MDK-ARM Version 5
Keil MDK is the most comprehensive software development environment with out-of-the box support for over 4000 ARM and Cortex-M based microcontrollers.
MDK is split into the MDK-Core and software packs which makes new device support and middleware updates independent from the toolchain.
The optimizing ARM C/C++ Compiler is TÜV certified for use in safety applications up to the highest safety integrity levels (SIL). The ARM Compiler Safety Package, available in MDK-Professional, enables fast toolchain qualification for any functional safety standards.
Debug and Trace
MDK supports hardware debugging and Flash programming via the following Debug/Trace Adapters:
- Keil ULINK Series
- PE-Micro
- Nuvoton Nu-Link
- Segger J-LINK, J-Trace
- STMicroelectronics ST-LINK
- CMSIS-DAP based adapters from NXP, Microchip, and others
ULINKpro provides trace streaming for Cortex-M3/M4/M7 based microcontrollers and provides the following debug analysis features:
- Event Viewer
- Instruction Trace
- Code Coverage
- Execution Profiling
- Performance Analyzer
