HI-TECH C compiler and Embedded Software Development Tools for the ARM Architecture

HI-TECH C for the ARM Architecture is a high-performance C compiler for the extensive range of embedded microcontrollers and microprocessors based on the ARM Architecture. Delivering excellent code density and reliability, HI-TECH C allows embedded firmware development in a fraction of the time required for conventional assembly language programming. HI-TECH C implements full ISO/ANSI C allowing code portability. Programs may be comprised of any mix of ARM or Thumb functions. All data types including floating point are supported.

HI-TECH C Embedded Compiler for ARM

• Reliable - based on HI-TECH Software's mature, field-proven embedded compiler and tools technology
• Modular - includes full object code linker and library manager
• Cost-effective - productivity gains rapidly repay purchase cost
• Compatible - command-line driver integrates into 3rd-party development tools
• Library Source - for standard libraries and sample code for I/O drivers
• Complete - includes macro assembler, preprocessor and one-step driver

Embedded Tools Environment for HI-TECH C for ARM.

HI-TIDE is a powerful embedded development tools environment with full project management and editor, providing a fully-featured front end to the HI-TECH C compiler.

Compiled code can be easily emulated with advanced source-level debugging features. Included in the HI-TECH C Package is a full-speed JTAG debugger using a USB interface.

Optionally, the compiler may be run directly from the command line, allowing you to compile, assemble and link using one command. This enables the compiler to be integrated into third party development environments.

HI-TECH C allows you to concentrate on developing your application, and eliminates much of the detailed, low-level coding effort. Our commitment to quality customer service ensures that you will have access to timely, accurate technical support when needed.

HI-TECH C is frequently updated to support new cores and instruction set variants as they become available, as well as specific device implementations from a wide range of manufacturers. The ANSI C basis of the compiler protects your code investment.

Processors Supported

Currently the HI-TECH C compiler directly supports version 4 and above instruction sets for both ARM and Thumb
