Description
MDK Microcontroller Development Kit
Keil® MDK is the most comprehensive software development solution for Arm®-based microcontrollers and includes all components that you need to create, build, and debug embedded applications.
MDK-Core is based on µVision (Windows only) with leading support for Cortex-M devices including the new Armv8-M architecture.
MDK includes Arm C/C++ Compiler with assembler, linker, and highly optimized run-time libraries that are tailored for optimum code size and performance.
Software Packs may be added any time to MDK-Core making new device support and middleware updates independent from the toolchain. They contain device support, CMSIS libraries, middleware, board support, code templates, and example projects.
The IPv4/IPv6 networking communication stack is extended with Mbed™ TLS to enable secure connections via the Internet.
Plus Edition
MDK-Plus is the full-featured software development suite for Arm®-based microcontrollers.
MDK-Plus features software development for:
- Devices based on Arm Cortex®-M cores
- Secure and non-secure applications based on Arm Cortex-M23/M33 processors
- Arm Cortex-R4-based processors and legacy Arm7™ and Arm9™ devices
- Arm SecurCore®-based devices
- Applications that require proven middleware components such as IPv4 Network, USB Device, File System, and Graphics.
MDK-Plus contains all features of the MDK-Essential edition.
In combination with ULINK debug adapters, MDK-Plus provides advanced real-time debug, trace, and analysis capabilities from RTOS Kernel-aware debugging up to full instruction trace for capturing the complete program execution of an application.
