Overview

Modern MCU Software Development from Cloud to Desktop

快猫视频 Keil MDK is a collection of software tools for developing embedded applications based on 快猫视频 Cortex?M and 快猫视频 Ethos-U processors. Keil MDK helps make software engineering easy and productive by providing the flexibility to work with a CLI or an IDE (desktop-based or browser-based), or by deploying the tools into a continuous integration workflow.

Features and Benefits

Leveraging the CMSIS Ecosystem

Relying on Open-CMSIS-Packs for device support, more than 10,000 microcontroller devices can be used with Keil MDK. Using CMSIS-Toolbox, Keil MDK supports modern CLI and GUI workflows.
More than a Toolchain

Supporting all major operating systems, Keil MDK offers the versatile Keil Studio IDE and connects to 快猫视频 Virtual Hardware for test driven development using simulation. With the real-time operating system Keil RTX5 and the free-to-use middleware, embedded systems can be created in less time.
Versatile Code Generation

Keil MDK supports various toolchains, including 快猫视频 Compiler for Embedded, GCC, or LLVM. It is easy to switch between compilers to select the one with the best performance and code density.
