12月23日消息，据外媒EETasia报道，意法半导体加入ARM mbed项目，共同为物联网开发者提供支持。 ARM与意法半导体透露，意法半导体已经加入ARMmbed计划，开发者可以使用意法半导体基于ARM Cortex-M处理器系列的STM32 MCU（微程序控制器，Microprogrammed Control Unit），免费使用MBED软件、开发工具以及线上协作平台。据该公司称这将实现新的电子产品潮流。
ARM mbed是一个培育物联网（IoT）的协作项目，并能满足专业开发人员的需求。该项目提供免费的工具、基本的开源硬件及软件为基于ARM的设备的快速发展添砖加瓦。该项目的连接、传感器及云服务的软件和工具集成简单，并有动态的开发合作生态系统支持。 意法半导体的STM32 MCU最低售价仅0.32美元，可主导全应用谱，仅用简单的产品应对整个平台解决方案。结合mbed平台可以提供软件的可移植性，多样性的连接选项和快速的发展，带来全方位的物联网应用。 “该mbed项目将领先的技术公司结合起来，使嵌入式设备生产力进一步提高”，ARM物联网平台主管西蒙·福特（Simon Ford）说。“我们已经从网络和智能机的革命中学到，构建一个拥有可重组软件、免费的开发和协作工具的开源软件平台，我们可以用难以想象的规模创造物联网和智能设备。” “通过加入mbed项目，意法半导体可以使开发人员能够针对不同市场快速创建基于领先的MT32微处理器的新产品”，意法半导体MCU市场经理丹尼尔·科隆纳（Daniel Colonna）说。 第一款拥有mbed功能的STM32开发板将于2014年2月面世，其他开发板也将陆续上市。 以下为原文： ARM and STMicroelectronics have revealedthat ST has joined the ARM mbed project that gives developers using ST's STM32MCUs, based on the ARM Cortex-M processor series, free access to the mbed software,development tools and online collaboration platform. According to the firm,this would enable them to realize their own visions for the new wave ofintelligent electronics products. ARM mbed is a collaborative industryproject to nurture the Internet of Things (IoT) and meet the needs of a newprofessional developer audience. It delivers free tools and fundamentalopen-source hardware and software building blocks for the rapid development ofinnovative ARM-based devices. The project also enables the easy integration ofconnectivity, sensor and cloud service software components and the tools andsupport for a dynamic, collaborative developer and partner ecosystem. ST's STM32 MCU range starts at starts atjust $0.32, and addresses the full spectrum of applications from simpleproducts to entire platform solutions. Combined with the mbed platform, thisoffers software portability, diverse connectivity options and a rapiddevelopment approach for a full range of IoT applications. "The mbed project is bringing togetherleading technology companies to create a step change in productivity forembedded device development," said Simon Ford, director, IoT Platforms,ARM. "We have learnt from the web and smartphone revolutions that bybuilding an open-source software platform with reusable software components andfree development and collaboration tools, we can enable the creation of IoT andsmart devices on a previously unimagined scale." "By joining the mbed project, ST isenabling developers across diverse markets to quickly prototype and create newproducts based on leading-edge STM32 microcontrollers," said DanielColonna, MCU marketing manager at ST. The first mbed-enabled STM32 developmentboards will be launched in February 2014, and support for other boards andtargets will follow. |
