Introduction | CS+ V8.02.00

1.1 Introduction

CS+ is an integrated development environment (IDE)Note for the microcontrollers.

By integrating the necessary tools for each development phase, it is possible to perform all phases in software development using just this product, without the need to use many different tools separately. Emphasis is placed on making the tools work together, improving development efficiency in many different situations. As an example, the output from the design phase is automatically reflected in the debug phase.

CS+ also has an update feature to automatically obtain this product upgrades via the network, making it simple to maintain the environment required for software development (free downloadable tools excluded).

Note	An integrated development environment is a development environment integrating the necessary tools for all phases of software development, including preparation, design/implementation, and debugging, into a single platform framework.

Remark

In addition to CS+, emulators and on-chip debugging emulators (emulators for microcontrollers with on-chip debugging facilities built in) are provided, as well as a real-time OS package (for developing systems using real-time OS), making a wide range of development possible.
