Hitex Development Tools offers a compact „all-in-one“ evaluation board right in time with the newly introduced XMC4000 architecture from Infineon based on the Cortex-M4 core from ARM. The board named XMC-HiLight comes with a bunch of functions such as communication (WLAN, LAN, USB), slide control, LED matrix control, RGB, A/D on just one board.

The latest version (V2.9.48) of Tessy, the tool for automated unit / module / integration testing of embedded software, supports now the debugger from the Eclipse project CDT (C/C++ Development Tooling).

Hitex Development Tools announces comprehensive support for the newly introduced XMC4000 family from Infineon Technologies. Frank Grobe, Managing Director at Hitex, said: “Infineon now combines for the first time its competence in application-optimized peripherals with an ARM Cortex-M4 core. As a development partner, we not only support the XMC4000 family with necessary tools, but also with consulting and the involvement of our partners”.

The latest version V6.2f of RiskCAT supports the FDIS (Final Draft International Standard) of the automotive standard ISO 26262. RiskCAT helps the user to cope with this standard. For instance, all measures of this standard can be listed, which have at a given ASIL (Automotive Safety Integrity Level) the obligation “highly recommended”. Furthermore, for instance, all measures related to a given keyword or a given work product can be selected.

The latest version of Tessy, a tool to automate unit / integration testing of embedded software, now offers an enhanced support of the ASAP2 standard. Tessy can use the standard’s conversion rules to change a (physical) test input value into a binary value which then can be used for the test. On the contrary, Tessy can convert binary test results into physical formats the test engineer is used to. This allows him to work in a familiar way when...

For NXP’s new Cortex-M3-based LPC1800 microcontrollers, Hitex now offers the Evaluation Board LPC1850 ensuring an easy evaluation of the LPC1800 family’s main features.

Hitex Development Tools has been honored at this year’s Embedded World with the Embedded AWARD 2011 for its especially innovative safety concept. After 2008 and 2010 Hitex has now been selected for this prestigious award for the third time which pays respect to the company’s outstanding innovation.

ARM/Keil and Hitex announce the Keil ULINKpro debugger’s adaptation to the analysis tool PowerScale which has been honored with the Embedded Award 2010. The combination of these tools allows an exact analysis of the embedded application’s energy consumption during modifying parameters. Typically available to developers for optimizing consumption are parameters such as deactivating peripherals, use of different low-power modes or reducing cloc...

The latest version of Tessy, the tool for automated module/unit/integration testing of embedded software, now enables to incorporate hardware in unit and integration testing. The hardware under test either can be the on-chip peripherals of a microcontroller or hardware external to the microcontroller. This enables a so-called hardware-in-the-loop test for unit and integration testing. Such a test makes especially sense if the microcontroller is ...

Hitex Development Tools introduces neoVI-MOTE, a new CAN bus remote controller developed by Intrepid Control Systems to make working with the CAN bus easier. The hand-held tool is specially designed for in-vehicle operation.

Hitex Development Tools was a significant project partner in the realization of the new, innovative platform for medical devices recently launched by Infineon. With the successful completion of this project, Hitex impressively underlines its expertise as a development and production service provider.

For safety-critical applications in compliance with SIL (IEC 61508) or ASIL (ISO 26262) Hitex now offers the safety library SaveTcore for Infineon’s TriCore microcontrollers.

Hitex Development Tools announces the availability of Tessy V2.9.32. Tessy is a tool to automate module/unit and integration testing of embedded software.

RiskCAT, distributed by Hitex, supports the efficient application of standards and norms for safety-critical electronic systems.

Vehicle Spy, the universal software for vehicle networking, is now equipped with full UDS (Unified Diagnostic Services) support. The UDS protocol allows to transmit diagnostic data and to update functions in an on-vehicle electronic control unit. UDS is specified in ISO 14229.

Hitex Development Tools introduces neoVI-MOTE, a new CAN bus remote controller developed by Intrepid Control Systems to make working with the CAN bus easier. The hand-held tool is specially designed for in-vehicle operation.

Hitex introduces HiTOP 5.40, the latest release of their universal software debugger. The major feature in this version is full support for Windows 7 32-/64-bit.

At the embedded world 2010 PowerScale from Hitex has received the embedded AWARD 2010 as especially innovative product. It is the first time a company has been honored with this prestigious award in the “tools” category for the second time.

Hitex Design UK and Pebble Bay have agreed a strategic partnership that will enable the two companies to offer a uniquely capable service for software and hardware integration and embedded development. With Hitex Design UK a leader in hardware design and Pebble Bay a world leader in board support and device driver software, this collaboration is expected to be an attractive service to hi-tech development companies around the world; helping compan...

In its latest version 6.1, the tool RiskCAT (distributed by Hitex) provides essential enhancements and support for ISO 26262 (DIS). RiskCAT for ISO 26262 allows for instance comparing this standard to IEC 61508 (SIL 3) according to various aspects. E.g. RiskCAT displays all measures, which are logically present in both standards, but expressed differently.
