Red Suite: Development tools for Luminary Micro Stellaris® 32-bit Microcontrollers

Red Suite is a complete software development platform for 32-bit microcontroller devices available to target Luminary Micro Stellaris® Cortex-M3 based microcontrollers.

Red Suite integrates Code Trace™ Real Time Trace capability delivering features never before available to microcontroller developers. Code Trace capitalizes on the serial wire viewing (SWV) technology in Stellaris microcontrollers to deliver unprecedented visibility during debug. Code Trace delivers high accuracy profiling, interrupt statistics, interrupt tracing, RTOS event tracing and a useful and unique no overhead host-strings viewing mechanism, which provides printf style debugging and logging without any of the intrusiveness typical to other embedded debug methods. Interrupt tracing provides impressive graphical visualization of what is really going on in a real time system.

Red Suite has been developed from the ground up for 32-bit microcontroller application developments and offers a complete professional development environment for C, C++ and assembler programming, with features and facilities previously unavailable in the microcontroller market. The new features include MCU specific project wizards, a full embedded debugger, text indentation, function folding, online and offline integrated MCU help, extensive project management automation and integrated source repository support. These MCU-specific features facilitate the rapid creation of the necessary startup and initialization code for programming a Stellaris microcontroller.

Built on the solid Eclipse IDE with extensive enhancements added by Code Red Technologies, Red Suite is delivered as a simple single installer, and provides a seamless environment for development. Project wizards create linker scripts and all startup code required to have embedded applications running on your target in minutes. Red Suite also works with RTOSes for designs where the resources of a real-time kernel are required, and includes a FreeRTOS.org™ project wizard.

These coordinated enhancements allow much faster development, debug, test, and profiling of applications, allowing shorter time to market for even the most complex MCU based applications. The integrated advanced debugger provides automatic Flash download (when needed), and full access to the innovative peripherals integrated in Stellaris microcontrollers, including an interactive display of all peripherals and registers on the devices. For ease of use, all registers and bit-fields are displayed in their natural formats.
