BYD Semiconductor announced the launch of a new generation of MCU development tools BLINK, the tool is highly integrated, both upgraded touch debugging and program simulation functions, to provide developers with comprehensive integration support, said to be a great tool for embedded development engineers.
MCU Microcontroller Unit (Microcontroller Unit), also known as Single Chip Microcomputer (Single Chip Microcomputer) or single chip microcomputer, is to appropriately reduce the frequency and specifications of the central processing unit (Central Process Unit, CPU). Counter (Timer), USB, A/D conversion, UART, PLC, DMA and other peripheral interfaces, and even LCD driver circuits are integrated on a single chip to form a chip-level computer, which can be controlled in different combinations for different applications.
According to reports, BLINK of BYD Semiconductor solves the trouble of engineers switching back and forth between multiple tools during the development process. It has dual functions of touch debugging and program emulation, and perfectly replaces the original debugging programmer and JTAG emulator. BLINK can not only Simplify the development process of the entire product project, improve development efficiency, and intuitively reduce project development costs.
BYD Semiconductor BLINK supports the development of 8-bit and 32-bit MCUs of the BF series at the same time, allowing engineers to focus more on project development.
In addition, BLINK is not a simple stacking and merging, its volume still maintains a similar size to the old debugging programmer, and adopts a closed shell design in appearance, which is more beautiful and greatly improves the feel and drop resistance. characteristic. At the same time, BLINK comes standard with a 20pin JTAG interface and an independent isolated debugging interface, so that the development process does not need to expand peripherals.
In terms of software, BLINK’s software function package can be installed with just one click, without redundant operation and configuration. Upgrade based on the old debugging burner platform. In the debugging interface, it can be appropriately configured according to the relevant parameters of the debugging effect program, and it can be synchronized to the underlying file with one click.
While compatible with the old debugging programmer (IIC communication), BLINK also supports the serial communication debugging function of the new product. In addition, BLINK can resist various external conduction disturbances and pass the CS anti-jamming test.
BLINK can provide 2.5V-5.0V 26-level adjustable voltage, whether it is program simulation or touch debugging, including the working voltage range of all BF series products, to meet the power supply needs of all details in the product development process. Supports the “external power supply” option, which enables program emulation under external power supply conditions.
