DS-5 Development Studio
NEWSLETTER 2015
Complete software development on any ARM processor
Now with everything you need
for ARMv8 development in the
new DS-5 Ultimate Edition
ARMv8 software development
In 2014 we delivered on our promise to help you get 64bit ARM® devices to market as quickly as possible. ARM has
been supporting the ARMv8-A ecosystem with tools since
2011 and in April 2014 we introduced the all-new DS-5
Ultimate Edition. The latest member of the DS-5 family
provides everything you need for ARMv8 development,
plus all the features of DS-5 Professional Edition.
Based on the LLVM infrastructure, ARM Compiler 6 pairs
the highly optimized ARM C libraries with a modern,
modular compiler technology to give you the best from
ARM tools and open source in one toolchain for baremetal compilation.

Software development on Virtual Platforms
With ever increasing pressure on project schedules, leading
companies have turned to Virtual Platforms (simulation
models) for accelerated software development. The Models
Platform Configuration Editor (PCE) in DS-5 makes autodetecting, connecting and controlling models easier than
ever before.
DS-5 Ultimate Edition includes the ARMv8 Fixed Virtual
Platform (FVP), giving you a 64-bit ARM system model for
bare-metal, kernel and application development.

Finally, instruction trace of software execution can now be
collected from FVPs. Trace is enabled on all of our baremetal examples, making the debug experience closer than
ever to that of the real silicon.

ARM Compiler 5 now TÜV SÜD certified
At ARM TechCon 2014 we announced the TÜV SÜD certification of the industry-standard
ARM Compiler 5 for safety-related software development. The TÜV certification enables
customers to use ARM Compiler 5 for safety-related development up to SIL3 (IEC 61508)
or ASILD (ISO 26262) without further qualification activities. An extended maintenance
program is also offered for our certified compiler.
The TÜV certification complements the ARM Compiler Qualification Kit which contains
the Safety Manual, Development Process Document, Test Report and Defect Report. The
certified compiler and ARM Compiler Qualification Kit are included within DS-5 Ultimate Edition at no additional
cost.

Optimization of Android and Linux embedded systems
Giving you better insight into how your software executes than ever before, the DS-5 Streamline performance
analyzer makes it easy to optimize for ARM-based systems. Recent upgrades to Streamline include support for
profiling OAT files generated by the new Android ART (32/64-bit), capture of system data from the ftrace tracing
framework, user-space profiling without need for rebuilding the kernel, and visualization of OpenCL kernel execution
on both the CPU and GPU.
