Green Hills Software has announced its MULTI IDE (integrated development environment) and compiler toolchain. With these releases, the company continues to push the boundaries of embedded software performance and developer productivity by delivering tools. MULTI IDE version 6 and Green Hills Compiler version 2012 are available as stand-alone products that can be independently upgraded to adopt CPU support and IDE functionality, claims the company.
The compiler is claimed to achieve a CoreMark benchmark of 288.11 on a Freescale Kinetis K60 at 100MHz for 2.88 CoreMark/MHz. The latest 64bit target support for Freescale QorIQ P5020 power architecture processors in addition to existing support for 64bit Intel architecture processors, says the company. The compiler supports ARM NEON intrinsics, which is a co-processor supported on ARM v7-A architectures, such as the Cortex-A family. The compiler also features a range of processor support including Cortex-A15, Cortex-A9, Cortex-A5, Cortex-M4, Cortex-M1, Cortex-M0, Marvell PJ4, QorIQ P3041, QorIQ P5020, and cnIMPS II.
The IDE release also incorporates many features including TimeMachine and trace improvements, enhanced build time performance, and security and relationship views for INTEGRITY.
The IDE and compiler are suitable for ARM, ColdFire, MIPS (microprocessor without interlocked pipeline stages), power architecture, Intel x86 embedded, Intel x86 Linux native, and Solaris native architectures.
