Grenoble, France – April 27, 2015 -- Shorter Time-to-Market, optimized performance, easier debug: such requirements cannot be addressed with the only choice of silicon IPs. Providing a suitable development environment is primordial for meeting with such improvements and allowing SoC optimization.
Software developers need innovative solutions to replace obsolete Development Environments of the eighties: here comes SmartVision™, the state-of-the-art IDE (Integrated Development Environment).

So, what’s new with SmartVision™?

• Best Time to Market
  Easy import of models of peripherals for complete subsystem display and simulation enables developing and debugging both peripheral drivers and application software on a complete Virtual Prototype and securing the availability of a hardware prototyping platform.

• Increased debug capacity
  Thanks to the Virtual Prototype of the complete configuration, software developers can assess the impact of each line of code on each component of the sub-system. SmartVision™ enables both simulation and on-chip debug with an In-Circuit Emulator (ICE) and with Built-In Real-time Debug (BIRD).

• Higher Microcontroller performances
  Advanced graphic viewers facilitate the reuse of software libraries and the increase of application software performance with lower power consumption. Indeed power consumption and speed profiling serve to identify and optimize the most consuming functions.

SmartVision™ and its state-of-the-art SmartCC™ compiler complete our offering of microcontrollers and more particularly our new RISC 32-bit microcontroller Flip80351 Zephyr
