GainSpan selects IAR Systems as sole supplier of tools for development of new Wi-Fi/ZigBee IP solution
The leading company in low-power Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi connectivity for the Internet of Things has chosen to work with IAR Systems because of its strong position in the ARM Cortex-M market, extensive technical support, and high-quality, high-performance tools.
Recently announced by GainSpan, the GS2000 is the industry’s first single-chip solution bringing together two Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) low-power standard wireless technologies: Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n) and 802.15.4. The GS2000 is a highly integrated System on a Chip (SoC) containing multi-standard radio frequencies as well as both 802.11b/g/n and 802.15.4 Physical layer/Media Access Control layer (PHY/MAC) functionality and dual ARM Cortex-M3-based central processor units. Device and appliance manufacturers can use the GS2000 to develop a design that supports either ZigBee Internet Protocol (IP) and/or Wi-Fi, with IPv4 or IPv6, all in the same product. Application areas range from personal healthcare and fitness and smart energy applications to segments such as metering and high-quality video and audio applications used in consumer and home automation products.
To develop the new platform, GainSpan has chosen to work exclusively with IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM. The tool suite features the IAR C/C++ Compiler with world-leading optimizations for code size and speed, as well as the comprehensive C-SPY Debugger. IAR Systems provides renowned technical support through support centers and distributors all over the world.
