The PowerPC Software Development Toolset

EDE (Embedded Development Environment)
...supplies you with direct and easy access to all the tools you need for your embedded application development via a single user interface. EDE enables you to:

• easily navigate between tools
• define multiple project environments and dependencies
• quickly edit using a language sensitive editor
• automatically generate make files
• access to third party tools
• personalise your environment to your needs
• easily configure the C compiler, C++ compiler, assembler, linker/locator and debugger
• organize object files into an archive library
• convert ELF object format into hexadecimal so programs can be downloaded into EPROM or flash

PPC C/C++ Compiler
…applies powerful optimisation algorithms which combined with PowerPC specific optimisations produces the most efficient code for you application.

• ANSI C and ISO C++
• Conforms fully to ANSI C X3.159-1989 and the X3J16C++ standard
• C++ supports templates, dynamic casts, run-time type identification and exception handling
• Extensive compiler optimisations
• Branch and time profiling
• In-line assembly
• Macro preprocessing
• Fully reentrant libraries for ANSI C, floating point, C++ classes and functions, low-level I/O, symbolic register access
• Multiple locator output formats

PowerPC CrossView Pro Debugger
…provides features and functionality to help shorten debugging sessions, test/verify applications and determine performance bottlenecks.

• All features accessible via a Graphical User Interface (GUI)
• Full support of PowerPC on-chip debug unit
• Debug applications in ROM
• File System Simulation requires no special user interaction and enables the testing of I/O functions without hardware
• Record and playback eliminates repetitive debugging sessions and helps speed up testing
• Powerful breakpoints (code, data, on-chip, assertions, complex, permanent, temporary)
• High Speed Simulator includes a Peripheral Debug Interface
• Code Coverage capabilities in the simulator
• Programmable graphical data analysis allow the quick detection of errors in input or output routines
• "Bubble-Spy" immediately views values of a variable or function
• Register grouping into meaningful sets such as UART, special purpose, floating point
• Symbolic register editing enters the register value by specifying the meaning of the bits in the register
• Integrated Flash Programming capabilities
• Mixed-mode source/assembly display with C source lines highlighted in mixed disassembly mode
• Open Architecture encourages interoperability with other vendors
• Multiple execution environments (Simulator, ROM monitor, On-chip debug,In-Circuit Emulator)
• Multiple viewing windows display the type and level of information you need
• Full trace including C level, assembly level and stack
• Compatibility with other third party compilers

• Real Time Operating Systems that support the TASKING tools: RTXC from Quadros Systems Inc >>>

Availability and Packaging

The PowerPC software development tools are available for PC/Windows and Sun/Solaris.
