National Instruments Embedded Module for ARM MCUs, an extension of the LabVIEW graphical system design platform that
directly targets the ARM 7 and ARM 9 MCU families. The module is said to be the first product in an ongoing collaboration between the companies that
combines the ease of use of LabVIEW with the performance of ARM MCUs.
Using the new module, engineers can create embedded applications in LabVIEW and deploy them to over 260 MCUs created from microprocessor IP licensed by ARM and
manufactured by semiconductor companies including Analog Devices, Atmel, Luminary Micro, NXP, Freescale Semiconductor, Intel and Texas Instruments.
We support tailor-made solution MCUs are integrated microprocessors that include the memory, peripherals and interfaces, as well as the CPU, on a single chip,
making them a cost-effective solution for embedded systems and suitable for control and interrupt-driven applications that require a real-time response
to stimulus. ARM MCUs are deployed in a wide range of applications, from popular consumer goods such as the Garmin Nuvi portable navigation device to
industrial and medical applications such as the BIAC portable muscle stimulator. The LabVIEW Embedded Module for ARM MCUs features LabVIEW drivers that make it possible for domain experts to graphically program
all components of the ARM microcontroller including the analog and digital I/O. The module also features desktop simulation capabilities so that users can
run the programs they develop for an ARM MCU on a desktop PC without any additional hardware. Engineers and scientists can use the desktop simulation with
NI Multisim, the interactive Spice simulation and circuit analysis software, to simulate the entire signal design chain for a truly comprehensive embedded
system design simulation environment. For more information about the LabVIEW Embedded Module for ARM Microcontrollers, including webcasts, data sheets and an evaluation

This comprehensive graphical development approach for embedded design, jointly developed by ADI and NI,
seamlessly integrates NI LabVIEW and ADI VisualDSP++R. LabVIEW, combined with VisualDSP++, provides a seamless debugging environment by allowing you
to step through graphical code and C code simultaneously and visualize the embedded code in the VisualDSP++ IDE.
With VisualDSP++ you have access to over 140 hand tuned algorithms specifically designed for Blackfin Processors
that can be embedded directly into your code. Add C code or assembly code to a block diagram with the flexibility of the Inline C Node or use the Call Library
function Node to add external C files and existing libraries.
