HI-TECH for ARClite v7.85PL1

The ARClite 8-bit RISC microprocessor is a general purpose, synthesizable processor core designed specifically to be embedded in both ASICs and FPGAs.

HI-TECH for ARClite™ compiler offers not only a powerful ANSI C compiler but also a full development system for C. Taking full advantage of the ARClite microRISC instruction set, the compiler produces fast, compact code.

HI-TECH ARClite Compiler Features:

  • ANSI C, supporting all standard data types
  • Unlimited number of source files
  • Multiple optimization levels
  • Comprehensive library with source code
  • Floating point support (IEEE 32-bit)
  • Mixed C and assembler programming
  • Unlimited function nesting and recursion
  • Listings showing generated assembler
  • Optimizing assembler
  • Full linker

Integrated Development Environment

HI-TECH for ARClite can be run entirely from the HI-TECH Professional Development environment. This environment allows you to manage all of your ARClite microRISC projects. You can compile, assemble and link your embedded application with a single step.
Optionally, the compiler may be run directly from the command line, allowing you to compile, assemble and link using one command.

Real Time Operating System

HI-TECH Salvo is a low cost RTOS suitable for single-chip microcontrollers. Salvo™ can help you to implement new designs quickly, enhance functionality using existing resources and improve real-time performance. It allows for multitasking and uses memory efficiently. Salvo will allow you to minimize costs while maximizing reliability with severly limited RAM and ROM. It provides many additional benefits to the development process and the initial cost can be offset by reduced development time and improved performance.
