Project Configuration
 

HI-TIDE 3 makes managing your project development easy with its user friendly project manager. Unlike conventional IDEs, HI-TIDE 3 stores everything associated with a project in its own directory (folder). Need to share your project with a co-worker? Simply export the project as a ZIP file and HI-TIDE 3 will take care of archiving the necessary files, avoiding the dreaded missing header file or lost build option. Project creation is handled by a simple-to-use wizard which steps through the configuration for your new application.

C-Wiz Code Creation
 

A time consuming part of embedded development is reading through datasheets for the specifics on how to configure the processor and its peripherals. Not only does this take time, but it is error-prone. Some sections of the datasheets can be intepreted differently or it could be that an errata may have been issued but is in a different document you weren't aware of. Introducing C-Wiz, the code creation tool. C-Wiz provides a graphical way to configure such things and will generate the corresponding C code for you. Let C-Wiz take care of the distracting details so that you can focus on the core purpose of your application.

Debugger
 

Included within HI-TIDE 3 is an advanced debugging environment. The environment supports all of the standard debugging facilities such as source-level debugging in C and assembler files, breakpoints, single-step execution along with variable watching and memory views. The debugger environment has been designed in such a way that multiple instances of the debugger are permitted. This can be useful where you have two (or more) versions of an application which you would like to execute simultaneously for comparison purposes. Since the compiler, IDE and debugger are all made by us, there are no hassles trying to get different vendor's tools to work together or issues with debugging file formats.

Editor
 

HI-TIDE 3 is built on Eclipse, an extensible development platform and application framework for building software which is fast becoming the standard development environment used by developers. Included in this environment is a flexible editor providing syntax highlighting, code completion, auto-indenting and a range of colored markers which indicate warnings, errors and advisories within your code. Unlike conventional IDEs where you must initiate compilation of your program via a menu, HI-TIDE 3 builds your project in the background as changes are made. This allows indicators to give feedback and facilitates a more productive development approach.

Version Control
 

Keep your source code safe with built-in support for CVS version control. With Eclipse's plug-in design, if you use an alternative version control system then more than likely there is a plug-in available.
