C6805 Code Development System

Source: Byte Craft Limited
The C6805 Code Development System supports the Motorola 68HC05 family of microcontrollers.
C6805 Code Development System

Byte Craft's latest release of the C6805 Code Development System is now available. It offers:

  • an optimizing C Cross-compiler.
  • the BCLink linker.
  • an Integrated Development Environment and editor.
  • a built-in macro cross-assembler.
  • The C6805 Code Development System supports the Motorola 68HC05 family of microcontrollers.

    C6805 includes enhanced memory management such as LOCAL and SPECIAL memory directives. The LOCAL address space directive allows the user to maximize the use of RAM, direct the placement of local variables, re-use RAM locations and pass multiple arguments to functions. The SPECIAL memory directive adds support for variables in all types of memory, external or internal.

    Using the LOCAL memory directive, developers can now pass an unlimited number of bytes to a function as function parameters.

    C6805 version 4.50 offers tighter code optimization, reducing code size by up to 5% compared to version 4.10b of C6805.

    Availability

    The C6805 Code Development System version 4.50 is now available. Contact Byte Craft for pricing, ordering and upgrade information. Available for DOS, HP-UX and Sun Solaris.

    Features

    The Byte Craft Limited C6805 Code Development Systems supports the entire Motorola 68HC05 family of microcontrollers.

    • Highly optimized generated code. Full versions generate ROMable code.
  • Part-specific header files describe the unique features of each target device.
  • Compiler configuration using #pragma directives.
  • Ports are declared and protected using the
  • #pragma port series of directives
  • The
  • #pragma vector directive specifies the location and assigned name for interrupt sources.
  • BClink Linker links object files and libraries compiled with C6805
  • Object libraries can be included directly in C source files using Absolute Code Mode
  • Named address spaces support the grouping of variables at specific memory locations
  • SPECIAL address space declares variables at special locations such as external devices or internal EPROM
  • LOCAL address space allows you to use local variables
  • Extensions to the C language designed specifically for the embedded systems developer. Some extensions include the bit and bits data types, binary constants, extended case statements, direct variable placement with the @ symbol, and support for processor-specific functions.
  • interrupt handler support in C; makes context saving and restoring easy.
  • Data types include:
    • bit, bits
    • char, short, int, long
    • int8, int16, int24, int32
    • float
    • float24, float32, fixed16:8, fixed16:16
  • Selectable 8 or 16 bit int data type.
  • Packed bit fields in structs.
  • Include single and multiple lines of inline assembly within a C program with the
  • #asm and #endasm directives
  • Extensive control over computer-generated initialization.
  • Support for hardware registers such as Mask Option Register.
  • Supports the instruction extensions DAA, MUL, STOP, WAIT.
  • Supports processor specific instructions CLC, CLI, NOP, RSP, SEC, SEI, STOP, SWI, WAIT.
  • Allows direct access to AC, X, CC registers.
  • Support for source-level debugging with popular emulators including Motorola's MMDS05.
