STMicroelectronics is the world's leading 32-bit microcontroller manufacturer, with a strong hardware and software development ecosystem to help developers speed up and simplify application development and design, and the addition of TrueSTUDIO will further strengthen the ecosystem of STMicroelectronics. Designed and developed by a seasoned and dedicated team of world-class software tools experts, TrueSTUDIO is the industry-proven, market-leading open source Eclipse IDE platform that already supports STMicroelectronics' STM32 family of Cortex-M microcontrollers that will allow STMicroelectronics Building on the STM32 ecosystem to guide TrueSTUDIO's future development to become a fully integrated software solution, Michel Buffa, General Manager of STMicroelectronics Microcontroller Products, said: "The STM32 microcontroller's outstanding quality and wide product line, as well as ease of use Developing ecosystems and making STMicroelectronics a leader in embedded systems.With years of close cooperation with our Gold Partner Atollic we see that TrueSTUDIO brings professional functionality and product value to harsh developers, Free use of the STM32 TrueSTUDIO IDE will bring to STM32 developers An important competitive advantage.

Atollic CEO Lars-Erik Stenkil said: "I am pleased to see that Atollic, as the world's leading manufacturer of software development tools and our skilled development team, will join STMicroelectronics, the world's leading 32-bit microcontroller manufacturer."
STMicroelectronics Atollic paid $ 7 million in cash and signed an Earn-out payment plan that delays payment of M & A payments under certain conditions, which STMicroelectronics currently estimates Pay about $ 1 million.
