SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Atmel®
Corporation and SOMNIUM® Technologies today announced the
availability of SOMNIUM® DRT as an extension to the recently
launched Atmel® Studio 7—a fully integrated development environment
(IDE) leveraging the Microsoft Visual Studio Shell.
The SOMNIUM®DRT Atmel Studio Extension is the only product that
offers improved code generation while maintaining full
compatibility with industry-standard GNU tools that are widely used
by Atmel customers. DRT enhances Atmel Studio 7 by enabling
superior quality C and C++ code generation for Atmel | SMART
ARM®-based microcontrollers (MCUs), resulting in reduced flash
requirement for applications, faster code execution, and reduced
power consumption. DRT installs as an alternate toolchain,
seamlessly replacing the Atmel GNU tools, making SOMNIUM's
patented-resequencing optimizations available to Atmel Studio users
without complex software rewriting and no costly staff
retraining.
Unlike traditional tools that only consider the ARM Cortex-based
processor, DRT recognizes the processor coupling and memory system,
automatically applying a new series of device-specific
optimizations. Developers using SOMNIUM's DRT products have a
significant advantage over their competitors, reaching the market
faster with higher performance, greater energy efficiency and more
profitable designs.
In the rapidly expanding Internet of Things (IoT) market, there
is a demand for smart, connected devices requiring more
feature-rich MCUs that are cost-effective, lower in power and
easier to program than ever before. Atmel's innovative designs are
leading the way with a strong focus on energy efficiency without
compromising performance—a key requirement in many IoT
applications. DRT allows developers to further enhance the
performance and energy management of their Atmel-based designs,
while optimizing their bill-of-materials costs by reducing memory
requirements.
"By adding the SOMNIUM DRT to Atmel's software and tools
ecosystem, our developers can take their projects to market with
improved code generation," said Henrik
Flodell, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Development
Tools, Atmel. "With access to high-quality tools, developers can
optimize memory-constrained systems for performance along with
power efficiency. SOMNIUM's advanced technology brings additional
value to our customers in these areas."
"SOMNIUM is bringing a whole new approach to the embedded
software development tools sector which will enable embedded
systems developers to introduce new products to market faster, with
lower associated costs and increases in both performance and energy
efficiency," said Dave Edwards,
SOMNIUM's CEO and CTO. "Working with Atmel Corporation, we can
bring significant competitive advantage to their customers, further
enhancing the benefits they already gain from their innovative
technology without requiring them to change their source code or
development environment."
Availability
A 21-day trial of SOMNIUM® DRT Atmel®
Studio Extension for SMART MCUs can be downloaded free of charge
from the Atmel Gallery. An annual license with full commercial
support is available from SOMNIUM for $750
USD.
