SEGGER buys Somnium assets
German development tool vendor SEGGER Microcontroller has acquired all intellectual property assets of Bristol startup Somnium Technologies.
Somnium had developed a linker that enabled the entire toolchain compiled and optimised for a particular device: Somnium uses TVS for pre-launch testing.
SEGGER had just completed a new linker just when Somnium’s technology came onto the market, but was sceptical of the technology claims. It is at odds to point out that its linker is complete and contains no technology derived from Somnium.
There are no firm plans to unite the two linkers right now, and the company is now looking to pick up Somnium customers (and presumably offer them the new linker).
