Lauterbach and Beyond Semiconductor Partner for Easier System Development with BA22 Royalty Free 32-bit Processors
24.01.2012



Ljubljana, Slovenia and Hoehenkirchen-Sigertsbrunn, Germany - January 24, 2012 - Beyond Semiconductor, a developer of efficient, low-power microprocessor intellectual property (IP), and Lauterbach, a manufacturer of microprocessor development tools, today announce that the TRACE32® debuggers from Lauterbach fully support the Beyond BA22™ family of processor cores.

The TRACE32 tools provide quick, effective BA22 processor debugging through a standard JTAG interface for the entire debug process, including code download, flash programming and source code debugging. These tools can be connected to either Windows or Linux hosts via USB 2.0 or Ethernet 10/100/1000 ports. The included TRACE32 PowerView software provides an efficient and user-friendly high-level language (HLL) debugger for C and C++, as well as Linux operating system awareness.

The Beyond BA22 family is a fast, compact, power-saving implementation of a modern 32-bit RISC architecture. The configurable processor IP family extends from deeply-embedded CPUs ideal for demanding, ultra-low-power SoC designs, up to high-performance application processor cores running operation systems such as Linux. High performance/power and performance/area efficiencies coupled with this configurability make the BA22 an excellent replacement for 8-bit 8051 CPUs while also providing a competitive long-term upgrade path for system designers.

"Customers are building increasingly complex applications around our BA22 processors, and need more advanced software debug tools with operating system awareness. We are excited that they can now choose proven Lauterbach TRACE32 tools to shorten their software development cycle, even to debug multiprocessor/multicore system with mixed Beyond and 3rd party CPU cores", said Matjaz Breskvar, chief executive officer of Beyond Semiconductor.

"With TRACE32, the growing numbers of developers using BA22, have now access to a full range of debug functionality, from bootstrap code to interrupt routines and drivers. Lauterbach is committed to continue bringing additional features and future extensions to customers using Beyond Semiconductor BA22 family of processors". said Norbert Weiss, International Sales & Marketing Manager at Lauterbach.
