Atollic has released the latest version of TrueSTUDIO development tool for ARM, a C/C++ development tool for embedded developer that looks similar to Eclipse. It supports micro-controllers from a number of semiconductor manufacturers, making it possible to switch MCU supplier during the design process.
This release of TrueSTUDIO supports several ARM MCU cores such as ARM7, ARM9, Cortex-M0, Cortex-M1, Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 processors.
It also includes device-specific support for an extensive list of ARM processor-based micro-controller families, including: Atmel AT91SAM, EnergyMicro EFM32, Freescale Kinetis, Fujitsu FM3, STMicroelectronics STM32, Texas Instruments Stellaris and Toshiba TX.
As well as an optimizing C/C++ compiler and a multiprocessor-aware debugger, the tool also has serial wire viewer tracing, graphical UML diagram editors for model-based design and architecture, performs code-quality analysis via TrueINSPECTOR and TrueANALYSER and features a test-automation toolbox (TureVERIFIER).
There is also an ECLIPSE-based IDE with editor, x86 C/C++ build and debug tools for development of PC command-line applications and parallel compilation.
Additionally, Atollic TrueSTUDIO includes an integrated client for accessing popular
bug databases like Trac and Bugzilla and interact with version systems such as subversion or git.
You can request a 30-day evaluation license to try TrueSTUDIO Professional for ARM or you can buy it directly. The current price is not public, but in one forum, the price (in 2010) was said to be 1,995 USD for one post for TrueStudio for STM32. I would imagine the version that supports several ARM MCU would be even more expensive.
However, Atollic also provides free versions for specific targets:

So why are WiFi hot spots and USB mobile dongles so much cheaper, is a question that comes to mind?
Even a pine phone is cheaper. Yes there are design development cost and limited run production costs.
Because we’re talking 5G here. That Waveshare HAT is probably the cheapest 5G hardware I’ve found yet. Last time, I wrote about a WiFi 6 board with optional Quectel 5G IoT module, and price for the module was just under $500.
I can’t find 5G USB adapters yet, except some that take M.2 card. Having said that many people use 5G for “5GHz WiFi”, so I may have missed some models during my web search.
Wow 400 USD just for a HAT. Crazy expensive. And also: Who really gives a shit about 5G? Especially on > 6Ghz. I rather use 3G/4G, IEE 802.14.5 and Lora for certain use-cases.
Because 3G will go away, new infrastructure will be built using 5G…
Here already 3G is spotty due to frequency refarming to benefit 5G. It’s not my choice, but the hype around 5G pushed the operators to quickly adopt it.
Yeah, but the price is…painful. We’re trying to do M2M and things like IoT gateways with this stuff. $400 is painful and about 10 times the cost of the compute system we’re attaching it TO.
This isn’t too much at this time for 4G, 5G and gps. The timing for an IOT network cn be had from the GPS.
True. But as past shows us prices will drop. 3G dongles wer very expensive, now they are max 10$
4G dongles were playing in a cost league well above mortal’s capabilities.
Now go figure what will happen with 5G.
At least as long as our friends at the west coast of the Atlantic don’t kill more players besides Huawei in the 5G market…
cancer included ?
As well as the body implantable chip and bill gates’ vaccine!
LOL
I think it’s too early to make a huge investment in 5G. Still a long way to go. But Qualcomm chip whether they are sold for applications only or whatever usually have provisions for radios included in their features. This is a good price for a system which breaks that out and includes the RF parts. FWIW it should also be able to do WIFI, since they are actually phone chips. I didn’t see that broken out, which is sort of odd. Maybe too busy for the GPIO to pi to do that to, and somewhat duplicative of what a… Read more »
The price is quite too high for most use cases. I suggest to wait for operators to deliver their own kits at lower prices. They will have no other choice, after having invested billions in hardware + radio frequency licenses. If accessing them is too expensive they won’t find customers. And most end users don’t care a dime about 5G, a part of the remaining ones are conspiracy seekers who reject it :-/
Agreed with the others commenting that this is probably not good for traditional low-data IOT or M2M.
People interested in this will be 5G routers, robotics knowing it is early days for 5G but want to test it for product concepts.
Having seen the evolution of 5G cards, I can say this is a new low price point for Simcom.
Hi Team,
How we can capture the 5G modem logs?
With Which tool we can capture?
Does it supports Wireshark?
