The integrated waveform viewer lets the programmer see changes at a pin and link them to the C code. It is easy to program and then simulate IO hardware, control software and DSP functions from the same eclipse C tools used to code programs.”
Foster continued: “We have over 400 customers and are adding 50 new customers a month so bringing new users up-to speed quickly is a priority. This new release of our development environment, which is available free of charge, makes it easier to get started with XMOS technology.”
A major new feature of the latest XMOS IDE is a unique waveform viewer which provides hardware designers with a simple way to relate signal waveforms to C code. A series of new interactive hands-on tutorials for getting started designing with the XC-1 and XC-2 development boards is also included.
