DDC-I announces SCORE integrated development environment for TMS320C40 DSPs

PHOENIX, 31 Dec. 2006. DDC-I, a supplier of development tools for safety-critical applications, has announced the availability of its SCORE Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for Texas Instrument's TMS320C40.

The SCORE IDE enables 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 code to other processors such as the PowerPC and X86, with the 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," says Bob Morris, president and CEO of DDC-I.

To support the C40, DDC-I has developed a new C40 compiler, code generator, and disassembler. The SCORE IDE provides full JTAG multiprocessor debugging for the C40, including trace and the ability to monitor all registers. SCORE also provides a PC-based C40 instruction set simulator.

SCORE 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, PlumHall, Perennial, and FCVS compiler validation suites.

SCORE provides versatile run-time target options, including a bare run-time system certifiable 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 now for the TMS320C40. Pricing starts at $5,000.
