ARC intros tools, RTOS, stacks for Samsung S3C25xx micros

Development tools complement MQX RTOS and stacks

ARC has introduced a comprehensive software solution including development tools, RTOS and protocol stacks for Samsung's ARM940T-based S3C25xx communications processors.

Software support from ARC for the Samsung S3C2500B, S3C2501X, and S3C2510A processors includes MQX RTOS, RTCS TCP/IP networking stack, IPShield security software for the on-chip encryption engine, USB device stack, flash file system, board support packages, and device drivers for the 10/100 Ethernet MAC and UART. ARC also provides complete embedded development tools, including the MetaWare C/C++ Compiler, SeeCode Debugger, Instruction Set Simulator and IDE. Additionally, the Task Awareness Debugging (TAD) feature provides kernel and networking stack information available in the SeeCode pull-down menu during real-time debugging sessions. The MQX RTOS, RTCS TCP/IP network stack and development tools integration gives designers a complete out-of-box environment delivering a high-quality, interoperable embedded networks solution.

The Samsung processors are among the most highly configured communications processors on the market today. On-chip resources include ARM940T at 166MHz, AAL5 SAR/Utopia L1/2, PCI/Card Bus Host, USB Host, UART, I2C, DES/3DES engine and 2 x Ethernet MAC.
