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.
-Ken

The floating point code it generates is >inaccurate and has no provisions for error detection. Any recommendations for 386 C compilers for generating programs using mucho floating point math ?? I am currently using Microway C 2.0.8 . This compiler supports both Intel 387 and Weitek 3167. However, the "ansi" option is broken. I would like an ansi-compatible compiler if possible. In addition, the application I am developing includes a Motif interface to the above number crunching app. These are separate load modules. The interface is compiled with cc (Microsoft compiler) since I can't get the Microway compiler to work with the Motif development system. As you might have guessed, I am using SCO Opendesktop which provides the Microsoft compiler as the default UNIX compiler. I would like to be able to use the same compiler for all the load modules involved in this large application. Are there any compilers supporting the Weitek and Motif ?? -- Dr. Victor L.

I have not seen inaccurate results but have experienced that it only works correct in combination with a coprocessor or 3.0 floating point emulation library. It will give not correct results with a 3.2 floating point emulation library. I have had contact with metaware about this. They state that both the microsoft and AT&T 3.2 version are not correct. -- Peter Brouwer, # Philips Information Systems, NET : pb@idca.tds.philips.nl # Department SSP-P9000 Building V2, UUCP : ....!mcsun!philapd!pb # P.O.Box 245, 7300AE Apeldoorn, The Netherlands.
