Actum Solutions Realizer® High level design tool for microcontrollers

Features: • Comfortable graphical presentation of desired functionality. • Device independent • Generates PICmicro® Microcontroller (MCU) code directly from a schematic diagram • High level of abstraction, very fast • No learning of assembly language • Supports bit, byte, integer and long variables as well as state transition diagrams • Functional simulation at schematics level of the final object code • Generates 100% error-free code • Create your own special symbols • Software version maintenance is done automatically • Documentation is inherently up-to-date • Supports the “Software-ASIC”-concept: “Put a diagram into a chip”

Product information: Realizer® is a design and development tool that enables you to design a functional block diagram on any Microsoft® Windows® computer. The schematic editor supports a modular approach through a hierarchical drawing/file organization. The use of state transition symbols (state machines) enables the description of a systems behavior in a very comfortable manner. The symbol set can be extended by the designer and is efficiently implemented in assembly. After editing, the drawing is thoroughly and automatically checked by the analyses for inconsistencies (type checking) and design rule violations. Finally Realizer generates code that can directly be put into the microcontroller chip. Using a functional simulator, the designer can check the design for correct functionality using the generated object code. Using functional equivalents of inputs (potentiometers, switches) and outputs (lamps, oscilloscope graphs) and other objects the design can interactively be verified.

CC5X C Compiler

Compact code is the strength of CC5X. Writing code for the PICmicro microcontrollers (MCUs) is a challenge because of the limited code and RAM space. The CC5X compiler was designed to offer assembly level efficiency.

Features:

Local variables are supported. The compiler performs a safe compression by checking the scope of the variables and reusing the locations when possible. The limited variable space is therefore used efficiently. Interrupt support can be tricky. The compiler allows every statement to be written in C code. Interrupt service routines can contain local variables and function calls.

5

The compiler can extend the call level beyond the 2- or 8level restrictions by using GOTO statements when possible. This feature is almost required for the 12-bit core, because two call levels is very limited. The bank selection bits are automatically updated using global optimization. This is a real challenge. The advanced algorithm saves code space compared to simpler implementations.

Software Tools

The first version was released in April 1992. Demo compiler editions can be downloaded and tested.

The MPC compiler uses rule-based expert system optimization to generate efficient code. The macro assembler allows both in-line assembly language, and separate assembly language modules that can be linked with C modules. MPC also includes Byte Craft’s unique BClink Optimizing Linker, which runs a global optimization pass after linking. MPC has extensions to ANSI-C including named address spaces, binary constants, case statement extensions, direct register access and I/O and interrupt functions. You can turn off compiler-generated initialization or forward bank selection, retrieve the 32-bit result of a 16-bit multiply, select 8-bit or 16-bit int, eliminate 16-bit overhead in 8-bit programs and organize memory using named address spaces. Accompanying MPC are libraries (16-bit math, delays, asynchronous serial communication, EEPROM access, 4-or 8-channel A/D) and an extensive set of header files describing the resources of each PICmicro MCU variant. Debugging is easy with the listing file, which shows the C source, generated assembly language, ROM usage and function call map. MPC also produces HEX, symbol and standard Byte Craft .COD files for emulators and programmers.

Product Information: Nine-Bit Serial Protocol (NSP)

µLAN 9-Bit Solution Network Software

Features: • Supports PIC16C74, PIC17C42, PIC16F87X and others • Asynchronous polled master/slave protocol supports up to 250 Slave devices • Easy System Development: full source code and complete documentation, with technical support should you require it. • High Value: add only an RS-485 transceiver to implement the network. • Low Network Overhead: Slaves are only interrupted when a valid address byte or message is received from the Master so each CPU's dedicated control is not compromised. • Low Resource Requirements: simple protocol minimizes resources by using your embedded CPU's USART, innate memory and timers. • Robust Error Checking: CRC checking and sequence numbers are utilized to ensure data integrity. • The protocol has been in use since 1991, with no bugs in the protocol. You can speed your development with confidence

