'Red Suite 2' Software Development Tools

Red Suite™ 2: Professional tools for less than $1000

Red Suite by Code Red is a highly integrated software development environment for ARM-based Microcontrollers, which includes all the tools necessary to develop high quality software solutions in a timely and cost effective fashion.

The Red Suite IDE is based on Eclipse with many Microcontroller specific enhancements. It also features the latest version of the industry standard GNU toolchain with our own optimized C library allowing us to provide professional quality tools at low cost.

Features

The Red Suite Integrated Development Environment (IDE) provides a C/C++ programming environment second to none, with syntax-coloring, source formatting, function folding, online and offline integrated help, extensive project management automation and integrated source repository support (CVS integrated or Subversion via download).
Features include:

• Wizards create projects for all supported microcontrollers
• Automatic linker script generation including support for microcontroller memory maps
• Direct download to flash when debugging
• Built-in datasheet browser
• Support for ARM7 (e.g. LPC2000), Cortex-M3 (e.g. LPC1700, LPC1300) and Cortex-M0 (LPC1100) based microcontrollers
  

With Cortex-M3 based microcontrollers, Red Suite can take advantage of its advanced features, including:

• Full support for Serial Wire Viewing (SWV) through our Red Trace™ technology -- unique in its class of tools
• No assembler required, even for start-up code and interrupt handlers.
  

Peripheral and Register Views

The peripheral viewer provides complete visibility of all registers and bit-fields in all target peripherals in a simple tree-structured display.

A powerful processor-register viewer is provided that gives access to all processors register and provides smart formatting for complex registers such as flags and status registers.

Red Trace

When used with Cortex-M3 based Microcontrollers, the integrated Red Trace functionality gives the developer an unprecedented level of visibility into what is really happening on the target device. Unlike traditional trace solutions, Red Trace is a non-stopping technology that continues to gather information completely non-intrusively as the target code executes.

Red Probe™: JTAG/SWD Debug Probe for ARM-based Microcontrollers (optional)

Red Probe is a high speed USB debug probe specially designed for use with ARM-based Microcontrollers.

Featuring complete integration with Red Suite, Red Probe allows high speed download to RAM and direct programming of on-chip Flash.

When  used with Cortex-M3 targets, built-in support for SWV allows full support for data trace, instruction and exception profiling and application sourced diagnostics.

Together with Red Suite, Red Probe provides a complete development and debug environment for ARM-based microcontrollers
