Welcome to e-News from IAR Systems
In Developer's Toolbox this month you'll find an article about designing eZ430-Chronos—the wireless sports watch development system from TI—with IAR visualSTATE.

There is also a brand new ARM Cortex-M0 kit available, IAR KickStart Kit for NXP LPC1114, and new product versions of IAR Embedded Workbench for Atmel AVR and IAR visualSTATE.

Best wishes for 2010!

IAR visualSTATE and TI ez430-Chronos
TI has recently officially released eZ430-Chronos, the wearable wireless watch development kit. This innovative kit is built as a traditional sports watch with pulse monitoring, 3-axis accelerometer and pressure sensor in a nice housing. Due to the wireless functionality, the watch cannot only be used for sports watch functionality, but can also act as for example a wireless mouse, or wireless control of slideshow presentations etc.

If you look at a typical sports watch at an abstract level it is a very good example of an event-driven system that at a given time operates in one of several distinct modes or sub-modes. We can for example rather effortlessly list a number of abstract events that can be interesting to an application built on this platform.
