ARM Compiler v5 and ARM DS-5 Professional Edition
ARM has released ARM Compiler v5 and ARM DS-5 Professional Edition, which replaces the ARM RVDS toolkit as the reference software-development toolchain for ARM processor-based ASICs and ASSP devices.
According to ARM, the DS-5 Professional Edition builds on the success of the ARM Compiler, integrating it in a complete suite of Eclipse-based software-development tools, including the DS-5 Debugger and Streamline Performance Analyser.
Together, these components deliver an integrated, powerful and intuitive Eclipse-based development environment covering a full range of activities, including platform bring-up and bare metal development, as well as the creation of RTOS, Linux and Android-based applications.
The ARM Compiler has been developed to deliver the best combination of code size and performance for ARM and Thumb-generated code since the release of the first ARM processor.
As part of the DS-5 Professional Edition, the new ARM Compiler v5 will continue to make possible devices with smaller memory footprint, higher responsiveness and minimum power consumption.
