American Arium Announces Debug Support for New Intel® Low Power Platform

Arium's Latest Debug Solution Supports the Intel® Atom™ Processor

TUSTIN, CA, April 2, 2008 /Market Wire/ -- American Arium, an industry leader in hardware-assisted development tools, today announced debug support for the Intel® Atom™ processor Z500 series. Arium’s hardware-assisted debug solution comes in the form of the company’s ECM-XDP3 JTAG emulator and latest SourcePoint™ debug interface. The Intel Atom processor is based on Intel’s new 45nm Hi-k low power microarchitecture.

 “Arium’s goal is to always be on the cutting edge of the latest technological developments,” said Larry Traylor, American Arium’s CEO. “As a member of the Intel® Embedded and Communications Alliance, we work particularly hard to support the latest Intel innovations. We designed the ECM-XDP3 and the Arium software interface with the Intel Atom processor and similar processors in mind.”

 The ECM-XDP3 is Arium’s latest “green” in-target probe, complying with the RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directive specified for the EU market. SourcePoint, the company’s flagship debugger, offers the program and firmware developer unsurpassed visibility to and manipulation of code via a series of intuitive screens and dialogs with numerous viewing and customization options. The debug solution operates in real time with all core frequencies and works with today’s most popular compiler tool chains. It supports industry-standard input file formats and includes a robust C-like command language as well as support for the Intel® Framework for UEFI. 

Intel’s newest low power platform is ideal for Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs) and Ultra-Mobile PCs (UMPCs). In addition to the Intel Atom processor, the platform also includes the Intel® System Controller Hub (SCH) US15W, Intel’s latest integrated single-chip chipset.

 “American Arium offers third-party development tools for the new Intel Atom platform,” said Jonathan Luse, director of marketing, Low Power Embedded Products Division, Intel. “It’s another tool for our customers as they incorporate the platform into their products rapidly.”

 The Arium ECM-XDP3 emulator with SourcePoint is available now. Contact American Arium for the latest updates.
