Segger, HPMicro team on free RISC-V tools
Segger is making its RISC-V development tools available free of charge to customers using chips from HPMicro Semiconductor in China.
The HPM6000 microcontrollers were launched in December 2021 and use the RISC-V open instruction set architecture (ISA) for Industry 4.0, Smart Home Appliances, Edge Computing and IoT applications.
The flagship HPM6750 has a performance of 9000 CoreMark and 4500 DMIPS, with dual D45 32bit RISC-V cores from Andes running at a frequency of up to 800 MHz. The HPM6750, single-core HPM6450 and entry-level HPM6120 all have double-precision floating-point units and DSP extension instructions, 2MB of SRAM, multimedia functions, motor control modules, communication interface and security encryption.

“Embedded Studio has been gaining a lot of popularity recently and now complements the HPMicro product families, helping software engineers unleash their full potential and shortening the time to market,” said Ivo Geilenbruegge, Managing Director of Segger. “Furthermore, collaboration between Segger and HPMicro will go a long way in advancing the RISC-V ecosystem in the embedded industry.”
Segger’s Embedded Studio includes all the tools and features expected for streamlined, professional embedded development in C and C++. It comes with a project manager and build system, a source code editor with code completion and folding and a package system to install board and device support. It also includes Segger’s highly optimized emRun runtime and emFloat floating point libraries, as well as the smart linker, all of which have been developed from the ground up specifically for resource-constrained embedded systems. The built-in debugger is also fully integrated with J-Link.
“I am extremely happy to see that our customers can develop their solutions with HPMicro MCUs using Segger’s professional IDE at no cost. Our goal is to provide the best possible development solution for our RISC-V devices. Following an in-depth analysis of the market, we found that Segger’s Embedded Studio delivers the best results in terms of firmware size, performance and user experience,” said Jintao Zeng, CEO at HPMicro, which is based in Shanghai. “The collaboration with Segger will definitely help HPMicro grow our customer base. “
