ARM Acquires Allant Software
CAMBRIDGE, U.K.----Sept. 20, 2000--ARM
(LSE:ARM)(Nasdaq:ARMHY), the industry's leading provider of 16/32-bit
embedded RISC microprocessor solutions, today announced it has
acquired Allant Software Corporation.
Based in Walnut Creek, Calif., Allant Software provides software
development tools and technology to the embedded microprocessor
industry.
``This acquisition of Allant Software is in line with our
commitment to supporting the ARM architecture with a broad range of
design tools that enable efficient development and debug of complex,
high-value system-on-chip solutions,'' said Warren East, vice president
of Operations for ARM. ``By incorporating Allant's leading-edge
technology into our industry-proven design solutions, we will be able
to provide designers with the real-time tools they require for the
fast and efficient development of ARM Powered(tm) systems.''
Allant Software is a five-person company that specializes in
multi-core debugging technology. The company's ASPEX technology
provides a complete development environment that includes an
integrated, context-sensitive editor, build facilities, source code
version control management, the ASPEX debugger, code generation tools,
simulation, and other software development tools. The technology
enables DSP and ARM software developers to increase productivity and
reduce time-to-market by providing mixed architecture debug support
from a single debugger.
``Allant® has been providing development and debug solutions for
ARM and DSP system-on-chip designs for many years, and our technology
and expertise will complement ARM's already strong portfolio of
development tools,'' said Dan Jaskolski, CEO of Allant Software.
``Allant is very excited to be joining ARM, and is looking forward to
helping ARM's partners realize a shorter, more efficient
time-to-market.''
