NI unveils ARM extension for LabVIEW
15/04/2008 Email to a friend
 
National Instruments and ARM have developed an extension to LabVIEW, which targets the ARM7, ARM9 and Cortex-M3 microcontroller families. The module allows designers to develop applications in LabVIEW, then deploy them to an ARM based microcontroller.

NI unveils ARM extension for LabVIEW
The module – called NI LabVIEW Embedded Module for ARM Microcontrollers – features LabVIEW drivers that make it possible for domain experts to program graphically all components of the ARM microcontroller, including analogue and digital I/O. The module also features desktop simulation capabilities so users can run the programs they develop for an ARM based microcontroller on a desktop pc without additional hardware.
“National Instruments is excited to extend the power and ease of use of LabVIEW to even more embedded designers who are developing applications for ARM microcontrollers,” said National Instruments’ president and ceo Dr James Truchard. “We are expanding our embedded design platform offerings to give engineers and scientists a variety of ‘out of the box’ solutions for designing, prototyping and deploying their embedded applications quickly.”
“The intuitive graphical design capabilities of LabVIEW make it an ideal platform for developers with limited C/C++ programming experience who need to develop applications around ARM processor based microcontrollers,” said Reinhard Keil, ARM’s director of mcu tools. “For the more experienced developer, it provides a faster and more streamlined approach to programming.”
