It is priced at $4,995 for a full multi-site annual-subscription license that supports multiple users across the enterprise. XTIMEcomposer-Enterprise is available in early December 2013. “The advanced multicore design features have been combined with the most advanced hardware debug capability, and comprehensive one-to-one support, to provide the most advanced industrial grade multicore microcontroller development suite shipping today.” “The new xTIMEcomposer-Enterprise tools provide the highest level of design productivity for demanding embedded system applications,” said Nigel Toon, XMOS CEO.

The xTIMEcomposer-Enterprise tool suite is backed up by comprehensive and integrated one-to-one online support that delivers an assured industrial grade level of response to issues and support enquiries as well as providing on-going, long-term support for customer code releases that are shipping in the field.

As a result software code can meet hardware levels of performance and provide complete functional safety. The xCORE Timing Analyser (XTA) tool, included as part of xTIMEcomposer-Enterprise, allows all timing characteristics to be statically analyzed and timing critical parameters to be defined and maintained through subsequent compiles and code additions. High priority real-time tasks can run to completion without interruption on separate logical processor cores. The tools provide the ability to define very accurate task and I/O timings, giving developers all of the capabilities of an RTOS (real time operating system) but with nanosecond timing accuracy and instant I/O response. XTIMEcomposer-Enterpris also allows customers to make full use of the deterministic xCORE multicore architecture. Real-time power analysis of the target system is also supported, allowing developers to optimize their code for the most energy efficient operation. I/O signals and internal xCORE signals can be accurately monitored in real-time while the target system is running, with both digital and analog signals available for view in the xSCOPE instrumentation tool. This advanced debug hardware solution allows full multicore debug and analysis with accurate real-time trace and fast instrumentation of the target hardware board or system. The xCORE-USB sliceKIT starter kit is available at a cost of $229 and includes the xCORE-USB core board itself, USB and mixed signal slices, xTAG debug adaptor and power supply.The comprehensive debug environment is enhanced by the inclusion of a new xTAG-PRO multifunction debugger. XMOS offers different I/O slices in addition to the USB sliceCARD, including Ethernet, UART, ADC, LCD graphics and digital audio, allowing designers to rapidly develop, prototype and debug their designs. The xCORE-USB sliceKIT core board features two digital expansion slots that can be populated with I/O extension cards (or ‘slices’), a mixed signal slot, and interface for the xTAG debug adapter.

The complete suite of free design tools includes an Eclipse-based integrated design environment, a highly efficient LLVM compiler, debugger, the xSOFTip configuration tool xSOFTip Explorer, a cycle-accurate simulator with waveform view, static timing analyzer, and the xSCOPE high speed in-circuit instrument that provides a virtual logic analyzer for real-time applications. This allows developers to employ a unified design flow based on C/C++, of a type that will be familiar to any microcontroller software engineer. Development using the xCORE-USB sliceKIT takes place within the xTIMEcomposer Studio integrated design environment, and uses xSOFTip soft peripherals.
