For over ten years Intel has been providing a complete development environment for the 32-bit embedded RISC market. The i960® processor family is supported by a comprehensive tools support program - what we call the Intel Solutions960® program.
The Solutions960® program:
This program includes more than 80 vendors, offering 240+ development tools, such as in-circuit emulators, compilers, operating systems, evaluation boards, assemblers, debuggers (gdb960) monitor (MON960) and more. The strong development tools program helps designers easily access the hardware and software support they need - all in a single place. These tools can help shorten both development cycle and time to market. Check out the Electronic Tools Catalog for more information.
Here are just some of the Intel tools:
CTOOLS Release 6.5 (Download Release 6.5 source code or patches):
Intel's CTOOLS provides a complete set of application development tools for developing embedded designs. This includes advanced optimizing, C/C++ compilers, an assembler, a linker, utilities, a GUI-based debugger and a variety of libraries including floating-point emulation.
Besides operating with popular operating systems, CTOOLS also incorporates common specifications in all areas. Compatibility with known specifications makes new users productive immediately and ensures access to existing application code. CTOOLS can be used across all members of the i960 processor family. Command line switches allow the compiler to take advantage of specific architectural features.
From the $7 i960 SA/SB processor to the 166 MIPS of the i960 HA/HD/HT processors and the Intelligent I/O processing needs addressed by the i960 RX/VH processors, Intel and the solutions960 program are committed to providing the finest development environment available.
