降低成本的時間到市場的專業嵌入式開發工具

　　而微控制器經歷了許多變化，從幾K內存簡單的8位控制器以先進的32位控制器，可今天，許多開發商仍然使用古老的工具，阻礙了發展周期。

　　對于設計師來說，跟上當今快節奏和復雜的開發環境，他們需要確保他們有合適的工作工具。他們需要嵌入式工具，使他們能夠監視硅，并看到他們的軟件是按照他們期望的方式操作，以及指出錯誤或優化代碼大小的工具，使他們能夠減少他們的BOM成本。

　　今天有許多可用的工具，可以幫助他們降低整體開發成本，加快調試過程，從而更快的上市時間。本文將介紹一些這些工具，然后觸及如何使用它們的最大利益。

　　Saving time and money with a professional debugger

　　It is very rare for a developer to write a software routine that works on the first try. Software development requires debugging， making the most critical tool in the software developers’ arsenal the debugger. The debugger allows a developer to load an application onto a target microcontroller， step through the code， view memory and other registers， and manipulate the hardware.

　　The problem that many professional developers encounter is that they often use the debuggers that come with their low-cost development boards. These debuggers are convenient， inexpensive and perfect for demonstration. However， when it comes to developing professional software， they might have limitations such as：
