October 9th, 2020 – Redwood Shores, CA and Limerick, Ireland.Ashling, a leading provider of embedded development tools, announced advanced support for heterogeneous multi-core Arm and RISC-V development within Ashling’s RiscFree™ IDE and Debugger.
The solution allows developers of complex multi-architecture, multi-core heterogeneous projects to work from within a single instance of the software environment, using a single debug probe connected to the multi-core target device.
Designers are increasingly moving to multi-core designs and integrating different processor architectures (i.e., heterogeneous cores) onto a single SoC. With demands in the industrial, automotive, medical, telecoms, AI, and IoT domains, combining multiple CPU cores such as Arm and RISC-V has become essential to meet features, performance, and power-consumption requirements.
RiscFree™ IDE now provides the embedded development market with one toolset using a single debugger instance to program and debug any combination of Arm and RISC-V devices via JTAG or Arm SWD Coresight interfaces.
“We’re happy to announce RiscFree™ multi-core, simultaneous debug support for Arm and RISC-V powered devices developed in close co-operation with our Arm and RISC-V customers and ecosystem partners. As multi-core designs proliferate, we believe the combination of Arm and RISC-V core based SoCs will establish a strong foothold in the market including in AI and IoT based designs.” – Hugh O’Keeffe, Managing Director of Ashling.
Combined with Ashling’s hardware debug and trace probes, RiscFree™ provides dedicated debug views, within the same debug instance, allowing visibility and control for all target cores simultaneously.
