ARM Cortex M3 users who have adopted the STM32 family of controllers from ST Microelectronics for use in embedded development projects will be especially interested in an upcoming Webinar presented by Magnus Unemyr of Atollic Ltd.

Embedded applications are more and more complex than ever. As a rule, software engineers are using components like RTOSes, TCP/IP and other communications protocol stacks, embedded databases and file systems and supporting newer peripherals like USB OTG. Modern embedded applications development has come a long way since one engineer sat down to write void main(void) {... }. Nowadays, development teams across different company locations, different countries and different continents collaborate on applications. How do development teams in the modern era manage the entire process of collaboration, bug tracking, code review, and revision control, which are all critical elements of creating high quality software applications?

The answer is, they do it with better tools!

Joral Technologies is proud to announce collaboration with Atollic Ltd. of Jonkoping Sweden to bring state-of-the-art development capabilities to embedded developers that provide solutions to ALL of contemporary development needs. We would like to acquaint developers further with the capablities of Atollic TrueSTUDIO ®  C/C++ development tools for ST Microelectronics Cortex M3 in a brief, no-nonsense Web based presentation, where you will:

See a “real world” demo of TrueSTUDIO ® - this demo will acquaint you with:

• Superior editing with TrueSTUDIO ®
• Efficient comilation with the gcc ARM compiler
• State of the art debugging interface
• Collaboration tools, bug tracking tools, revision control interface
• UML utility for product design and documentation

Time: Approximately 35 minutes with 10-15 minutes for Questions and Answers

The debugging capabilities of the new ARM Cortex M3 parts coming out on the market have generated many questions, such as:

• What is the difference between Serial Wire Debugger and Serial Wire Output?
• What is a Debug Access Port?
• What is ITM?
• What kind of information can I get?
• What debugging equipment do I need?
• How can I configure debugging tools?
• How can I capture trace data?

The answers to these and other important questions are not always obvious in the technical marketing material of the various vendors. JORAL's SWV seminar is a 30-minutes, no nonsense introduction on how to use the new debugging features of ARM Cortex M3, how to get and how to interpret it. Clients who have already attended this seminar say it has raised their understanding of debugging to a whole new level and a few have even abandoned their blinking LEDs and logic probes!

Are you designing embedded systems and products with 8- and 16-bit microcontrollers? The first of a four-part webinar series looks at the benefits and steps required to migrate projects from the Microchip PIC18 or PIC24 to MCUs based on the ARM® Cortex™-M processor technology.
Find out how easy it is to migrate your applications to the next generation of microcontroller technology, based on the ARM Cortex-M processors. Discover the practical benefits of migration; compare the Microchip PIC18 or PIC24 to the Cortex-M series processors, examine the tools solutions available and finally review a Cortex-based MCU from one of the many silicon suppliers.
The presenter will demonstrate tangible benefits of migrating from an old architecture to an ARM Cortex-M processor for your next project. The easy to use, Cortex-M family of 32-bit processors will reduce development cost and time-to-market.
You will learn how the Cortex-M processors:

• Adapt to your current software
• Compare to your current microcontrollers
• Deliver code density better than an 8- or 16-bit MCU
• Facilitate software reuse and portability with a consistent look and feel using Cortex Microcontroller Software Interface Standard (CMSIS)
• Provide easy software development (C-friendly) and debug features

Presenter:
Richard York
Director, Product Marketing
Processor Division
ARM
Richard is responsible for the team marketing the ARM embedded and microcontroller CPU products including the Cortex-M and Cortex-R series. In addition, he is responsible for the overall embedded roadmap for these products and for specialized derivatives such as the ARM SecurCore processor family. He has worked at ARM for over fourteen years, during which time he has been closely involved with the design of ARM7TDMI core and was an architect in ARM’s advanced research and development group. He is also the principal architect of the ARM RealTrace debug system.

Do you use state machines when you are completing your EMBEDDED SYSTEM DESIGN? ..........
JORAL.ca will be having an ON-LINE tool demonstration Thursday May 15, 2009 at 11:00 a.m.. The call will be 40 minutes. Click on Visual State Tool Demonstration. You will receive an email giving you simple instructions on how to join the ONLINE conference call.

IAR visualSTATE is the first state machine graphical design tool generating highly compact C code for embedded systems
• Automatic generation of C/C++ code from state machine models
• Automatic generation of full documentation
• Intuitive, easy to use graphical editor
• Full verification and simulation tools including on-target debug capability using RealLink
• UML compliant state machine standard

Agenda for the conference call. 1. Run VSDemo.exe. This will illustrate the specializations of project. 2. Start visualSTATE, describe how to set up workspace 3. Describe Navigator & introduce Designer, Validator, Verification, Coder and Documentor 4. Start Designer, fill in project skeleton, illustrate states, transitions, actions functions, events 5. Quick Validator Run - show how to animate statechart diagram 6. Generate Code 7. Switch to Embedded Workbench, do a quick simulation (optional) 8 Q&A
