Engineers can prototype their software code on a Linux-based host platform using C/C++ tools that are designed specifically for embedded development with the CAD-UL C/C++ toolkit. The toolkit provides a code-generation toolchain for development of embedded applications under Linux and features the firm's ANSI-compatible C/C++ compilers and Embedded C++ module; the CAD-UL linker and assembler; C/C++ libraries; and the floating-point emulator library, which speeds program execution without requiring a floating-point coprocessor.
