LDRA, the UK-based verification and source code analysis tools firm, has integrated its tools with the Analog Devices VisualDSP++ (VDSP++) software development environment.

The LDRA tool provides automated software testing and verification of software development and this will be integrated with VDSP++ for use when working with Analog’s embedded processors.

The tool set is designed to provide testing of user code at both the unit and system levels, coupled with enhanced error detection to speed up the overall software development process.

It supports the instrumentation of user code, test harness creation and processes target responses, and VDSP++ compiles and captures target results.

This integration covers all devices supported by VDSP++. Although initially written and tested to support version 4.5 of VDSP++, the LDRA tool suite integration will be tested with v5.0 and also v3.5 (supporting the ADSP-21xx). Further updates and developments to the support using Analog Devices VisualDSP++ are planned in the future.
