Archelon's C development system for the Intel i960
- support for all members of the 960 family (including SA, SB, KA, KB, JX, MC, CX, and HX),
- the best instruction scheduler,
- the fastest compile times,
- complete compatibility with other 960 compilers (along with some useful extensions),
- complete conformance to the American National Standards Institute C standard (ANSI C),
- very good code quality,
- support for the most popular format used for debugging tables, and
- Timely free software support on demand.
System components
The Archelon C package includes the AC960 driver program, the ACPP ANSI C preprocessor (with extensions), the CC960 ANSI C compiler, the S960 state-of-the-art instruction scheduler, the AAS960 assembler, the ALD960 linker, the AAR960 object librarian, the ROM960 ROM image builder, COFF file utility programs, and a full ANSI C library (with separate versions for the SA/KA/JX, for the SB/KB/MC, and for the CX/HX).
We use the widely-respected Plum Hall Validation Suite to test conformance to the ANSI standard.
The DOS versions of the package also include a special installation program which makes the job of installation exceptionally simple.
The assembler, linker, librarian, and ROM image builder are built from the GNU tools source code base used by Intel for their 960 products. We have repackaged these tools for our own purposes and we support them as if they were our own. These tools are covered by the GNU General Public Licence, which, among other things, means you can obtain their source code if you so desire.
The driver, preprocessor, compiler, scheduler, and library are our own.
