ARM and Mentor collaborates to support Nucleus RTOS/Graphics software

ARM and Mentor Graphics jointly announced the support for Nucleus RTOS and Nucleus Graphics in the ARM RealView Development Suite and to include the RealView Compiler in the Nucleus distribution.

The ARM RealView Development Suite (RVDS) is an end-to-end solution for software development that supports all ARM processors and ARM debug technology. RealView Development Suite offers ARM C/C++ compiler and support the advanced debug technology for developing software on the latest SoC and ASIC designs.

Mentor Graphics has adopted the RealView Compiler as the reference compiler for Nucleus RTOS and middleware.

The RealView Development Suite enables a high evaluation of Nucleus RTOS and the Nucleus Graphics 3D GUI technology by running pre-packaged examples on its fast Real-Time System Models. RealView Debugger supports kernel aware debugging of the Nucleus kernel and can be used to do run-mode debug of Nucleus applications.

"Mentor provides leading embedded technologies for today's advanced products, including support for Nucleus RTOS, Linux, and Android-based devices," said John Cornish, System Design Division executive vice president and general manager, ARM. "The addition of support for Nucleus RTOS in our leading RealView Development Suite provides an optimum solution for accelerated product development and innovation."

"The RealView Compiler is the best set of compilation tools for ARM processors and is essential to get the best performance out of Mentor's RTOS and GUI products,"said Glenn Perry, Mentor Graphics Embedded Systems Division general manager. "Our agreement with ARM will enable customers to quickly create exciting new products to meet market needs."
