TASKING Demonstrates First Software Development Tools for CARMEL
Santa Clara CA, DSP World Spring 1999 Conference,
April 26 1999 — TASKING demonstrated the first software
development toolset for the CARMEL DSP from Infineon Technologies
AG. This integrated toolset consists of the Embedded Development
Environment EDE, ANSI C compiler, C-like assembler and the CrossView
Pro debugger that includes a cycle accurate simulator. This
combination of tools and integration gives engineers the ability to
get up and running quickly and sustain that momentum until the end
of the project. "Close cooperation with Infineon
Technologies CARMEL team enabled us to deliver software development
tools that gives users access to the CLIW (Configurable Long
Instruction Word) technology", said Lorraine Miller, VP of
Worldwide Marketing for TASKING. "This ability, together
with the smooth integration of the software tools really jump starts
project development". "The combination of TASKING strength in
software development tools and Infineon Technologies experience in
providing a high performance, low power consumption DSP core creates
the synergism for setting worldwide standards in the fields of open
architecture DSPs," said Dr. Soenke Mehrgardt, Executive
Vice President and CTO, Infineon Technologies. TASKING has utilized its 20 years of experience
developing compilers to respond to DSP customer demands for a
product that has the performance of assembly language with the ease
of use of a C compiler. TASKING's C-like assembler offers
function-like instructions for math, procedures, program-flow and
hardware repeat instructions, all written in a syntax very similar
to C. Tool integration has been achieved by using
TASKING's award winning Embedded Development Environment EDE. With
features such as: Project file management,
Point and click target configuration,
Powerful editor and MAKE and build utilities
and
Open interface for integrating other tools,
TASKING's EDE delivers a development environment that enables a
project to get started and finished quickly.
CrossView Pro, TASKING's debugger, provides all
the features needed for testing and debugging the application. To
facilitate a rapid-edit-compile-debug process, CrossView Pro has: Point and click access to all features,
Record and playback for QA,
Code coverage and performance profiling for
program tuning and
Two debug environments, cycle accurate
simulation and On Chip Debugger Support (OCDS),
these features give the project team a product that can be used
through all the phases of testing and debugging.
Available now on Windows 95/98/NT. TASKING is a developer and supplier of integrated
software development tools for the embedded systems market and
supports a wide range of CISC, RISC, microcontroller and DSP
semiconductor technologies. TASKING's knowledge of embedded systems
results from the merger of three companies BSO, Intermetrics
Microsystems and TASKING which are now embedded together to make
their customers more successful. The three companies bring over 20
years of experience each, starting in 1974 with BSO pioneering the
concept of cross development. TASKING has offices worldwide including Dedham,
MA (headquarters), San Jose, California, The Netherlands, Germany,
France, Italy and Japan. For a complete list of offices and
