Analog Devices Launches CodeFusion Studio™ 2.0 to Simplify AI-Enabled Embedded Development

• New End-to-end AI workflow support with bring-your-own-model capability, model checks and performance profiling enables rapid deployment across ADI’s full hardware portfolio.
• New Unified configuration tools, multi-core support and integrated debugging streamline development across heterogeneous systems.
• New Zephyr-based modular framework for runtime AI/ML profiling and layer-by-layer analysis enhances the open source foundation, eliminating toolchain fragmentation and reducing complexity.

Analog Devices, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADI), a global leader in semiconductor innovation, today launched CodeFusion Studio™ 2.0, a significant upgrade to its open source embedded development platform. Designed to simplify and accelerate the development of AI-enabled embedded systems, CodeFusion Studio 2.0 introduces advanced hardware abstraction, seamless AI integration and powerful automation tools to streamline the journey from concept to deployment across ADI’s diverse processors and microcontrollers.

“The next era of embedded intelligence requires removing friction from AI development,” said Rob Oshana, Senior Vice President of the Software and Digital Platforms group, ADI. “CodeFusion Studio 2.0 transforms the developer experience by unifying fragmented AI workflows into a seamless process, empowering developers to leverage the full potential of ADI's cutting-edge products with ease so they can focus on innovating and accelerating time to market.”

Empowering Developers with End-to-End AI Workflows

CodeFusion Studio 2.0 now supports complete AI workflows, enabling developers to bring their own models and deploy them efficiently across ADI’s processors and microcontrollers—from low-power edge devices to high-performance DSPs (digital signal processors). The latest platform, based on Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code, features a built-in model compatibility checker, performance profiling tools and optimization capabilities that are designed to ensure robust deployment and an accelerated time-to-market.

A new Zephyr-based modular framework enables runtime performance profiling for AI/ML workloads, offering layer-by-layer analysis and seamless integration with ADI’s heterogeneous platforms. This encapsulation of toolchains simplifies machine learning deployment and enhances system-level performance insights.

Unified Development Experience

The updated CodeFusion Studio System Planner now supports multi-core applications and expanded device compatibility, while unified configuration tools reduce complexity across ADI’s hardware ecosystem. Developers benefit from integrated debugging capabilities, including Core Dump Analysis and GDB (GNU debugger) support, making troubleshooting faster and more intuitive.

ADI Future Proofs Its Digital Roadmap

CodeFusion Studio 2.0 is the latest milestone in ADI’s open-source embedded development platform, embodying its commitment to delivering developer-first tools that simplify complexity and accelerate innovation. As ADI expands its digital roadmap, future releases will continue to push the boundaries of embedded intelligence, bringing deeper hardware-software integration, expanded runtime environments and new capabilities tailored to evolving developer needs as they experiment with physical AI.

“Companies that deliver physically aware AI solutions are poised to transform industries and create new, industry-leading opportunities. That’s why we’re creating an ecosystem that enables developers to optimize, deploy and evaluate AI models seamlessly on ADI hardware, even without physical access to a board,” said Paul Golding, Vice President of Edge AI and Robotics, ADI. “CodeFusion Studio 2.0 is just one step we’re taking to deliver Physical Intelligence to our customers, ultimately enabling them to create systems that perceive, reason and act locally—all within the constraints of real-world physics.”

Tata Group and US-based Analog Devices Ink MoU for Semiconductor Manufacturing in India

Tata Group and Analog Devices Inc (ADI), a global semiconductor leader, have announced a strategic alliance to explore potential cooperative manufacturing opportunities.

This collaboration involves Tata Electronics, Tata Motors, and Tejas Networks signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ADI to enhance strategic and business cooperation. 

The alliance aims to leverage ADI’s semiconductor solutions and Tata’s manufacturing capabilities to develop advanced products for various applications, including electric vehicles and network infrastructure

The companies also agree to have strategic roadmap alignment discussions.

The joint effort is expected to be mutually beneficial and is a significant step in establishing a robust electronics manufacturing ecosystem in India both for domestic and global consumption.

N Chandrasekaran, Chairman of Tata Sons, said, "The Tata Group is deeply committed to pioneering a thriving semiconductor industry in India. We are excited to partner with ADI across the semiconductor value chain and explore collaboration between ADI and Tata Group companies to design and offer advanced products to serve our customers."

"At ADI, we are thrilled to join efforts with the Tata Group in advancing India's semiconductor ecosystem. This joint effort aligns with our commitment to innovation and sustainable growth in the region. By combining our real-world semiconductor solutions and software expertise with Tata's vision and capabilities, we can accelerate the development of cutting-edge technologies, from electric vehicles to next-generation network infrastructure. Together, we are not only building a stronger semiconductor ecosystem but also shaping the future of global electronics manufacturing," said Vincent Roche, CEO and Chair at ADI.

Earlier, Tata Electronics announced that it is investing in its own facilities by building India's first fab in Dholera, Gujarat with a total investment of $11 billion. In addition, Tata Electronics will be investing another $3 billion in a greenfield facility in Jagiroad, Assam for the assembly and testing of semiconductor chips.

Tata Electronics and ADI intend to explore opportunities to manufacture ADI's products in Tata Electronics' fab in Gujarat and OSAT in Assam. Tata Motors and ADI intend to explore opportunities for engagement in electronics hardware components for energy storage solutions and power electronics in both commercial and passenger vehicle businesses. Tejas Networks and ADI intend to explore opportunities for engagement in electronics hardware components for network infrastructure.

Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI)'s India office is located in Bengaluru, where it engages in various activities, including research and development, customer support, and business operations.

ADI conducts extensive research and development (R&D) in India, primarily through its facility in Bengaluru. This center, consisting of around 300 engineers, is one of ADI’s top global design hubs and focuses on developing cutting-edge technologies and solutions for various markets. The company develops advanced semiconductor solutions for electric vehicles, autonomous driving, and other automotive applications.
