Noticia del día de ayer: STMicroelectronics Acquires Atollic, an Embedded-Systems Company Engineering Integrated Development Environments for Arm® -core-based Microcontrollers.

STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM) , a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, today announced its acquisition of software-development tools specialist Atollic. Atollic is the supplier of TrueSTUDIO ® , a professionally-recognized and highly regarded Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for the embedded development community focusing on Arm® Cortex® -M microcontrollers, like ST’s market-leading STM32 family of 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs).

...

“The outstanding quality and depth of the STM32 MCU portfolio and its easy-to-use development ecosystem has positioned ST as a leader in embedded systems,” said Michel Buffa, Microcontroller Division General Manager, STMicroelectronics. “That position, and working closely with Atollic for many years as a top Gold Partner, has shown us the professional features and value TrueSTUDIO has delivered to demanding developers and will soon give STM32 developers a major competitive advantage with the availability of the STM32 TrueSTUDIO IDE for free.”

Al parecer van a ofrecer la versión Pro del TrueSTUDIO de forma gratuita para usuarios de micros de ST info aqui

The winter holidays have come early for embedded developers using STM32-family microcontrollers. The announcement of ST’s acquisition of top-3 software-development-tool specialist Atollic, and its promise to make the Atollic high-end TrueSTUDIO-Pro tools available without charge as part of the STM32 ecosystem demonstrates ST’s commitment to continue to deliver the best and most useful embedded portfolio and ecosystem.

Already, ST’s and Atollic’s engineers have begun work on integrating the features offered in the advanced TrueSTUDIO-Pro into the STM32 ecosystem via a fully integrated software solution, under the TrueSTUDIO banner; this software development tool will be available to STM32 developers free, without charge.

Interesante. Falta ver como integran, si es que lo hacen, Cubemx, y si se podrán compartir o importar proyectos con Eclipse.

Que sea gratis ya es una buena noticia, así tendría que ser con todos los fabricantes de micros, los entornos de desarrollo 100% gratuitos.

¿Y qué va a ser de los usuarios de Atollic que utilizan micros de otros fabricantes?

El mundo va a acabar en manos de unos pocos. demasiadas fusiones/compras.

Si ST se ha quedado Atollic, y el producto soportaba otros fabricantes, yo creo que se los cargará. Aparte de ofrecer un buen producto, es también una manera de restar clientes a la competencia.

Yo con ST estoy muy contento, es de mis preferidos para nuevos desarrollos, su entorno con Eclipse y Cubemx, está muy por encima de lo que he visto con NXP y Atmel. No se que aportará Atollic si se convierte en gratuito, porque migrar sin más, con todo lo que supone volver a empezar, es muy pesado.

Aca hay un thread que abrieron en el foro de ST.

De .

Yes. The support for other MCUs will be removed. It will be tough for ST to get access to confidential information from competitors

Post en el blog de Atollic: TrueSTUDIO Developers using STM32 devices get an early holiday gift from STMicroelectronics.

If you are an STM32 developer and an Atollic TrueSTUDIO user, think of it as an early holiday present. Soon, what was the paid Pro version of TrueSTUDIO will soon be made available to STM32 developers at no charge.

future versions of TrueSTUDIO will NOT include support for non-STM32 devices
