02 Mar 2009
µVision4 IDE/Debugger
Plano, TX: Keil announced at Embedded World, Nuremberg, the
Keil™ µVision®4
IDE for creating, simulating and debugging embedded applications on
microcontroller and smartcard devices.
The flexible window management system introduced in µVision4
enables developers to use multiple monitors and provides complete
control over window placement anywhere on the visual surface. The new
user interface makes better use of the screen space and organizes
multiple windows more efficiently; delivering an uncluttered,
efficient environment to develop applications.
µVision4 builds on the success of µVision3 adding
-
System Viewer windows providing device peripheral register
information which can be changed directly from within the System
Viewer windows.
-
Debug Restore Views allow multiple window layouts to be saved,
enabling quick selection of the most suitable debug view for
program analysis.
-
Multi-Project Workspace provides a simplified way to work with
numerous concurrent projects such as boot loader and application
programs.
-
Data and instruction trace capabilities for ARM® and
Cortex™ processor-based MCUs.
-
Device Simulation has been extended to support many new devices
such as ARM Cortex-M3 processor-based MCUs from Luminary, NXP, and
Toshiba; Atmel SAM7/9, and new 8051 derivatives such as
Infineon XC88x and SiLABS 8051Fxx.
-
Supports interfaces for many debug adapter interfaces including
ADI miDAS Link, Atmel SAM-ICE, Infineon DAS, and ST-Link.

"The µVision4 IDE builds on the success of what is
widely acknowledged as the most popular development environment for
microcontrollers," said Reinhard Keil, director of MCU Tools, ARM.
"With the introduction of µVision4, we have significantly
extended its capabilities to meet the ever increasing demands of
embedded software developers."
