ARM Offers New Low-Cost Evaluation Board.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 25, 2000 ARM (LSE LSE - Language Sensitive Editor :ARM)(Nasdaq:ARMHY), the industry's leading provider of 16/32-bit embedded RISC processor RISC processor [Reduced Instruction Set Computer], computer arithmetic-logic unit that uses a minimal instruction set, emphasizing the instructions used most often and optimizing them for the fastest possible execution. solutions, today announced the availability of Evaluator-7T, an ARM7TDMI(R) core-based evaluation board that provides a low-cost platform for running benchmarks and testing code prior to full system design. The board, which supports the ARM(R) Thumb(R) instruction set, is available immediately from ARM. "The Evaluator-7T is ideal for engineers who need a cost-effective vehicle for assessing the benefits of the ARM architecture," stated Gordon Stubberfield, Hardware Platforms product manager for ARM. "The board is also an excellent tool for educators who are teaching the latest in embedded system-on-chip design methodologies, for which the ARM architecture is particularly well-suited." The ARM7TDMI evaluation board features a Samsung KS32C50100 microcontroller, 512K boot ROM, SRAM See static RAM. SRAM - static random-access memory , two serial ports, and LEDs for user I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output . It also comes with power supply, and evaluation copy of the ARM Developers Suite(TM) (ADS) toolkit, firmware, debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. monitor, documentation, and software examples. Evaluator-7T is priced at $199, and can be purchased via the ARM Web site www.arm.com or through ARM sales offices.
