Compiler exploits PowerPC vector coprocessor
Green Hills Software has a new compiler for its Multi IDE that provides automatic vectorisation support for Motorola PowerPC processors equipped with the AltiVec vector-processing engine.
Based on the ARM720T core, the CS89712 features an integrated 64-entry MMU, 8Kbyte of four-way, set-associative cache and on-chip 10Mbit/s Ethernet MAC and PHY interfaces.
Green Hills' Multi 2000 IDE, together with the company's family of optimising C, C++, EC++ and Ada 95 compilers, automates all aspects of embedded software development for the Crystal CS89712.
The C/C++ compiler takes full advantage of the microprocessor's16bit Thumb architecture extensions.
This enables designers to achieve significant reductions in code size without compromising performance.
The ThreadX royalty-free RTOS is tightly integrated with Multi and combines a picokernel design with fast timers and a high-speed pre-emption-threshold mechanism.
ThreadX features a context switching time of less then 2us on a 40MHz processor and minimises memory requirements by requiring just 5Kbyte for a minimum footprint.
InterNiche's full line of Internet connectivity products are also available on a royalty-free basis and include a TCP/IP protocol stack, web server, web browser, and POP3 e-mail server.
TELNET, DHCP and FTP servers, as well as routing protocols and SNMP network management software are also available.
Available for Windows 95/98, Windows NT and Unix host platforms, the Multi IDE features a windows-orientated editor, source-level debugger, graphical program builder, run-time error checker, version control system, performance profiler, optimising profiler (CodeBalance) and real-time RTOS EventAnalyzer.
An instruction set simulator (ARMSim) allows programmers to develop and test code on a PC or workstation without the need for the target hardware.
Multi supports a variety of host/target connectivity and debug options, including ARM's EmbeddedICE, Multi-ICE and Angel ROM Monitor, Agilent's Emulator Probe, and Macraigor's OCDemon. Request a free brochure from Green Hills Software ...
