Arm Introduces MDK-Plus Edition

Arm Keil MDK Version 5.20 is the industry-leading standard software development solution for Arm Cortex microcontrollers. For Cortex-M devices, the new MDK-Plus edition adds comprehensive middleware for applications that require File System, Graphics, TCP/IP Networking, or USB Device interfaces.


available only in MDK-Professional edition. DS-MDK is available in July 2016.

The MDK Middleware is designed, tested, and optimized for Arm Cortex-M based platforms. Standardized CMSIS-Driver interfaces provide the software layer to the device peripherals. Today, the following device families are supported out-of-the-box with CMSIS-Driver interfaces:

  • Atmel SAME70
  • NXP Kinetis K64
  • Silicon Labs EFM32 Giant Gecko
  • Atmel SAMS70
  • NXP LPC1700
  • STMicroelectronics STM32F1xx
  • Atmel SAMV7x
  • NXP LPC1800
  • STMicroelectronics STM32F2xx
  • Infineon XMC1000
  • NXP LPC4000/LPC4300
  • STMicroelectronics STM32F4xx
  • Infineon XMC4000
  • NXP LPC54000
  • STMicroelectronics STM32F7xx

The CMSIS-Driver Validation software pack allows you to verify the implementation and configuration of the interfaces with your target hardware. It detects potential errors that may affect the operation of the middleware.

New in MDK Version 5.20 is the Component Viewer which shows the status of the middleware during operation using the μVision Debugger.
