CodeSourcery and Innovasic Semiconductor Announce the Immediate Availability of Sourcery G++ for the New fido Family of Industrial Microcontrollers.


GRANITE BAY, Calif. & ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Granite Bay-based CodeSourcery Inc. and Albuquerque-based Innovasic Semiconductor announce the immediate availability of Sourcery G++(TM), CodeSourcery's reliable and well-supported version of the GNU Toolchain The GNU toolchain is a blanket term given to the programming tools produced by the GNU project. These projects form an integrated system, or toolchain, that is used for programming both applications and operating systems. , as part of Innovasic's fido1100(TM) evaluation kits. Every fido1100 evaluation kit will include Sourcery G++ Personal Edition, which includes everything needed to develop software for the innovative fido MCU (1) (MicroController Unit) A computer on a single chip. See microcontroller.

(2) (Multipoint Control Unit) A device that is used to moderate a videoconference of three or more end points (users at computers or groups of users
. Sourcery G++ Professional Edition, which includes unlimited support from CodeSourcery's engineers, is available directly from CodeSourcery.

"When we began developing our fido software strategy, it quickly became clear that Sourcery G++ was the right toolchain for the job," said Keith Prettyjohns, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board.  of Innovasic Inc. "CodeSourcery has exceeded our expectations in delivering a robust and complete toolchain for our new product line. We consider CodeSourcery a very important partner."

"The fido1100 MCU, which includes support for context-switching in silicon, is an exciting new technology with very interesting capabilities. We're very pleased that Innovasic has selected Sourcery G++," said CodeSourcery Chief Sourcerer Mark Mitchell Mark Mitchell refers to:
  • Mark Mitchell (actor)
  • Mark Mitchell (American figure skater)
  • Mark Mitchell (Canadian figure skater)
  • Mark Mitchell (musician)
. "Over the next several months, we'll be rolling out a number of improvements to Sourcery G++ specifically targeted for the fido family of microcontrollers. We look forward to working with Innovasic and its customers for years to come."

About CodeSourcery Inc.

CodeSourcery builds software tools that enable its customers to get the most out of hardware platforms Each hardware platform, or CPU family, has a unique machine language. All software presented to the computer for execution must be in the binary coded machine language of that CPU. Following is a list of the major hardware platforms in existence today. See platform.  ranging from embedded devices to supercomputers.

2. Biology Gradually disappearing; imperfectly or only slightly developed.
 problems by developing microcontrollers and peripheral ICs that are 100 percent compatible with an original manufacturer's part in response to an End of Life notice. Having shipped over a million production ICs to the industrial market, Innovasic has become a trusted partner and an approved vendor to many of the leading industrial equipment manufacturers worldwide.

By developing close partnerships with its customers, the company has not only secured numerous wins for its growing line of replacement microcontrollers, but it has now launched its own family of industrial microcontrollers - specifically designed to solve problems typically overlooked by other semiconductor manufacturers. The new fido(TM) brand of microcontrollers have a novel architecture protected by multiple patent applications, while at the same time being compatible with one of the most widely used instruction sets.
