Modern embedded systems are becoming increasingly complex, driven by more intricate processing architectures. Multiple cores, shared memory & peripherals, multi-function pins, and multiple clock domains all pose challenges for system developers seeking to optimize their designs and get to market quickly. One of the keys to navigating these challenges is having a toolset that is open, intuitive, and flexible enough to take control of the design process. In response, ADI has introduced CodeFusion Studio^™, a new development environment with features including heterogeneous debugging, pin and clock config tools, system planning, and more that will enable developers take control of their designs and accelerate development.
