SAN FRANCISCO, CA — (Marketwire) — 09/14/11 — Intel Developer Forum — Arium (Tustin, CA) today announces support for the Intel® Boot Loader Development Kit (Intel® BLDK), a software toolkit for creation of customized and optimized initialization firmware solutions for embedded Intel® processor-based platforms. Arium-s flagship debugger, SourcePoint, now offers built-in features that allow developers to debug in source code used in Intel BLDK development.
Enabling rapid development of firmware for fixed-function embedded designs, the Intel BLDK support is an extension of current UEFI-aware features offered by Arium. The most recent feature addition includes cache-as-RAM, DRAM code execution trace buffers, and Architectural Event Trace (AET).
“Arium is pleased to bring to market powerful development features that enable developers of Intel®-based designs,” said Larry Traylor, CEO of Arium. “We expect our customers will have unprecedented visibility of their code facilitating faster time-to-market and robust products.”
“The Intel® Boot Loader Development Kit offers flexibility for firmware developers to create customized solutions with reduced boot time for Intel processor-based platforms,” said Drew Jensen, Boot Loader product marketing manager, Intel Corporation. “Incorporating Intel BLDK with software tools and hardware-assisted debug solutions from companies such as Arium expands the usability, flexibility and capabilities for the embedded community developing firmware solutions for Intel® architecture.”
Customers have a choice between the Arium ECM-XDP3 and LX-1000 (AET trace buffer). Both Arium products use the SourcePoint debugger. SourcePoint is Arium-s flagship debugger providing debug features supporting multiple cores/threads benefiting BIOS, UEFI, device driver, and Linux developers. The software runs on both Microsoft® Windows® and Linux hosts.
Arium supports all Intel® Atom, Intel® Core, and Intel® Xeon® Processor Families.