The 9-Bit Solution Network Software facilitates the creation of a multidrop network of embedded controllers. The software implements a polled master/slave 9-bit asynchronous serial communications protocol developed by Cimetrics Technology. Most implementations to date have used a PC Master and a PIC16C74 as the Slave, but many microprocessors are supported. The Slave software is written in assembly language. The network software for the PC consists of C and assembly language source code, libraries, and a sample program. You may run the sample program directly or you may modify it and compile it using a C compiler. Since complete source code is included, you may modify any of the code to suit your particular needs. DOS™, Windows® 3.1, 95/98 and Windows NT® are supported. The NSP protocol is based on the IEEE 1118 Microcontroller System Serial Control Bus standard. We have tried to maintain compatibility with 1118 when it made sense to do so, but some alterations have been made to the message format and commands in order to reduce the complexity of implementation. Note that NSP and 1118 are fundamentally incompatible protocols at a very low level, because 1118 employs synchronous serial communication (like HDLC) whereas NSP uses a 9-bit asynchronous serial character format better suited to the capabilities of a wide range of microcontrollers. NSP uses a single half-duplex communication channel. Generally, the communication medium is twisted-pair cable, in which case RS-485 components provide the line driver and line receiver functions. NSP has also been used over RF links and optical fiber cable. NSP is a polled master/slave protocol in which the single master network node exercises complete control over the network. The master sends commands to which the slaves are generally required to respond. These commands are often data transfer operations such as reading from and writing to slave memory. You can also define your own application-specific commands.

Ing. -Büro Stefan Lehmann iL_BAS16, iL_SIM16 iL_PRG16, iL_VIEW16 and iL_STA16 Features: • BASIC compiler with powerful syntax • Easy-to-use simulator with many features such as several signal generators for pin stimulation. Very fast • Programmer supports PIC16C5X, PIC16C6X, PIC16C7X, PIC16C84 and PIC12C5XX, using the serial port (COM1 to COM4) • In-circuit simulator (hardware) connects your application to the simulator via serial port. Controls your hardware (relay, LEDs, buzzer, switch, I2C™ devices, etc.) from your keyboard and visualizes the results on screen • iL_STA16 is a substitute for the stamp. The onboard PIC16C84 gives you more memory and features. No interpreter but a real BASIC compiler speeds up your performance • Runs under DOS™; AT® with VGA is all you need (reanimate your old computer and give it an new job, ideal for education) • Get your demo software (all functions available, but limited to PIC16C54) via our Web site

Contact: Ing.-Büro Stefan Lehmann

Product Information: iL_BAS16 is a powerful, easy-to-use BASIC compiler. The most important PICmicro® MCUs such as PIC12C508, PIC12C509, PIC16C63 to PIC16C65, PIC16C71 to PIC16C74 and PIC16C84 are supported. Newer types will be adapted as soon as possible. The compiler generates a source file which the assembler (included) translates to an OBJ file. There are powerful statements, (e.g., if you have to control a standard LC-display (with HD 44780) just use the command LCDWRITE). When you want to save some values in a I2C EEPROM, no problem, just use the command I2CWRITE. Maybe you need a I2C interface for a sensor, but you can’t buy it. So do it yourself. Say, “hey, compiler, give me a slave function. The compiler will do it. Easy, isn't it? Other commands are SERIN, SEROUT, DTMFOUT, RCTIME, INKEY, ADINP (PIC16C7X), RANDOM, ASM, ENDASM, CLOCK, INTERRUPT (not PIC12CXXX, PIC16C5X), FOR TO NEXT, IF THEN ELSE, PEEK, POKE, XTAL and many more. For testing your program, you use the simulator iL_SIM16 and get the choice to work on assembler level or to trace through the BASIC code. If you want to stimulate a pin with a square wave, select this function and set the generator to a frequency between 1 Hz and 100 kHz, with a duty cycle from 1:1 to 1:100. Test a serial receiving routine with baud rates from 150 to 19200. For testing the analogue inputs you can define your individual wave shape or select one of the predefined. Interrupts are no problems for this simulator. It works fine, but if you want to check the program working with your hardware, you will have to use an expensive emulator or... iL_view16 is an in-circuit-simulator. It makes a link from your hardware to the simulator. It can do nearly everything except “real-time.” LEDs tell you the actual logic level on each I/O pin. Switches force the pins to a level you want. For beginners and users of “the stamp”, iL_STA16 is their favorite. No interpreter slows down performance but a real BASIC compiler (subset of iL_BAS) allows programming real-time applications. Easy-to-use, just write, compile, download and test the program like you used to do while working with “the stamp.” You need no PICmicro MCU with a BASIC interpreter inside. Ideal for volume production.

iL_BAS16STD iL_BAS16PRO Features:

iL_BAS16STD and iL_BAS16PRO are BASIC compilers which are easy to use but very powerful. Developed by engineers for engineers and technicians to save time and money. Students and teachers favor this compiler because of easy handling and powerful BASIC commands. Fast success is guaranteed and frustration is out. Commands like I2CREAD, I2CWRITE, LCDWRITE, SERIN, SEROUT, etc., make you forget how to implement all these protocols. Never calculating values for delay loops. Define your own interrupt service routine in BASIC or assembler. It is so easy. Key matrix and lC-display may share the same on-lines to reduce the number of I/O lines which are needed. An evaluation software that supports the PIC16C83 ( = PIC16C84 with 512 word ROM) is available on our Web site.

