Description
Summary:Effective embedded software development tools are essential to better exploit the inherent capabilities of these processors. We developed the FlexWare embedded software development environment in response to this need, focusing essentially on the performance and retargetability of our tools. Our benchmarks demonstrate that, despite the wide range of processors we cover, we have achieved state-of-the-art embedded software-tool performance and functionality. Moreover, we demonstrate their wide range of retargetability, ranging from simple microcontrollers to complex multimedia DSPs and network processors.
