Applied Microsystems Announces New Tools for New Intel Network Processors.Business Editors and Technology Writers Intel Developer Forum Intel Developer Forum (IDF), is a twice yearly gathering of technologists to discuss Intel products and products based around Intel products. The first IDF was in 1997. There is usually a Spring IDF and a Fall IDF. 2002 Booth #524 SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 26, 2002 Embedded Software Instructions that permanently reside in a ROM or flash memory chip. Embedded software may be immediately available to the CPU or, for faster execution, may be transferred to RAM first and then executed. Tools to Expedite Intel(R) XScale(TM) Technology-based Board Bring Up and Application Development Applied Microsystems Corp. (Nasdaq:APMC APMC Application (Server) for Mail and Calendaring APMC Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference APMC Advanced Program Management Course APMC Amicale Philatélique et Marcophile Colmarienne APMC Afloat Personnel Management Center ), today announces its plan to support Intel's new Intel(R) IXP (1) (Internet EXchange Processor) See IXA. (2) (Internet eXchange Point) A public junction point on the Internet that provides an on-ramp to the Internet as well as a location for carriers to exchange traffic. 2800, IXP2400 and IXP425 Network Processors, with a full set of embedded software test, 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. and verification tools dedicated to expediting Intel(R) XScale(TM) technology-based board bring up and application development. Designed to support all three of Intel's new network processors, Applied's new solution set for network processors marks an expansion for the company into new market sectors including high performance Internet-based embedded systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. . Applied's plans include a solution set capable of Intel network processor-specific in-circuit and ROM emulation and debugging for board bring up and Board Support Package development; application level fast downloading and debugging; and comprehensive software verification Software verification is a broad and complex discipline of software engineering whose goal is to assure that a software fully satisfies all the expected requirements. There are two fundamental approaches to verification:
"Applied has been supporting Intel and its processors from the early days of the 8088 to the present day Intel(R) IXP1200 Network Processor family. Today, developers have a winning test solution that combines CodeTEST(R)'s extremely powerful performance, trace, memory and coverage tool suite, which is compatible with commercial as well as proprietary embedded operating systems, with NetROM(R), the industry's fastest ROM emulator A circuit that helps debug a ROM chip by simulating the ROM with RAM. The RAM circuit plugs into the ROM socket. Since RAM can be written over, whereas ROM cannot, programming changes can be made easily. and code download and debugging tool. The Intel XScale technology is another exciting new chapter in providing embedded software engineers the tools they need to win in today's marketplace," said Mark Budzinski Mark Joseph Budzinski (born August 23, 1973 in Severna Park, Maryland) is an American former Major League Baseball player. An outfielder, Budzinski played in four games for the Cincinnati Reds in 2003. He last played professional baseball in 2005. , vice president of sales and marketing at Applied. "Applied's history of supporting Intel developers and its current embedded software tool solution set for the IXP1200 Network Processor demonstrates the variety of options Applied offers the Intel developer community," said Doug Davis, general manager of the Intel Network Processor Division. "Applied's next generation of tools will provide equipment makers using our new IXP2800, IXP2400 and IXP425 Network Processors with the tools they'll need." Pricing & Availability The new development tool set will be available directly from Applied and is planned for release during the later half of 2002 concurrent with the availability of the new network processors. For developers using the IXP1200 Network Processor, NetROM and CodeTEST are integrated with Tornado(R) from Wind River and available immediately. For pricing and more information, please email info@amc.com. The application level tools support major commercial real time operating systems released for the Intel XScale microarchitecture.
