RLink from Raisonance for STM32 and other devices

RLink and RLink PRO Debugger and Programmer

RLink is a versatile microcontroller debugger and programmer supporting a range of target interfaces (JTAG, SWD, SWIM, ICC, ...) implemented on ST7, STM8, STM8S, STM32, LPC2000, LPC1700, LPC1300, LPC1100 and many other devices that have a Cortex-M3 core integrated.

RLink Debugger Programmer

RLink is a high-performance solution for connecting to a wide range of 32-bit and 8-bit microcontrollers to program the target device and debug applications in real-time. It is available as a standalone device or integrated on multiple evaluation hardware options from Raisonance. The features are similar to ULink and J-Link, yet the cost for a commercially viable solution is much lower. Platforms that have RLink integrated are Primer, Primer2, REva boards and Open4, the latest development tool from Raisonance. 

RLink technology is at the foundation of a range of our application development hardware including:

    *      RLink standalone debugger/programmers
    *      Primer device-specific development platforms with dedicated USB connection for debugging and programming
    *      REva evaluation and development platforms with dedicated USB connection for debugging and programming

Standalone and REva mounted RLinks, connect to application or evaluation boards via JTAG standard connection, SWD connection, STMicroelectronics' SWIM connection, or STMicroelectronics' In-Circuit Communication (ICC) connection.

RLink is driven by Ride7, the Raisonance IDE, an integrated development environment for debugging and programming of microcontroller applications. In combination with our RFlasher programming software, it also provides a low cost, dedicated microcontroller programmer.

IAR adds up to 30% in power saving for AVR32

IAR Systems announced AVR32 support in IAR Embedded Workbench and claims reduction of overall power consumption by as much as 30%.

Let me think for a moment what that tells me about the AVRstudio. Does Atmel provide tools to their customers that waste up to 30% of the power savings? AVRstudio is the major tool chain out in the field supporting AVR32. As Mr. Øyvind Strøm, Atmel’s director for AVR32 products is also quoted in the underlying press release, there must be some truth to the statement, or what do you think?  ....
