Silicon Valley, California, USA . Ashling and GigaDevice Semiconductor jointly announced that Ashling’s RiscFree™ Toolchain will provide specific software development support for GigaDevice’s GD32V series of RISC-V microcontrollers.
The GD32V device is a 32-bit general-purpose microcontroller based on the RISC-V core with an impressive balance of processing power, reduced power consumption, and peripheral set. GD32V devices are suitable for a wide range of interconnected applications, especially in areas such as industrial control, motor drives, power monitor and alarm systems, consumer and handheld equipment, POS, vehicle GPS, LED display, and more.
“As the RISC-V market is growing, we are happy to see a leading RISC-V toolchain provider like Ashling adding support for our GD32V RISC-V based microcontrollers. Ashling RiscFree will be a strong addition to our ecosystem of tools and solutions that will benefit our expanding customer base and will result in rapid time-to-market for our end customers.” – Eric Jin, Product Marketing Director at GigaDevice.
RiscFree is Ashling’s Integrated Development Environment (IDE) including a Compiler and Debugger and provides software development and debug support for the GD32V series. Since its introduction, Ashling’s RiscFree toolchain has been steadily building market share within the embedded tools market and is particularly strong in the RISC-V space where its ease-of-use, broad functionality, plug-in architecture, and upcoming Real-time Trace support have made it the go-to choice for 32-bit and 64-bit RISC core software development.
“We are happy to announce our support for GigaDevice RISC-V based MCUs and that our RiscFree is now part of GigaDevice’s ecosystem of development and debug. We are confident RiscFree support will offer the user base of GigaDevice a leading Toolchain which will help in speeding up the deployment of any GD32V MCU powered solutions.” – Hugh O’Keeffe, CEO of Ashling.
