new products Autosar development kit Geensys SA (Boulogne-Billancourt, France) has launched its ﬁrst in a planned series of Autosar development kits at a price of €25,000. It comes with ﬁve days onsite support and one year’s maintenance. The kit is said to enable automotive engineers to learn about and practice Autosar software development in an easy and ﬂexible way. Geensys’ ﬁrst Autosar development kit combines a hardware evaluation board, with Freescale S12X microcontroller, basic software modules compliant with Autosar 2.1 and the complete Autosar Builder tool chain It also includes CANbus and NVRAM demonstration examples. www.geensys.com Development tools offered for Stellaris MCUs Code Red Technologies Ltd. (Cambridge, England) a provider of software development tools for 32-bit microcontrollers has ported its Code Suite development tools to the Stellaris microcontroller range from Luminary Micro (Austin, Texas). The two companies also announced the availability of Stellaris evaluation kits featuring an evaluation version of Code Suite development tools which is always unrestricted when used with the evaluation board. Code Suite is bult on top of the Eclipse integrated development environment with enhancements added by Code Red. Code Suite also works with real-time operating systems for designs where the resources of a real-time kernel are required, and includes a FreeRTOS.orgT project wizard. Code Suite incorporates Code Trace, a software feature that capitalizes on the serial wire viewing (SWV) technology in Stellaris microcontrollers to deliver unprecedented visibility during debug. Code Trace delivers proﬁling, interrupt statistics, interrupt tracing, RTOS event tracing, and a host-strings viewing mechanism which provides printf style debugging and logging without intrusiveness. Interrupt tracing provides graphical visualization of what is occurring in a real time system. Evaluation kits are available from Luminary Micro and Code Red Technologies that incorporate Code Suite, and allow the use of the full unrestricted use of the development environment. These kits, which are priced from $49 to $89, are available for a number of different conﬁgurations. A full license to Code Suite development tools is available through an online upgrade of the evaluation kits from the Code Red Technologies website. www.code-red-tech.com/ Real-time development support Inﬁneon Technologies AG (Munich, Germany) has announced a development support kit with a CANopen development environment for its 16bit XE166 family of real-time signal controllers for about $75 The UConnect-CAN development kit enables the design of networked real-time motor control systems for industrial applications, such as servodrives, air-conditioning systems, stepper motors and pumps. The Uconnect kit allows analysis of the CANopen protocol and application code for motor control designs. The kit is supplied on a USB memory stick. The UConnect USB stick provides evaluation capabilities for the 16-bit 42 XE164 microcontroller. The kit also contains an extension board for expanding the possible interfaces such as synchronous and asynchronous serial interfaces, six PWM channels, four AD channels and a second CAN interface. Also included in the kit is the CANopen protocol stack from Port GmbH, a one-year license-free compiler from Altium as well as a software conﬁguration tool, along with all documentation. The development kit UConnectCAN is due to become available in the second quarter of 2008 and can be ordered from Inﬁneon sales ofﬁces and distributors for 49 euros (about $75). www.inﬁneon.com MARCH 2008 | embedded systems design europe | www.embedded.com/europe 042_ESDE.indd 42 6/03/08 16:02:55 http://www.geensys.com http://www.code-red-tech.com/ http://www.infineon.com http://www.embedded.com/europe
