CodeWarrior(TM) Development Studio Simplifies Development of Networked
Embedded Systems
SAN FRANCISCO, April 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- EMBEDDED SYSTEMS
CONFERENCE -- As customers require more cost-effective, powerful development
systems for embedded systems and the importance for industrial control
applications increases, companies are searching for solutions that are
flexible, support multiple architectures and can be easily networked.
Metrowerks today announced the release of CodeWarrior(TM) Development Studio
for ColdFire (Architectures, Version 4.0), which is designed to support all
ColdFire architectures from Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT).
The newest version of CodeWarrior Development Studio for ColdFire
Architectures is designed to support the Motorola MCF5282, the first 32-bit
microcontroller (MCU) that provides on-chip Ethernet and Controller Area
Network (CAN) networking interfaces plus 512K of embedded flash memory. The
MCF5282 can be used in embedded products ranging from security systems, home
networking, food service equipment, and industrial control networks such as
CAN gateways and routers. CodeWarrior Development Studio for ColdFire
Architectures is designed to support a number of commercially available real
time operating systems (RTOS) and networking protocol stacks, to allow
customers to easily incorporate these capabilities into their products.
Metrowerks and Motorola worked closely with several commercially available
RTOS suppliers to integrate support and kernel awareness into CodeWarrior
Development Studio for ColdFire Architectures. The open architecture of
CodeWarrior is engineered to easily incorporate support for new Background
Debug Interface adapters and RTOS products.
"Metrowerks strives to deliver products that will make a difference in the
customer's development cycle," said David Clifton, vice president of marketing
for Metrowerks. "CodeWarrior Development Studio is part of our ongoing
strategy to provide a competitive solution ideal for the embedded market."
"As a long-time user of CodeWarrior products, I know first hand how
critical the Metrowerks tools are for helping our developers running
immediately and working productively," said David Moore, director of
development, Micro Digital, Inc. "Metrowerks refined CodeWarrior Development
Studio for ColdFire Architectures, Version 4.0, based on feedback from
customers, like myself, which further demonstrates their high regard and
commitment to users."
