SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- Atmel® Corporation (NASDAQ: ATML), a
leader in microcontroller (MCU) and touch solutions, today
announced the release of Atmel Studio 7, the company's
comprehensive, free integrated development environment (IDE) for
MCU design using Atmel | SMART ARM® processor-based and AVR MCUs.
Atmel is also launching Atmel START—a new, highly intuitive
graphical platform for creating and configuring embedded
applications that allow developers to build custom software
platforms.
Due to increased complexity and more demanding requirements,
embedded developers are turning to IDEs to deliver more
intelligence, performance and ease-of-use. Based on the latest
Microsoft Visual Studio Shell, Atmel Studio 7 IDE dramatically
reduces overall design time by delivering significant performance
enhancements for developing and debugging with an easy-to-use user
interface, improved responsiveness for consumer, industrial and
Maker markets—and much more. Atmel Studio 7 also provides real-time
application data and power visualization to better optimize
application performance and power utilization.
For the Maker community, Studio 7 allows Arduino developers to
quickly port their sketches created in the Arduino environment as
C++ projects, and seamlessly migrate their prototypes into the
professional Studio 7 environment. Atmel continues to help Makers
move their projects from 'the MakerSpace to MarketPlace.'
With the rise of the Internet of Things Market (IoT) and
projected billions of devices expected by 2020, high quality, well
integrated embedded software is key to enable designers to build
robust, connected solutions based on today's connectivity and
security standards. Atmel is pleased to launch Atmel Start which is
a web-based tool that helps developers easily integrate basic
software building blocks and focus on their own applications rather
than configuration and integration of the basic software building
blocks.
Atmel START enables software developers to graphically select
software components and configure them for Atmel's large family of
evaluation boards or for their own custom boards. Developers can
build software platforms consisting of low-level drivers, advanced
middleware, Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS), high-level
communication stacks and more, and download the configured software
package into their own IDE and build their application.
Atmel START supports graphical configuring of pin-muxes, along
with clock trees, and the configured software package can be
downloaded for a variety of supported development environments,
such as Atmel Studio 7, IAR Embedded Workbench and Keil uVision.
Atmel START is entirely web-based so no installation is
required before you get started—and the downloaded code will always
be up-to-date.
"Atmel Studio 7 IDE and Atmel START extend our commitment to
bridge the gap between the Maker and professional environments,
accelerating time-to-market for developers of all levels," said
Steve Pancoast, Vice President of
Applications, Software and Tools, Atmel Corporation. "Our new,
innovative development tools and software provide Atmel's customers
with solutions for embedded system designs in low power and
wireless communications such as our power visualizer and Atmel
START. We are committed to bringing the best tools to market,
enabling developers of all levels—from professionals to students,
hobbyists and Makers—to get their projects quickly to market."
"The innovative Atmel START tool brings new possibilities for
users of IAR Embedded Workbench," said Mats Ullström, COO, IAR
Systems. "Our advanced development tools complement the
high-quality software that Atmel START delivers very well, and
being able to rapidly configure example projects and deploy them on
not only the hardware the user wants, but also for the tools the
user is most comfortable with, is key to being able to get to
market quickly."
"The Atmel START platform makes it easy for developers to get
projects off the ground quickly and obtain the most benefit from
working with ARM Keil® MDK tools," said Reinhard Keil, Director of Microcontroller
Tools, ARM. "By using CMSIS, Atmel has once again proven the value
of creating a platform built on a standards-based approach. Atmel
START creates a robust and portable software management system that
makes it easy for developers to deploy applications in any
environment."
