CAMBRIDGE, England, February 26 /PRNewswire/ --

- Enhanced Support in ARM RealView Development Suite 3.1 Professional
Significantly Reduces Initial Development Time and Ensures Optimal Tools
Configuration for Specific TI Processors

ARM (LSE: ARM) (Nasdaq: ARMHY) today announced at the Texas Instruments
Developer Conference (TIDC), Dallas, Texas, that the ARM(R) RealView(R)
family of development tools will provide enhanced support for the Texas
Instruments' (TI) DaVinci(TM) technology and OMAP35x(TM) platform, including
the recently-released DaVinci TMS320DM355 digital media processor and OMAP35x
processors. The enhanced support automatically configures the RealView
development tools for specific TI processors enabling software developers to
rapidly begin developing high-performance applications using supplied example
code and project templates. Enhanced debug support provides full visibility
and control of the processor's on-chip peripherals as well as automatic
placement of code in the processors memory map.

"TI has long relied upon ARM to deliver low risk development tool
solutions that provide ease-of-use and optimum performance," said Gerard
Andrews, OMAP marketing manager, TI. "With the enhanced support in ARM
RealView tools for TI's digital media processors and OMAP35x applications
processors, developers will greatly benefit from reduced development times
and the ability to deliver high-performance, low-power applications into the
rapidly growing consumer, medical and embedded markets."

Developers wishing to create an application for a specific TI processor
will be able to download a RealView Development Suite 3.1 Professional tool
update for their chosen processor. This update will add processor-specific
project templates and example code to the Eclipse IDE included in the
RealView Development Suite 3.1 Professional. The processor project templates
automatically configure the compilation tools in the RealView Development
Suite 3.1 Professional to generate optimal code and automatically lay it out
in the processor's memory map including (where appropriate) programming
on-chip flash. TI processor-specific debug features provide the developer
with full visibility and control of on-chip peripherals in a format that can
be directly mapped back to the processor's datasheet.

"ARM is committed to providing its extensive ecosystem of Partners with
the resources they need to stay one step ahead of market demands, and with
RealView development tools we are able to lend our support to a leading
technology company like TI," said John Cornish, vice president of marketing,
System Design Division, ARM. "With RealView tool support for the DaVinci and
OMAP35x processors, ARM will empower developers to meet the feature and
performance requirements associated with efficiently delivering quality
products into the mobile and consumer markets."

About RealView Development Suite 3.1 Professional

The ARM RealView Development Suite 3.1 Professional is a complete,
end-to-end solution for software development supporting all ARM processors
and ARM CoreSight(TM) debug technology. This full-featured product enables
developers to begin software development, optimisation and test ahead of
silicon availability, significantly reducing application time-to-market and
ensuring the highest degree of software quality.

RealView Development Suite 3.1 Professional incorporates the
best-in-class RealView Compilation tools and market-leading RealView Profiler
enabling applications to easily achieve both high performance and optimal
code size. The product includes support for the latest Cortex(TM)-A8
processor and includes the vectorising compiler for the NEON(TM) media
processing engine, which can increase the performance of multimedia
applications in standard C code by more than 200 per cent.
