SwiftX for Embedded Systems
SwiftX is an interactive development environment (IDE) and cross compiler for developing, debugging, and testing firmware code for microcontrollers and microprocessors. SwiftX is available for ARM, ColdFire, MSP430, AVR, 68HCS08, 68HC12, 68K, 68HC11, and 8051 processor cores. For space and radiation-intensive applications, SwiftX is also available for the rad-hard UT69R000 and RTX2010RH microprocessors.
Each SwiftX Evaluation Version has everything you need to experience the SwiftX development system, including low-level details, target source code, full documentation, and useful background material. There is no evaluation time limit, but the target object code is size limited for the evaluations.
