CPU & Device Support

Embedded Studio supports development and debugging for a wide range of Arm- and RISC-V-based devices, regardless of the semiconductor manufacturer.

Developers have full control over project setup and configuration. New projects can be created using generic templates with basic device information obtained through J-Link or device-specific templates provided by CPU Support Packages. This allows developers to choose between a minimal starting point that can be customized as needed and a more comprehensive, preconfigured project setup.

New projects can be created using generic templates that define the project type, such as a C/C++ application or a static library.

The Project Wizard provides a selection of generic CPU cores and devices supported by J-Link. Based on the selected core or device, it generates a project with a basic memory map and core configuration, allowing developers to build and run the project immediately.

The project can then be customized to match the target hardware. For example, developers can extend the memory map, add the device SDK and system initialization code, and configure interrupt handlers.

This provides a starting point for developing applications tailored to the target system.

Embedded Studio CPU Support Packages simplify project creation by providing comprehensive, device-specific configurations. These packages enable developers to generate complete projects tailored to their target hardware, including memory layouts, system initialization, hardware access modules, device-specific startup code, and interrupt vectors.

CPU Support Packages are available for download & installation from Embedded Studio’s Package Manager. A summary of available packages can be found at the following pages.