Features:

The I/O Library supports virtually all processors supported by the HI-TECH PICC compiler, from the smallest 8-pin device to the most recent 16-bit core. In the case where the processor has hardware support for peripherals, the I/ O Library often has a corresponding set of drivers to utilize it. The rest of the instances are handled as “bit-bopping.” The I/O Library is ideal for assembly-language programmers as well, because they can use a knowngood set of C source code to provide an algorithm for their own work, or they can import compiler-generated assembly output into their own source files. The I/O Library is ideal for all HI-TECH PICC compiler users, from the hobbyist who demands low cost to the corporation demanding royalty-free, proven code.

Software Tools

Debugging: The simulator/emulator has powerful tools that allow you easy debugging of your programs. It allows changing of any registers’ contents as well as the program code at any instant of execution. It can save the changed program in standard formats. It is possible to work with all symbols used at assembly time. It provides DOS™ SHELL sessions without leaving the simulation. It has two different trace modes – saving register changes after each instruction or registering the microcontroller’s status at specific memory locations (checkpoints). Trace information is primarily stored in compressed mode to speed up the simulation. At any time you can transform this output to a format compatible with spreadsheet programs such as EXCEL®.

TechTools CVASM16 Assembler for PICmicro® Microcontroller (MCU)

Features: • Supports ALL PIC16C5X and PIC16CXXX devices • Dual instruction set: CVASM16 8051-like and Microchip Technology mnemonics • Generates HEX files and assembly listings • Supports global and local Labels • Built-in PICmicro MCU Symbol Tables (defines registers, port bits, etc., automatically) • Data Types: Binary, ASCII, HEX, Decimal, EEPROM origin and Assembly origin • In addition to single-character text, a special instruction generates entire strings • Supports 12 operators to generate mathematical expressions • Easy-to-use BIT operation instructions • Supports assembler directives such as: INCLUDE, ID, DEVICE, EQU, EEDATA, ORG, etc.

Product Information: The ClearView Assembler for Microchip Technology’s 12and 14-bit PICmicro MCUs (CVASM16™) accepts two instruction sets: our own 8051-like instruction set and the original Microchip Technology instruction set. The 8051 like instructions combine one to four Microchip Technology instructions into a single, familiar instruction. This can result in easier to read and maintain code. These “higher level” instructions help to handle some of the lower-level details for you. Of course, if you want to deal with the details, we still accept all of the original Microchip Technology instructions. The new instructions also ease the transition for 8051programmers to the PICmicro MCU architecture. CVASM16 is a fast dual-pass assembler; allowing forward and backward references to labels. Both local and global labels are supported. Symbols for all PICmicro MCU registers are predefined, eliminating the need to '#include' a default symbol list. CVASM16 produces FULL symbolic information, LIST files and HEX files compatible with ClearView™ Mathias emulator, PICwriter™, PICstation™ and all other popular PICmicro MCU device programmers.

CVASM16 is included with every ClearView Mathias and is also available separately.

Universal Cross-Assemblers Cross-32 Meta-Assembler Features: • Table-based macro cross-assembler • Includes over 50 processor families • Supports PIC16C5X, PIC16CXXX, and PIC17CXXX microcontrollers • Uses the manufacturer’s mnemonics • MS-DOS® and Windows® versions • Integrated development environment • Common user access commands • On-line contextual help system • Create tables for other processors • ANSI C arithmetic and logical operators • Free customer support

Product Information: The Cross-32 Meta-Assembler from Universal Cross-Assemblers is a table based macro cross-assembler that compiles programs for numerous different target processors. By using a flexible instruction table structure, it assembles source code for many microprocessors, microcontrollers and digital signal processors, written in the original manufacturer’s mnemonics. Cross-32 reads your assembly language source file and a corresponding assembler instruction table, and writes a list file and an absolute hexadecimal machine file in the binary, Intel® or Motorola® formats. The hexadecimal file can then be downloaded to most EPROM programmers, EPROM emulators and in-circuit emulators. Should an assembly error occur, the integrated development environment will automatically display an error message and highlight the offending text.

Contact: Universal Cross-Assemblers

Cross-32 saves the cost of purchasing many individual assemblers and reduces the time needed to learn numerous different products. Tables for over fifty processor families are included. The user may also create their own processor tables or modify ours. Since many new processor’s assembly language instruction sets are merely super-sets of one of the processors included with Cross-32, this can be as simple as adding several lines to an existing table. Therefore, as new processors are introduced, the assembler does not become obsolete and your investment is protected.
