Green Hills Software Announces velOSity Support
for Renesas Technology’s SH726x SuperH RISC Microcontrollers
Ideal Fit for High-Volume, Automotive-Grade, Signal Processing and
Control Applications
EMBEDDED SYSTEMS CONFERENCE, BOSTON, MA —September 19, 2007—Green
Hills Software, Inc., the technology leader in device software optimization
(DSO) and real-time operating systems (RTOS),
today announced that the Green Hills product
suite is now available for the Renesas SH726x series of SuperH microcontrollers.
Included in Green Hills Software’s product family are the MULTI integrated
development environment, TimeMachine tool
suite, Green Hills compilers, DoubleCheck static
analysis tools, velOSity royalty-free
real-time operating system, and Green
Hills Probes.
This added support brings mature end-to-end development solutions to
the Renesas SH7261 and SH7263 single-chip microcontrollers. It enables
car infotainment and home audio system developers to help reduce their
cost of software development and shorten time-to-market for their car
infotainment, home audio and similar digital audio systems executing
on the advanced SuperH microcontroller.
“We are pleased that we now can offer the industry leading Green
Hills development suite to our customers for our SH726x series of microcontrollers.
Their end-to-end software development solutions bring a much needed advancement
in product development that our customers have been demanding,” said
Paul Sykes, segment marketing manager, automotive business unit, Renesas
Technology America, Inc. “This proven portfolio of tools and operating
systems optimized for the SH726x microcontrollers allows rapid deployment
of leading performance for low-cost digital audio and infotainment products.”
The Green Hills portfolio of products for the SH726x microcontroller
series comes from 25 years of experience providing development tools
and 10 years of providing RTOSes. Green Hills products make it easy for
software developers to utilize the silicon’s optimizations and
features while reducing time-to-market and improving the quality and
performance of code running in the end product. The portfolio components
include:
- MULTI integrated development environment – the industry’s
leading integrated development environment for multicore development
and debugging with many standard features for finding software bugs
early in the development process
- TimeMachine tool suite – the revolutionary back-in-time tool
suite that gives embedded software developers unprecedented visibility
to see and fix software flaws –with zero target code instrumentation!
- DoubleCheck static analysis tool suite – seamlessly integrated
with MULTI to allow easy, rapid analysis of your code, finding bugs
before they have a chance to infest your target
- Green Hills C/C++ and MISRA C compilers for the SuperH RISC cores
with numerous SH-2A optimizations designed to exploit the core’s
characteristics to generate the fastest and smallest code in the industry
- velOSity real-time operating system – providing
industry-leading deterministic performance, small footprint (less than
12 KB), reference BSP support, and middleware offering for automotive-grade,
cost-sensitive devices. Available middleware includes:
- File Systems (DOS/FAT, wear-leveling FLASH, ISO9660, CIFS, NFS)
- Networking (TCP/IP v4/v6 and applications, wireless, security)
- USB 2.0 Host and Device stack with class driver support for mass
storage, HUB, keyboard, mouse and communications
- Green Hills Probe and SuperTrace
Probe – providing reliable and efficient debugging with
the industry’s fastest download speeds
“Advanced, single-chip solutions are becoming a requirement to
run today’s complex embedded devices,” commented Dan O’Dowd,
founder and chief executive officer of Green Hills Software. “Renesas
Technology’s SH7260 microcontroller’s unique blend of performance
and integrated features allows customers to consolidate distributed functionality
into one device. Now with the availability of Green Hills solutions,
these customers can be more effective in their development and debugging
while realizing per unit cost savings and delivering on their time-to-market
goals.”
About the SH726x microcontroller series
The SH7261 incorporates an SH-2A CPU core and features a floating
point unit (FPU) capability for further improved signal processing performance.
This is a high-performance microcontroller incorporating peripheral functions
suitable for car infotainment and home audio systems such as a CD-ROM
decoder, serial sound interface, and CAN controller and an improved timer
unit that is also suitable for industrial applications. The SH7263 is
a high-performance microcontroller built on a powerful SH2A-FPU core.
This microcontroller operates at a maximum operating frequency of 200MHz.
In addition, it incorporates a USB 2.0 host/function module, a LCD controller
and a NAND flash controller. The SH7263 is ideal for use in digital audio
and infotainment systems with higher performance and sophisticated functions.
Availability
The Green Hills Software solution for the SH726x microcontroller series
is available today.
