SYDNEY, Australia -- Altium Limited Altium or Altium Limited is Australian CAD/CAE software company, listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX code: ALU).

The company was founded in 1985 in Hobart, Tasmania, to fill a need in the electronics industry for easy to use, PC-based ECAD software.

:ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) The high-speed CPU circuit that does calculating and comparing. Numbers are transferred from memory into the ALU for calculation, and the results are sent back into memory. Alphanumeric data are sent from memory into the ALU for comparing. ), a leading developer of Windows-based electronics design software, today released a new version of its TASKING C166/ST10 software development toolset.

Version 8.5 of the TASKING C166/ST10 toolset features numerous enhancements to the compiler and debugger and introduces a number of key improvements. Programming large applications is now easier -- with support for 'the huge memory model' and additional memory allocation functions offering an optimal match of the application's program setup to the hardware organization. Increased configurability of MISRA C compliance checking enables developers more flexibility to decide whether the code is required or just advised to comply with particular rules in keeping with the standards of their company and the requirements of the project.

To add more flexibility to the toolset's licensing, Altium added a new license manager that enables licenses to be 'checked out' from and returned to the license pool on the server so that they can be used on a laptop. Version 8.5 of the toolset also introduces support for the latest derivatives from Infineon, such as the C165H, C166S and XC164CM, and STMicroelectronics ST10M397 architectures.

The C166/ST10 CrossView Pro debugger has also been enhanced in the new version of the toolset. The instruction set simulator An Instruction Set Simulator (ISS) is a simulation model, usually, but by no means always, coded in a high-level language, which mimics the behavior of a mainframe or microprocessor by "reading" instructions and maintaining internal variables which represent the processor's  now includes support for peripheral simulation, enabling developers to validate their software application more thoroughly through simulated interaction with the outside world before testing on the hardware -- a feature that is particularly helpful when software development is ahead of the hardware development schedule. Altium also added a new Remote Evaluation Board Access Server to enable remote debugging on standard evaluation boards or proprietary target hardware over a TCP/IP TCP/IP
