RealView Development Suite Professional

The ARM® RealView® Development Suite 4.0 Professional is a complete, end-to-end solution for software development supporting all ARM® processors and ARM CoreSight™ debug technology. This full-featured product enables developers to begin software development, optimization and test ahead of silicon availability, significantly reducing application time-to-market and ensuring the highest degree of software quality.

RealView® Development Suite 4.0 Professional incorporates the best-in-class ARM Compiler and market-leading ARM Profiler enabling applications to easily achieve both high performance and optimal code size. The product includes support for the latest Cortex™-A8 and Cortex™-A9 processors and includes vectorizing compilation for the NEON™ media processing engine which can increase the performance of multimedia applications in standard C code by more than 200%.

RealView Development Suite 4.0 Professional offers a complete end-to-end solution for software development including:

• ARM Workbench IDE, which aims to increase software developers productivity by helping with project creation and improves insight in the source, object and executable code.
• The highly optimizing ARM C/C compiler, supporting all modern versions of the ARM, Thumb and Thumb-2 instruction sets and supporting the NEON SIMD instruction set with the vectorizing NEON compiler.
• Intelligent code linking, supporting automatic removal of unused code and placement of code and data in complex memory maps.
• Link-time codegeneration, which enables cross source-file optimization while neatly fitting into existing make file technology. Multi-core debug providing outstanding visibility of the entire system.  Non-intrusive Streaming profiling and Trace of software executing for long periods of time, minutes, hours or days, while running at operational frequencies.
• Profiler-driven compilation automatically optimizes software based on its dynamic behaviour. This improves both performance, by more aggressively optimizing hotspots for performance, and codesize, by more aggresively optimizing ´cold code´ for codesize.
• High performance pre-silicon software development using Real-Time System Models of complete ARM processor cores and boards running at around 200MHz. 

Add-on Options
The following are available as add-on options to the RealView Development Suite:

• RealView ICE and RealView Trace 2

• RealView System Generator

Check out the new RealView System Generator tool, which enables software application developers to create their own very fast models of hardware platforms, choosing the correct amount of detail to suit the task in hand.

No other supplier can offer this unique end-to-end tool-chain support for ARM IP, from system and processor design through to software development.
