Analog Device unveiled an expanded version of its developer-centric offerings with new solutions to drive more efficiency and security for developers and provide increased customer value.
The CodeFusion Studio System Planner helps customers deliver innovations for the Intelligent Edge with enhanced capabilities and reduced time-to-market. The new Data Provenance Software Development solution establishes a trust framework for data created at the Intelligent Edge, ensuring the data remains trustworthy and preserves its fidelity from creation to consumption or storage.
“The work required of embedded developers is more complicated than ever, from increasingly complex processors to new challenges presented by multiple development teams and a more challenging security environment,” said Rob Oshana, Senior Vice President of the Software and Digital Platforms group at ADI.
“We have heard from customers time and again they want to be able to more quickly and easily manage their system design, allocate resources, quickly show proof-of-concept, and do it with data integrity at the edge, all of which inspired this expanded CodeFusion Studio System Planner and Data Provenance Software Development solution offerings.”
In recent years, embedded devices have exponentially increased processing speed, core count, functionality, and complexity – delivering reduced cost and space, but increasing the complexity of software development pipelines. Legacy developer tools often lack the flexibility and customization required to integrate into these pipelines and the established code bases central to effective modern system design. ADI’s CodeFusion Studio System Planner solves many of these project creation and resource partitioning challenges on complex, heterogeneous devices.
Using a permissibly licensed, open-source architecture, ADI’s CodeFusion Studio System Planner enables flexible project creation across multiple cores and graphical resource allocation of memory and peripherals.
Additionally, System Planner enables developers to generate the code they need via a plugin-based project creation system. This system gives developers as much flexibility as possible while benefiting from a common set of configuration tools. A set of plugins for common firmware platforms – Zephyr RTOS, ADI’s SDK, etc. – will be provided out of the box, but customers are free to duplicate and modify those project creation and config plugins for their requirements.
Finally, System Planner provides a graphical utility to partition memory resources, assigning partitions to one or more cores. This utility aims to help customers generate linker scripts or Device Tree memory overlay files. Peripheral blocks can also be graphically assigned to a core, with RTOS-aware config settings.
