Tool Suite Provides Solutions for the PLX IOP 480 PowerPC I/O Processor

A tool suite is introduced, made up of TASKING's Embedded Development Environment (EDE), optimized ANSI C/C++ compiler, assembler and CrossView Pro debugger, offering high levels of integration and I/O performance.

The tool suite has been designed to shorten the debugging process through faster problem identification. Graphical data analysis provides visual diagrams for large data sets, enabling developers to easily detect and analyze errors in the input signal. Using the enhanced register windows, developers can group registers into meaningful sets, such as general purpose, floating point or UART, and display only critical registers. With BubbleSpy technology, designers identify variable contents by moving a mouse over the source window.

The IOP 480 brings integration and I/O performance to embedded systems and PCI adapter card designs. Offering extensive functionality and flexibility, the IOP 480 includes a 32-bit, 33-MHz PCI bus, a flexible 32-bit, 66-MHz local bus, PCI V2.2 specification, power management and CompactPCI hot swap support.
