Atmel Introduces a New Flexible and Easy to Use Development System for Secure Microcontrollers.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 22, 2001 Atmel(R) Corporation (Nasdaq:ATML ATML Automatic Test Markup Language ATML Automated Test Markup Language ) announced today the availability of a unique new emulation system, the ATV (1) (Advanced TV) An early name for the digital TV standard proposed by the Advisory Committee on Advanced Television Service (ACATS). See ACATS. See also ATV Forum. (2) (Analog TV) Refers to the NTSC, PAL and SECAM analog TV standads. 1, designed to support hardware and software development for the entire range of AT90SC Secure Microcontroller products. The ATV1 has been designed to be both flexible and easy to use. For maximum flexibility, the system is designed to be easily upgraded to support the developer's choice of Atmel secure devices. A simple software utility guides the user quickly through the device update process, without the need for any type of hardware modifications or additions. A proprietary configuration control application allows users to configure their own hardware setup, and perform a variety of functions such as bus state analysis and code coverage. For maximum usability, the system provides support for IAR systems IAR Systems is a Swedish computer technology company working in the area of embedded system development tools. IAR Systems was founded in 1983. From 2000 to 2005, IAR was listed on the Swedish stock exchange. In 2005, the Nocom group acquired IAR and took it off the stock market. C-Spy software development front end. The ATV1 offers developers an impressive range of features including unlimited breakpoint The location in a program used to temporarily halt the program for testing and debugging. Lines of code in a source program are marked for breakpoints. When those instructions are about to be executed, the program stops, allowing the programmer to examine the status of the program capability on any hardware instruction or address, multiple resets, real-time variables and code coverage. Complex break and external triggering capability are also included. In addition to the AT90SC product family, the ATV1 system also provides emulation support for Atmel's new AT91SC family of ARM based 32bit RISC RISC in full Reduced Instruction Set Computing Computer architecture that uses a limited number of instructions. RISC became popular in microprocessors in the 1980s. secure microcontrollers. Atmel's innovative approach to the design and implementation of the ATV1 system also means that the company is able to offer this industry-leading tool at a price significantly lower than other secure microcontroller development systems on the market. Hugh Dick, Atmel's Smart Card Development Systems Manager, stated, "The release of the ATV1 Development System represents the culmination of two years of intensive R&D. The system provides a common platform on which all future Atmel Secure Microcontroller emulation systems will be based. The key to the success of the ATV1 is the use of the very latest cutting-edge technology, which has enabled us to provide a product which is uniquely flexible, but also highly secure -- a key requirement in today's smart card market." ATV1 is now available. Production quantities are available at a price of 3,500 (US) per unit.
