Toolset makes more of MCU memory
V7.5 of the Tasking C166/ST10 toolset delivers advanced automated memory utilisation for the complete range of C166/ST10 derivatives.
The XC161 and XC164 are the new feature-loaded microcontrollers in the C166 family, and are based on the C166S V2 core.
The new TriCore TC1765 is a powerful and cost-effective extension of Infineon's TriCore microcontroller line.
Since Infineon Technology was founded in April 1999, Altium has been committed to supplying quality development tools for its range of 8, 16, 32bit and DSP architectures.
As a result of working closely with Infineon, Altium is now the only vendor to support all microcontrollers from Infineon - including the four new microcontrollers released this week.
Frank Grobe, Senior Manager of Infineon's Product Marketing Microcontroller group, stated: "We are proud to introduce our new products and to get support from our tool partner Altium.
The availability of the three Tasking C and C ++ compilers is again a confirmation of Altium's commitment to support Infineon and its customers.
With the uniform development solution for our 8, 16, 32bit as well as DSP microcontroller architectures Altium eases the migration from one architecture to another for our customers".
Tasking offers an integrated software development environment that enables developers to take advantage of the complete range of Infineon microcontrollers by providing all the capabilities needed for application development from project management, editing, and program building to compiling, optimising, and debugging.
Their software development toolsets consisting of the award winning Tasking embedded development environment (EDE), highly optimising C and C++/EC++ compilers, assembler, linker/locator, and the CrossView Pro debugger.
Tasking toolsets have three debugger execution environments available for the various Infineon microcontrollers - the ROM monitor debugger, the simulator debugger, and the OCDS (JTAG on-chip debugging interface) debugger - and delivers advanced debugging capabilities to ensure developers can directly verify target applications and graphically detect errors.
By working closely with chip manufacturers to support new architectures as soon as they are available, Altium continues to break down the barriers to innovation and technological advancement, and provide every electronic engineer and embedded system developer with easy access to the best possible design tools.
The Tasking TriCore, C16x/XC16x and 8051/C500/C868 software development tools are now available for PC/Windows, PC/Linux and Sun/Solaris.
