C/C++ Compiler and Debugger tools for ARM Cortex-M

 

Tasking 支援ARM 處理器並沒有很長的時間，主要因為Tasking 專注在汽車電子、工業控制等微控器支援。而現今Cortex-M 處理器核心逐漸受到微控器廠家採用，Tasking 也受託開發適合微控器發展使用之ARM Cortex-M Compiler and Debugger 軟體。而VX-Toolset for ARM 就是將Altium 開發者帶入更強且先進成熟的開發工具；使用新一代Viper C 技術架構，讓開發者可完全使用先進的ARM 受歡迎的技術。憑藉Viper C 技術，C 編譯器得以為ARM 快速產生機械碼及未來汽車電子/ 工業控制/ 訊耗處理應用所需之生成碼。此 ARM Compiler 配備了最先進的功能，如MISRA C/ CERT C 代碼、代碼分析儀及代碼即時錯誤檢查等功能。VX-Toolset for ARM 包含了有以下的功能：

  • Industry-standard Eclipse™ IDE integration
  • ARM C compiler based on Altium’s next-generation Viper compiler technology, generating extremely compact and fast-executing code
  • ISO C++ compiler, scalable to EC++
  • C compiler, supporting Cortex-M0, M3 and M4 based microcontrollers, Cortex-R based microcontrollers, and Cortex-M1 softcore
  • Software Platform Builder with RTOS and many middleware options
  • Assembler with macro-preprocessor, linker and locator
  • C/C++ libraries, run-time libraries, floating-point libraries
  • New debugger technology, fully integrated into Eclipse, ready for the latest industry debugging trends like multi-core application development

縱使這般功能完善的工具，Altium 也為廣大的使用者提供一個低廉的價格、完善的技術支援及隨時的版本修訂等服務。在Altium 相關開發工具如Altium Designer 也可以同步更新及技術共享。
