Mentor Graphics Corporation announced its agreement with AMD to provide embedded Linux tools for AMD 64-bit ARM-based processors using the Mentor Embedded Sourcery CodeBench Lite offering. To address the growing complexity of embedded systems, AMD embedded customers will have access to the Sourcery CodeBench technology for development and debugging applications for Linux-based embedded systems.

AMD and Mentor Graphics in 2014 agreed to create an embedded software ecosystem for developers to access open-source, embedded C/C++ development tools to build embedded software in complex heterogeneous architectures based on AMD's 64-bit ARM-based processors. The AMD 64-bit ARM-based processors target next-generation embedded data center applications, communications and networking infrastructure, and industrial solutions.

The Sourcery CodeBench Professional solution optimizes embedded development quality and productivity, critical for advanced server applications based on AMD's 64-bit ARM-based processors running Linux. Embedded developers will be able to access system insight on software execution, performance and debugging of Linux-based embedded systems. The Mentor Embedded Sourcery CodeBench product enables the development of embedded systems on microcontrollers and microprocessors for RTOS, bare metal, and Linux-based applications. The Sourcery CodeBench tool and the integrated Sourcery Analyzer tool help developers to identify and fix functional and performance issues in complex embedded systems.

Sourcery CodeBench Tool - Key Features, Benefits and Support
As part of the agreement between AMD and Mentor Graphics, embedded developers will have free access to the following customized embedded Linux development products:

  • Sourcery CodeBench Lite for 64-bit ARM GNU/Linux
  • Complete GNU-based C/C++ development toolchain for custom Linux target platform development
  • GNU Debugger for Linux application debug
  • Windows and Linux host –based development options
