Mentor Embedded S P E C S H E E T ReadyStart Nucleus Platform for Atmel SAM9263 Platform Highlights: Ready-to-use development platform with drivers, connectivity middleware, development tools, and graphical user interface runtime Complete ReadyStart BSP available Targeted for applications in home and building automation; industrial automation; mobile electronics; and PC peripherals Packaged practices/services to extend/customize BSP support Driver Support: Two Wire Interface: I2C Ethernet: MAC 10/100 Storage: Safe files system on RAM disk, External bus interface, Safe file system on NAND Flash, and FAT file system on RAM disk Power Management Controller SDIO: Two multimedia card interfaces Serial: Debug unit (default standard I/O) and universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter Wireless LAN: Atheros AR6k2 device SPI: Two serial peripheral interfaces USB Function and Host Port Display: VGA TFT LCD display Touch Screen Overview The enablement platform for today's developers, the Mentor® Embedded ReadyStart™ platform brings together integrated software IP, tools, and services into a single, "ready-to-use" solution ideal for applications where a small footprint, deterministic performance, and small code size are essential and tightly coupled with the Atmel SAM9263 hardware. The SAM9263 microcontroller-based system-on-chip embeds a 200 MIPS ARM926EJ-S-based processor. Its parallel bus architecture incorporating distributed DMA overcomes the bottlenecks that occur with conventional ARM9-based MCUs in graphically-interfaced, data-intensive applications such as networked medical monitoring equipment and GPS navigation systems.

Embedded software development today A new paradigm has emerged in the embedded industry. Semiconductor companies have moved away from silicon only to system companies - building application-ready, hardware/software-specific platforms. Software developers are tasked to do more in a fraction of the time. Developers must also design their systems to accommodate ever-increasing processing power while staying within a given power budget and incorp- orate multicore/multi-OS architectures. If today's developers are to meet these challenges, they will need to work within an all-inclusive, highly integrated,...
