Trust-Oriented Design Environment

For the majority of the different embedded processor devices available on the market, there is a software development environment created to enable software coders to do their job. This includes a variety of elements including source code capture, debuggers, compilers, linkers, test tools, and visualization tools. The differentiation between one embedded processor and the next is as much about performance as it is about ease of use and productivity. In addition, interoperability between other third party productivity tools is a major consideration. Those who architect and implement design environments for embedded processors tend to prioritize these two factors.
