element14 becomes the first enablement services partner for the ARM mbed platform
lement14 has been announced as the first third-party services partner for mbed, the development platform that allows developers to quickly create products based on ARM microcontrollers. The partnership will bring the ARM development platform and tools to a much wider range of boards and products, with element14 working alongside customers to train engineers and designers. The mbed platform provides free software libraries, hardware designs and online tools for professional rapid prototyping of products based on ARM microcontrollers. It includes a standards- based C/C++ SDK, a microcontroller HDK and supported development boards, an online compiler and online developer collaboration tools. As a services partner, mbed will train engineers within element14’s wholly-owned subsidiary Embest, to use the hardware and enable mbed’s delivery regardless of platform and existing software. With its popular online community and expertise at every stage of the design cycle, element14 is an ideal partner for mbed. Through its embedded design expertise at Embest and AVID Technologies, element14 will also be offering customers the option to include mbed as part of new and existing products. This will open up the full range of development boards to mbed, allowing engineers to quickly and easily get closer to the chip functionality and to utilise ARM design tools. “element14 is the first services provider to the ARM mbed developer community and proof of the

new range of opportunity this rapidly-expanding ecosystem offers,” said Simon Ford, director of platforms, IoT business, ARM. “element14’s large online community provides engineers and companies with expertise at every stage of the design cycle. This shared knowledge will help expand the mbed community and accelerate successful deployment of Internet of Things devices.” “This is the latest in a series of key partnerships with some of the biggest names in the electronics
industry, all of which give our customers access to the best product & services including software development tools,” said David Shen, CTO at Premier Farnell. “mbed is a rapidly growing platform and one that is particularly relevant for applications in the Internet of Things (IoT) space. We’ve been working on some really exciting projects in this area that will be announced in due course.”

New MULTI® software development environment G
reen Hills Software, the largest independent software vendor for the
Internet of Things (IoT), has announced a new MULTI® software development environment for embedded Linux developers. MULTI for Linux leapfrogs all other solutions in the market. Until now, the state of the art for debugging Linux was a sad combination of print statements, command-line tools, and rudimentary graphical debuggers that are difficult to learn, setup, and use and lack the powerful control and visibility that modern electronic systems demand. This lack of high quality development tools presents a tremendous time-to-market and product robustness barrier to IoT designers, both seasoned and new. Green Hills Software’s MULTI enables developers to seamlessly control and debug all aspects of an embedded Linux system, including the Linux kernel, kernel threads, user mode threads and processes, and interrupt service routines (ISRs), all from a single tool. Developers can simultaneously interact with these entities in a single window or in separate windows per instance. MULTI enables developers to quickly master the most difficult device development challenges, including kernel panics, execution and data flows between user processes and the kernel, early hardware bring-up, device drivers, and performance analysis and tuning. “The Internet of Things presents challenges and opportunities that demand powerful, flexible, scalable, cost-effective development platforms,” commented Nathan Field, MULTI manager, Green Hills Software. “Linux developers will be amazed at how MULTI makes their everyday software development tasks easier, faster, and even fun.”
Key capabilities of Green Hills Software¹s Linux debugging and development suite include: • Support for all modern embedded Linux versions, regardless of download source or Linux support vendor, and including Android distributions • Leverages the Green Hills Probe JTAG device for “stop-mode” debugging of kernel, ISRs, and user mode applications • Leverages I/O peripheral connections for “run-mode” debugging of applications, where the CPU is never halted • Fully multicore/SMP aware • Advanced visualization and manipulation of Linux kernel data structures, including shared memory regions, semaphores, and message queues • Advanced run control features available in stop-mode and run-mode enable seamless debugging of newly created threads and processes, zero-overhead breakpoints to enable visibility without intrusiveness, and the ability to debug system calls based on specific calling threads • Full visibility into application adjuncts, including shared objects and libraries, loadable kernel modules, and other intercommunicating applications • Powerful software browsing, editing, and exploration capabilities
• Support for GNU GCC C/C++ compilers with optional support for Green Hills C/C++ compilers Green Hills Software
