TUSTIN, CA–( EMWNews – April 2, 2008) – American Arium, an industry leader in

hardware-assisted development tools, today announced debug support for the

Intel® Atom™ processor Z500 series. Arium’s hardware-assisted debug

solution comes in the form of the company’s ECM-XDP3 JTAG emulator and

latest SourcePoint™ debug interface. The Intel Atom processor is based on

Intel’s new 45nm Hi-k low power microarchitecture.

“Arium’s goal is to always be on the cutting edge of the latest

technological developments,” said Larry Traylor, American Arium’s CEO. “As

a member of the Intel® Embedded and Communications Alliance, we work

particularly hard to support the latest Intel innovations. We designed the

ECM-XDP3 and Arium software interface with the Intel Atom processor and

similar processors in mind.”

The ECM-XDP3 is Arium’s latest “green” in-target probe, complying with the

RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directive specified for the EU

market. SourcePoint, the company’s flagship debugger, offers the program

and firmware developer unsurpassed visibility to and manipulation of code

via a series of intuitive screens and dialogs with numerous viewing and

customization options. The debug solution operates in real time with all

core frequencies and works with today’s most popular compiler tool chains.

It supports industry-standard input file formats and includes a robust

C-like command language as well as support for the Intel® Framework for

UEFI.

Intel’s newest low power platform is ideal for Mobile Internet Devices

(MIDs) and Ultra-Mobile PCs (UMPCs). In addition to the Intel Atom

processor, the platform also includes the Intel® System Controller Hub

(SCH) US15W, Intel’s latest integrated single-chip chipset.

“American Arium offers third-party development tools for the new Intel Atom

platform,” said Jonathan Luse, director of marketing, Low Power Embedded

Products Division, Intel. “It’s another tool for our customers as they

incorporate the platform into their products rapidly.”

The Arium ECM-XDP3 emulator with SourcePoint is available now. Contact
