Compiler Support

UDE supports cross compiler packages for the C166, ST10, XE166, XC2000, TriCore, Power Architecture, Arm, RH850 and SH-2A families – HighTec (GNU), Tasking, Wind River, Byte Craft, ImageCraft, and Renesas. Using the Universal Debug Engine, you will be able to optimize the flexibility and efficiency of the selected compiler. A description of all supported compilers can be seen below. Since each compiler has its’ own characteristics and features, please contact us if you have special development, or system requirements.
