Development tools for Smart Card software

Based on Keolabs’ Raisonance brand hardware and integrated development environment solutions, StarBox V2 offers advanced emulation features (Rkit), integrated development environment (Ride7) and the StarChip Toolchain which includes the latest compiler from Cortus to guarantee the portability of customers’ projects. StarBox V2 also supports a wide range of communication protocols, including ISO14443 as well as SWP for upcoming NFC products.

“This new generation of StarBox has been designed as part of StarChip’s strategy to support all new products, from low-end SIM to high-end secure contactless chip. To that matter, StarBox V2 includes a set of innovative and intuitive functions that improves both the performance and the user experience. This new development tool allows us to address the growing demand for high security in the Smart Card Market and position StarChip as an active global IC provider that places security as a focus," commented Frederick Bonnin, Application and Software Manager, StarChip.

Major improvements in this second generation development tool include ultra-fast code loading, infinite breakpoints and enhanced look & feel. Ride7 and related kits are available on demand from the StarChip support team. Documentation and tutorial videos demonstrating how to make the best use of StarBox V2 with Ride7 are available on StarChip’s support site.
