DDC-I Announces Availability of SCORE Integrated Development Environment for TMS320C40 DSPs.Provides Seamless Upward Migration Path from Ada 83 to Mixed Ada 95/Embedded C++ for Legacy C40 Code PHOENIX -- DDC-I, a leading supplier of development tools for safety-critical applications, today announced the availability of its SCORE[R] Integrated Development Environment See IDE. integrated development environment - interactive development environment (IDE) for Texas Instrument's TMS TMS Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (alternative medicine for depression) TMS Test Match Special (sports - cricket) TMS Texas Motor Speedway TMS Transportation Management System TMS Toyota Motor Sales 320C40. The SCORE IDE makes it easy for C40 developers to take existing Ada 83 programs developed for the C40, upgrade them using a mixture of Ada 95 and Embedded C++, and deploy them on a royalty-free Ada 95 run-time system. The SCORE IDE also makes it easy for C40 developers to migrate their code to other processors such as the PowerPC and X86, with the unique ability to debug multiple targets and languages at the same time. "There has been a lot of Ada 83 code developed for the C40, particularly in defense applications," said Bob Morris, president and 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 DDC-I. "SCORE provides a modern, best-in-class mixed language development environment that makes it easy for C40 developers to upgrade their Ada 83 code and take advantage of the latest Ada 95 and Embedded C++ technology. SCORE also makes it easy for developers to migrate existing C40 code to new processors." To support the C40, DDC-I has developed a new C40 compiler, code generator, and disassembler Software that converts machine language back into assembly language. Since there is no way to easily determine the human thinking behind the logic of the instructions, the resulting assembly language routines and variables are named and numbered generically (A001, A002, etc.). . The SCORE IDE provides full JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) An IEEE standard for boundary scan technology. See scan technology. JTAG - Joint Test Action Group multiprocessor debugging for the C40, including trace and the ability to monitor all registers. SCORE also provides a PC-based C40 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 . SCORE[R] is a mixed-language, object-oriented IDE for developing and deploying safety-critical applications. SCORE provides optimizing compilers for Ada, C, Embedded C++, and Fortran77, all of which pass the applicable ACATS (Advisory Committee on Advanced Television Service) The FCC committee that was formed in 1987 to recommend an advanced TV standard for the U.S. By 1991, ACATS had reduced the number of proposals from 23 to six, which included four all-digital HDTV , PlumHall, Perennial, and FCVS FCVS Fortran Compiler Validation System compiler validation suites. The SCORE[R] IDE features an intuitive GUI (Graphical User Interface) A graphics-based user interface that incorporates movable windows, icons and a mouse. The ability to resize application windows and change style and size of fonts are the significant advantages of a GUI vs. a character-based interface. with industry-leading features such as a color-coded source editor, project management support, and automated build/make utilities. SCORE's mixed-language, multi-window, symbolic debugger recognizes C/EC++, Ada and Fortran syntax and expressions, and can view objects, expressions, call chains, execution traces, interspersed machine code, machine registers, and program stacks. The debugger supports full Ada-level debugging, including constraints, attributes, tasking, exceptions, break-on-exception and break-on-tasking events. The debugger is nonintrusive, can debug at the source or machine level, and can be enabled without changing the generated code. SCORE provides versatile run-time target options, including a bare run-time system certifiable cer·ti·fi·a·ble adj. 1. That can or must be certified. Used of infectious, industrial, and other diseases that are required by law to be reported to health authorities. 2. to Level A of the FCC DO-178B standard, and an enhanced bare run-time system for simulated and emulated environments. The SCORE IDE is available immediately for the TMS320C40. Pricing starts at $5,000. About DDC-I, Inc.
