HI-TECH for 68000 v7.21 - legacy compiler^

HI-TECH for 68000 is more than a C compiler - it is a complete development system for C and assembler. With features like an integrated development environment†, assembler-free programming, and an intelligent optimizer, you can develop exceptionally tight and fast code with ease.

The 68000 family of microcontrollers from Freescale Semiconductors offers 32 bit data handling and a large, flat memory space at a 16-bit price. HI-TECH for the 68000 takes full advantage of the large register set and rich addressing modes of these devices.

Using a combination of register variable allocation and register parameter passing, HI-TECH for 68000 achieves excellent code density.

Interrupt functions can be completely coded in C, and I/O ports are directly accessible as C variables. Both 32- and 64-bit IEEE floating point is supported.

HI-TECH for 68000 Compiler Features:

  • Full ANSI C implementation
  • Unlimited number of source files
  • Comprehensive library, including trig and transcendental functions
  • Multiple optimization levels
  • Floating point support (32-bit and 64-bit IEEE)
  • Mixed C and assembler programming
  • Unlimited function nesting and recursion
  • Listings showing generated assembler
  • Optimizing assembler
  • Full linker
  • Remote source-level debugger for low-cost in-target debugging included at no extra cost

Integrated Development Environment

HI-TECH for 68000 can be run entirely from the HI-TECH Professional Development environment†. This environment allows you to manage all of your 68000 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.

Processors Supported

HI-TECH for 68000 supports the Freescale Semiconductor's 68000 microcontroller family, including 68000, 680x0 and CPU-32 and other 68K chips.
