MDK Microcontroller Development Kit

ARM® Keil^® MDK is the most comprehensive software development solution for Arm^®-based microcontrollers and includes all components that you need to create, build, and debug embedded applications.

MDK-Core is based on µVision (Windows only) with leading support for Cortex-M devices including the new Armv8-M architecture.MDK includes two Arm C/C++ Compilers with assembler, linker, and highly optimize run-time libraries that are tailored for optimum code size and performance.

Software Packs may be added any time to MDK-Core making new device support and middleware updates independent from the toolchain. They contain device support, CMSIS libraries, middleware, board support, code templates, and example projects.

The IPv4/IPv6 networking communication stack is extended with Mbed™ TLS to enable secure connections via the Internet.

License Types

Node-Locked:
A node-locked license allows using MDK by exactly one person on a maximum of two computers (single-user). No network connection required.

FlexLM Floating:
A FlexLM License allows developers to use MDK on multiple computers. A network connection to check out a FlexLM license is required.

MDK receives MadeForSTM32 label

Arm Keil MDK has received the label "MadeForSTM32" by STMicroelectronics. While MDK always had outstanding support for STM32-based devices.

Arm Keil MDK supports more than 1700 devices from STMicroelectronics and offers a free-to-use MDK for STM32F0, STM32G0, and STM32L0 that helps their mutual customers to develop their embedded application faster. The excellent support of STM32CubeMX helps to set up your device using graphical tools from STMicroelectronics and exchange this data with Arm Keil MDK to be able to use our advanced debug features to minimize development time.

The Functional Safety Run-Time Systems works seamlessly with STMicroelectronics' X-CUBE-STL. Download their application note 326 to learn how to use both components together in your functional safety application.
