DS-5 gives you a core set of tools to make sure the most critical software on your system works efficiently and reliably.
DS-5 Development Studio is a suite of tools for embedded C/C++ software development on any Arm-based SoC, featuring editor, compilers, debugger and system profiler.
DS-5 Features
DS-5 Ultimate Edition includes:
| 1 | Arm compilation tools (Arm Compiler 5 and LLVM-based Arm Compiler 6, including safety-certified versions of both compilers). |  |
| 2 | System autodetection to simplify JTAG debug and trace via CoreSight using the DSTREAM or DSTREAM-ST debug probes. | |
| 3 | Streamline for a visual approach to system optimization and performance analysis. | |
| 4 | Armv7 and Armv8 Fixed Virtual Platform for software development without a hardware target. |
DS-5 Editions
|
DS-5 comes in three different editions, which are license-managed from a single installation.
|
DS-5 Ultimate Edition supports the very latest Arm processors and technology, such as Armv8.Download it here » DS-5 Professional Edition supports all Arm processors up to and including Armv7, providing exceptional debug and trace capabilities as well as access to Arm Compilers. DS-5 Community Edition is free, enabling access to a limited feature set of DS-5 Debugger and Streamline. Features include bare-metal and Linux application debug, and simulation with the Armv8-A Foundation Model. Download it here » |
