging,” said Nigel Toon, XMOS CEO. Available as a free-of-charge beta version for download from the XMOS website, the new tools give every engineer familiar with C programming access to the power and flexibility of multicore technology in developing embedded systems. The new integrated development environment (IDE) includes everything that is required for embedded design in a single Eclipse-based environment including an editor, LLVM compiler, debugger, XTA static timing analyzer, simulator, xSCOPE real-time code instrumentation tool and flash burning tools. XMOS has unveiled the latest version of the xTIMEcomposer Studio development suite for its xCORE multicore microcontrollers.
