ken@dvpdev.UUCP (Ken Greenebaum) (07/09/90)

Sorry for the crossposting.

Anyone do 386 based embedded systems work?? We would love to speak with
you!!!

We want to put together a software development platform for 386 target
boards (we design dedicated boards).

We are interested in the 386 PC-Unix, or MSDOS platforms, and are evaluating
these products:
    Intel 386 development tools
    Metaware Hi-C 386 C compiler
    Watcom C compiler
    Phar-Lap Linkloc linker/locator
    Concurrent Science Softscope debugger
      this needs Intel imIII monitor

Any comments?

Can you suggest other products?

What are you using out there?  Do you like it?? 

Is anyone using a C++ product for embedded systems?

Please reply by email, or telephone collect (301)670-9282
ask for Ken Greenebaum, or Boris Donskoy.

Generates nice fast code, but don't ever consider using it for
floating point math.  The floating point code it generates is
inaccurate and has no provisions for error detection.
