Embedded Support Tools Corp. to supply hardware development tools for ColdFire 5202 Family.(NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :MOT) High Performance 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. Division Tuesday announced that Embedded Support Tools Corp. (EST EST electroshock therapy. EST abbr. electroshock therapy Corp.) will make available a suite of hardware development tools for Motorola's ColdFire MCF5202 microprocessor. EST Corp. plans to introduce its ColdFire 5202 evaluation and prototyping system in Q4 1995, followed by a complete MCF5202 version of its visionICE scalable in-circuit emulator See ICE. in Q1 1996. EST Corp. anticipates introducing an event system by Q2 1996. ``As a leading supplier of emulators and boards for Motorola's 68300 and PowerPC families, we are eager to have the opportunity to develop support tools for Motorola's ColdFire products,'' said Jim Watkins Jim Watkins, an Ohio native, is the co-anchor of the weekday edition of CW11 News at Ten on WPIX-TV. He joined the station in 1998 after three years working at WNBC-TV in New York. , EST Corp.'s vice president of sales and marketing. ``We expect the ColdFire family to be highly successful in the cost-sensitive advanced consumer electronics market, and are looking forward to continuing our work with Motorola.'' ``EST's evaluation and prototyping system, one of the first available for ColdFire, provides design engineers with the emulation capabilities needed as they design applications integrating the new ColdFire microprocessors,'' said Mark Taylor People known as Mark Taylor include:
EST Corp.'s visionICE emulator for the MCF5202 is comprised of vision/CONTROL, the base system and target controller for the visionICE emulator; vision/EVENT, which may be added to visionICE when high-end, real-time emulation and logic analysis is required during debugging; vision/NET for full Ethernet network support; vision/MEM, which delivers up to 4 Megabytes of overlay RAM; and SBC (1) (SBC Communications Inc., San Antonio, TX, www.sbc.com) A large, national telecommunications company that grew from a multitude of local and regional companies, including Southwestern Bell, Pacific Bell and Nevada Bell, into a single, unified brand by 2002. 860, a complete evaluation board for hardware prototyping and early software development. visionICE for ColdFire supports a unique Open Software Interface, which gives developers the freedom to use their preferred software development toolkit. visionICE fully supports Integrated Systems Inc.'s pSOSystem, Software Development System's SingleStep and Cygnus Support's (GBD GBD Global Burden of Disease GBD Glass Break Detector (security systems) GBD Golden, Brown and Delicious GBD Ground Branch Director GBD Global Burst Detector GBD Generation Breakdown GBD Geometric Data Base ). Other third-party tools will be added as they become available. With the addition of the ColdFire Family to Motorola's embedded portfolio, embedded systems designers now have a complete range of embedded solutions: 68K for lowest-cost embedded solutions, ColdFire for price/performance sensitive solutions that reduce overall system cost and PowerPC for the highest-performance embedded solution available today. Embedded Support Tools was founded in 1988 by principals with more than 15 years of combined 68000 Family hardware and software development experience. Since then, EST Corp. has become a leading vendor of value-priced development tools and environments for the 68000 Family. The company's focus is on real-time emulation and cross software tools for Motorola's CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. 32 (683xx) and 68HC16 integrated microcontrollers. EST Corp.'s emulators, real-time trace modules, overlay memory modules, single board computers and software tools are designed for the full life cycle of development, including chip and system evaluation, software simulation, hardware prototyping, hardware/software integration, source-level debugging, performance tuning Performance tuning is the improvement of system performance. This is typically a computer application, but the same methods can be applied to economic markets, bureaucracies or other complex systems. and production test. Having 1994 worldwide sales of $6.9 billion, Motorola's Semiconductor Products Sector is the largest U.S.-based broad line supplier of semiconductors, with a balanced portfolio of more than 50,000 devices. Motorola is one of the world's leading providers of wireless communication, semiconductors and advanced electronic systems and services. Major equipment businesses include cellular telephone, two-way radio A voice network that provides an always-on connection enabling the user to just "push the button and talk." Also called "dispatch radio," two-way radio has traditionally been used by police, fire, taxi and other mobile fleets. , paging and data communications, personal communications, automotive, defense and space electronics and computers. Communications devices, computers and millions of consumer products are powered by Motorola's semiconductors. Motorola's 1994 sales were $22.2 billion.
