Software Verification Targets Tiny Micros

Feb. 15, 2010
LDRA's LDRA Tool Suite is now integrated with Microchip’s MPLAB IDE bringing software verification to 8-, 16- and 32-bit microcontroller developers.

LDRA's Tool Suite brings verification to Microchip's PIC32

LDRA is known for its software verification and analysis tools, which are usually deployed on higher-end systems where many hands are developing large applications. Now designers with smaller projects and smaller platforms like Microchip’s microcontroller product line can take advantage of the LDRA Tool Suite, which is now integrated with Microchip’s MPLAB integrated development environment (IDE). LDRA supports the 8-bit PIC18, the 16-bit PIC24, and the 32-bit dsPIC32/33 flash-based microcontrollers. Developers can take advantage of graphical test planning and automatic test vector generation tools while utilizing their normal development environment. The LDRA tool suite allows developers to use very low-cost, low-power PIC processors in DO-178B qualified environments.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.  

I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
