1 min read

IAR Systems is collaborating with HOLT Integrated Circuits for its MIL-STD-1553 application development kit, HI-6130. HOLT is a supplier of ICs for avionics and military data bus and display applications.

IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM C/C++ IDE was selected as the companies' ARM Cortex-M3 mcu development environment. The kit demonstrates concurrent operation for any combination of bus controller, bus monitor and one or two remote terminals. The hardware includes a two board assembly, an HI-6130 board with dual transformer coupled MIL-STD-1553 bus interfaces and a lower microprocessor board with ARM Cortex-M3 16/32bit microprocessor, debug interface and regulated 3.3V dc power supply. The kit is designed to provide users with an 'out of the box' evaluation platform and includes a complete software reference design demonstrating many common MIL-STD-1553 BC, MT and RT application examples. The source code may be customised using IAR's software suite. "We are very pleased to be working with Holt on their new ARM Cortex-M3 HI-6130 application development kits," said Robert DeOliveira, senior sales manager at IAR Systems. "By selecting IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM, developers will see the benefits of the highly optimised development tools and debuggers when working with Avionic applications on the HOLT platform." "Holt Integrated Circuits is delighted to use IAR Systems development tools in our evaluation kits," said Anthony Murray, director of Business Development at Holt. "These tools provide our customers with an easy to use interface to Holt's hardware and a solid platform for software development."
