Integrated Analysis ToolsWhenusingULINKprowithstreamingtrace,advancedanalysis tools show how your program is performing. Code Coverage provides detailed execution statistics for certificationtestingandvalidation.Performance Analyzer and Execution Profiler help you to identify and optimize hot-spots in your application code.

Code and Data TraceCode and data trace is captured on many Cortex-M-based microcontrollers using Streaming Trace with ETM or Trace Buffering withETBorMTB.Instructiontracecanhelpyoutofindcomplextimingproblemsorsporadicsoftwareissues.

µVision® IDE and DebuggerThe µVision IDE integrates a robust editor, project manager andbuildfacilityforefficientsoftwaredevelopment.TheµVision debugger provides a single environment in which you may test, verify, and optimize your application code. It features simple and complex breakpoints, watch windows, and execution control and provides full visibility to device peripherals.

Device SupportMDK supports more than 3000 ARM Cortex-M, SecurCore and ARM7/ARM9 based devices. MDK-Professional includes a license for ARM DS-MDK supporting Cortex®-A catalog devices.InitialreleaseJune2016forNXPi.MXandAtmelSAMA5.

System Viewer provides detailed information for each microcontroller

peripheral.

Performance Analyzer summarizes execution

timing in detail, even for code statements.

Logic Analyzer shows variable and signal changes

as state diagram or as graphical

Multiple Watch windows show selected variables

and structures and let you modify the values.

The Trace Data window shows the execution history of every instruction and links

it to the source code.

MDK MiddlewareToday’s microcontroller devices offer a wide range of communication interfaces to meet any embedded design requirement.However,implementingtheseinterfacespresents software developers with real challenges. Middleware componentsareessentialfordeveloperstomakeefficientuseof the device capabilities.MDK-Plus and MDK-Professional include a number of royalty-free, tightly coupled components which enable developers to more easily implement complex communication interfaces in their applications. Middleware components include:• File System• USBHostandDevice• Network• GraphicalUserInterface.

Allmiddlewarecomponentsarespecificallydesignedandoptimized for ARM Cortex-M-based MCUs. The libraries are seamlessly integrated with the µVision IDE and offer a modular design with well documented APIs.

File SystemThe File System component allows your embedded applica-tionstocreate,save,read,andmodifyfilesinawiderangeofstandard storage devices. The File System component offers:
