Dolphin Integration announces a new release of its innovative IDE for the RISC-V ecosystem

Grenoble, France - July 24, 2018 -- Embedded software development is one of the major focuses to work on in order to reduce Time-to-Market of microcontroller based products. To this end, the need for a complete and integrated development environment is crucial. Indeed, an industrial solution with ready-to-use and configurable MCU subsystems, together with advanced debug features, enables to facilitate and accelerate each software development phases.

After providing in free download its innovative IDE supporting the RISC-V microcontrollers, Dolphin Integration announces today the availability of its new release: SmartVison™ 2.4.0

This new release is enhanced thanks to new innovative features and the support of more RISC-V ISA extensions:

• Support of the “F” instruction set extension for single precision floating point registers and operations
• New stack-unwinding tool in the debug toolbox to speed-up application program debug by giving access to program execution stack frames
• Several new pre-defined MCU subsystems based on the RV32 Tornado both in simulation and emulation for reducing application development time and for easily use RISC-V peripherals
• FreeRTOS support for RV32 Tornado to debug efficiently RTOS-based applications
• New intuitive wizard for the creation of RISC-V subsystem projects and the generation of RTL configuration files

Moreover, a beta version of the virtual debug for RV32 Tornado is now available. It allows co-simulation of the RTL code along the C application software for instruction-level debug with the possibility to visualize the complete design signals, design registers and the program variables

As a reminder, SmartVision^TM IDE is an open environment allowing the design of complete subsystems based on processor cores and peripherals. Its use for application software development and debug is two-fold:

• In simulation: thanks to sub-system modelling, including peripherals and memories, with power consumption estimation
• On-chip: combined with an In-Circuit Emulator (ICE), BIRD™, and an USB adapter named S-Link

SmartVision^TM IDE is available in free download following this link.
