ARM Releases Development Tools For Its Embedded Linux Community

The ARM Development Studio 5 (DS-5™) Community Edition is a free professional quality toolchain developed by ARM to accelerate the development of native (C/C++) embedded Linux and Android™ applications. Based on DS-5 Professional Edition, this toolkit offers essential debug and system analysis for you to create robust and highly optimized applications for ARM processor-based devices, without the fuss and inefficiencies usually attached to fragmented open source tools.

April 23, 2013 -- ARM® has extended the scope of the ARM Development Studio 5 (DS-5™) Community Edition (CE) to provide a fully featured, industry standard, and free-to-use software development environment for ARM Embedded Linux applications.

DS-5 CE provides an integrated solution including an Eclipse IDE, GNU cross-compiler, DS-5 Debugger, Streamline™ performance analyzer, online help and software examples. This level of integration enables developers to get up and running with their projects in virtually no time. In addition, DS-5 CE runs on Linux, Windows and Mac OS hosts, making it ideal for microcontroller users moving into the world of Linux.

...

More information on DS-5 CE is available on http://ds.arm.com/ds-5-community-edition/.

DS-5 CE is available now. New users can benefit from all the components in DS-5 CE by doing a standard DS-5 installation and registering an activation code from http://ds.arm.com/ds-5-community-edition/getting-started/ Developers with an existing Eclipse IDE and Linux compiler can install the DS-5 Debugger and Streamline components of DS-5 CE as Eclipse plug-ins from http://ds.arm.com/ds-5-community-edition/getting-started-update-site/.

UDOO = 4 Raspberry PI + Arduino DUE

UDOO is a mini PC that could run either Android or Linux, with an Arduino-compatible board embedded.

UDOO = 4 Raspberry PI + Arduino DUE

UDOO is a powerful prototyping board for software development and design, it's easy to use and with a few steps you can start using it and creating your projects with minimum knowledge.

UDOO merges different computing worlds in one; each world has its strengths and weaknesses, and all of them are useful today in education as well as Do-It-Yourself (DIY) and rapid prototyping endeavours.

UDOO is an open hardware, low-cost computer equipped with an ARM i.MX6 Freescale processor for Android and Linux, alongside Arduino DUE's ARM SAM3X, both CPU integrated on the same board!

UDOO's size is 4.33 inch x 3.35 inch (11 cm x 8.5 cm) and it has low power consumption.
