Applied Microsystems Announces New Tools for New Intel Network Processors
Embedded Software Tools to Expedite Intel® XScale(TM) Technology-based Board Bring Up and Application Development
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 26, 2002--
Applied Microsystems Corp. (Nasdaq:APMC - news), today announces its plan
to support Intel's new Intel® IXP2800, IXP2400 and IXP425 Network
Processors, with a full set of embedded software test, debug and
verification tools dedicated to expediting Intel® XScale(TM)
technology-based board bring up and application development.
Designed to support all three of Intel's new network processors,
Applied's new solution set for network processors marks an expansion
for the company into new market sectors including high performance
Internet-based embedded systems.
Applied's plans include a solution set capable of Intel network
processor-specific in-circuit and ROM emulation and debugging for
board bring up and Board Support Package development; application
level fast downloading and debugging; and comprehensive software
verification aimed at supporting developers and QA teams from early
design phase all the way through to final test and validation.
Equipped with CodeTEST the user can boost embedded system
productivity, trace in detail the exact execution history of their
software at the RTOS, control-flow and source levels, track dynamic
memory allocations isolating leaks and errors, and verify testing to
accurately assess risk factors of problems arising from untested code.
"Applied has been supporting Intel and its processors from the
early days of the 8088 to the present day Intel® IXP1200 Network
Processor family. Today, developers have a winning test solution that
combines CodeTEST®'s extremely powerful performance, trace, memory
and coverage tool suite, which is compatible with commercial as well
as proprietary embedded operating systems, with NetROM®, the
industry's fastest ROM emulator and code download and debugging tool.
The Intel XScale technology is another exciting new chapter in
providing embedded software engineers the tools they need to win in
today's marketplace," said Mark Budzinski, vice president of sales and
marketing at Applied.
"Applied's history of supporting Intel developers and its current
embedded software tool solution set for the IXP1200 Network Processor
demonstrates the variety of options Applied offers the Intel developer
community," said Doug Davis, general manager of the Intel Network
Processor Division. "Applied's next generation of tools will provide
equipment makers using our new IXP2800, IXP2400 and IXP425 Network
Processors with the tools they'll need."
Pricing & Availability
The new development tool set will be available directly from
Applied and is planned for release during the later half of 2002
concurrent with the availability of the new network processors. For
developers using the IXP1200 Network Processor, NetROM and CodeTEST
are integrated with Tornado® from Wind River and available
immediately. For pricing and more information, please email
info@amc.com. The application level tools support major commercial
real time operating systems released for the Intel XScale
microarchitecture.
