Software Development

Software tools Comprehensive suite of GNU based cross development tools

Compiler, assembler, linker, loader, libraries Supported under Linux and Windows

Derived from previous ASProCore programming tools and libraries Proven on seven ASProCore versions over 10 years

Programming Majority of customers

Use the Aspex encoder libraries and program in C/C++ via the library API Some customers wishing to differentiate themselves

Directly programming the PUs in an extended version of C/C++ New statement to declare data parallel variables and perform data parallel

operations

Programming model Conventional SISD processor with co-processors Simple to understand, program and debug
