Developer Environment

Software developers creating solutions with the Power Architecture technology have long benefited from

a vibrant support ecosystem, including high quality tools, OSes, and network protocol stacks. Freescale is

working with our ecosystem partners to ensure that this remains the case for multicore, Power

Architecture-based products, including the P3041.

The various levels of the developer environment are shown in Figure 10, with the more broadly used tools

and boards at the base of the pyramid, and increasingly application-specific enablement items at the top.

Each level is described further in the following subsections:

•

Section 4.1, “Base of the Pyramid: Broadly-Used Tools and Boards”

•

Section 4.2, “First Level of the Pyramid: Debug and Performance Analysis”

•

Section 4.3, “Second Level of the Pyramid: Simulation, Hypervisor, and DPAA Reference

“Stacklets”

•

Section 4.4, “Top Level of the Pyramid: Application-Specific Enablement”
