Analog Devices' Eases Development with Expanded Software Tools Support

New processor support for ADI's industry recognized Visual DSP++ integrated development environment and AxiomFount's AxiDotNet brings seamless integration of Microsoft's® .NET™ Micro Framework

Norwood, MA ORWOOD, MA (PRWEB) February 8, 2009 -- Analog Devices Inc. (ADI) reaffirms its commitment to its SHARC (http://www.analog.com/en/embedded-processing-dsp/sharc/processors/index.html) and Blackfin (http://www.analog.com/processors/blackfin/index.html) processor developer community by expanding access to their robust development tools ecosystem. The SHARC 2146x processor family is now supported by ADI's VisualDSP++ software development environment, whereas, with AxiomFount's AxiDotNet (http://www.axiomfount.com/AxiDotNet_solution.htm), developers working with the Blackfin BF52x family have integrated access to Microsoft's .NET Micro Framework 3.0 (http://www.microsoft.com/netmf/).

Streamlining a design's time to market, Analog Devices' VisualDSP ++ integrated development and debug environment integrates a graphical user interface and code generation and debugging tools, enabling programmers to move easily between editing, building, debugging and deployment of new products. Easy to use, it allows developers to efficiently manage the full development cycle with a single interface.

AxiomFount's AxiDotNet provides seamless system integration of Microsoft .NET Micro Framework 3.0 along with Visual Studio tools for Blackfin processors. The AxiDotNet solutions combine programming abstractions provided by the .NET Micro Framework with optimized, configurable and customizable Blackfin specific AxiDotNet libraries which significantly reduce embedded product development time and cost.
