V8 USB Dongle And New Features That Increase Usability

We have been quite busy here at ImageCraft. The V8 USB dongle is in production – we have the electronic parts made and we are waiting for the manufacturer to deliver the custom plastic casings. They should be released in mid to late June. We are now running a pre-production sale:  you can purchase the dongle for $49.99, instead of $60 when it is released. In the usability area, we have just added some MISRA C static checks to our V8 AVR compiler. MISRA (Motor Industry Software Reliability Association) C is a set of guidelines aimed to improve a program’s […]

New Server and Other Status

We have moved the ImageCraft blog from wordpress to our own server. Product news wise, we are now finishing up the XGate assembler support for the CPU12 compiler. The XGate is an independent RISC processor available on some Freescale CPUS12X devices. It can offload a lot of tasks that otherwise would cause interrupts to the main CPU and degrade the main CPU’s performance. While Freescale’s main focus is in the automative and other industrial applications, the CPUS12 and follow-on series can still be quite useful in general embedded designs. The prices for the Freescale S12/S12X chips may be higher than

ICCV8 for AVR Released

After a year+ of researching and various false starts, and after surviving through the biggest downturn our industry has seen, and after some hard work by our consultant in porting the CodeBlocks IDE, and finally on the account of my birthday 🙂 ICCV8 for AVR is here. You can download the demo from our site. The Purchase page is up. The upgrade from V7 equivalent version is priced at $75 until July 1st. Thank you for your support. Now I can go to sleep 🙂

ICCV8 for Cypress PSoC1 (M8C Core) PRO Released

We have just formally released ICCV8 for Cypress PSoC1 PRO. You can download the 45 day fully functional demo from our website. In 2009, Cypress and our company signed an Agreement that allows Cypress’ PSoC Designer software to include a license to our ICCM8C STD compiler. The STD compiler is found to generate code that is approximately 15%-20% smaller than the previous available free compiler from another vendor.  The PRO compiler is fully compatible with the STD compiler so no code change is needed. Currently the code size reduction of the PRO compiler over the STD version is about 10%.

Next-Gen IDE, Code::Blocks pre-Alpha

Ancient History When we started ImageCraft back in 1994, I don’t think any embedded compiler has an IDE at the time. We released our first Windows IDE before just about everyone else. It was a Windows 3.1 program, if I remember correctly. Around 2001 we released the V6 IDE with compatibility with 32-bits Windows. Then around 2005 we released the V7 IDE with a slightly more modern look. IDE is a funny thing – it’s the first thing that potential customers see, but our customers have always told us that in the end, quality code generation is the number one
