Processors - Direct Insight Support for NEC V8xx family devices

Devices:
We offer comprehensive support of all derivatives including the latest devices: V850, V850E, V851, V852, V853, V854, V805, V810, V82x, V83x.

Summary: The V8xx architecture from NEC is a very high performing 16-bit microcontroller family. It includes a high performance pipelined RISC core, with excellent real time response - ideal for embedded control systems.

Direct Insight offers a range of development solutions for NEC's V8xx architecture, combined with in-depth support from our trained staff.

Low-cost GNU-based Integrated Development Environment: Microcross
Microcross Visual X-Tools is a Professional Integrated Development Environment (IDE), providing a fully integrated single windows style interface and build solution that is powered by the world-class, award-winning Visual SlickEdit and GNU X-Tools. Visual X-Tools is hosted on Linux and Windows platforms and provides a complete end-to-end integration of GNU X-Tools with all of Visual SlickEdit features of code editing, syntax coloring, symbol lookup, code navigation, context tagging, search and replace, C/C++ source beautification, file / source-tree differencing (DIFFzilla), and a source build environment to compile, link, and execute programs in simulators or through the GNU debugger while remotely connected to a target CPU via serial / Ethernet and connected to a BDM / JTAG connection on a development board.

In-circuit emulator: Sophia
The UniSTAC from Sophia provides full emulation for NEC's V854, V853A, V852, V851, V850ES/KF1 (/KG1, /KJ1), V850E/MA1 (/MS1), V850/SA1 (/SB1, /SV1), V832, NB85ET. It incorporates a chip-specific probe, emulation memory, trace memory, and CPA function into one compact unit. It operates up to 100 MHz external clock, and uses a SCSI interface to provides high-speed communication with your host PC.

JTAG emulator: Sophia
The UniSTAC-II/J from Sophia provides on-chip emulation for NEC's V850E/ME2 microcontroller via its N-Wire port. As well as the usual features, this emulator also incorporates Branch Trace and Flash Programming, all easily controlled through Sophia's Watchpoint high-level Windows debugger. It operates up to the CPU's maximum clock speed, and uses a USB interface to provide high-speed communication with your host PC, and Ethernet for remote debugging.

Real-Time Operating System: Segger
Segger embOS is a real-time operating system for embedded applications designed to offer the benefits of a fully fledged multitasking system at minimum cost. The kernel is fully interruptible and so efficient that it can be used in very time critical situations. The memory footprint in both RAM and ROM is so small that it can be used in single-chip applications, leaving maximum room for the user-program.

Despite its size and efficiency, embOS features the entire palette of communication mechanisms such as mailboxes, events and different kinds of semaphores. All tasks and communication instances can be dynamically created, deleted and configured.

Most importantly, embOS is affordable, royalty-free, and easy to use.
