Sourcery G++ for Silicon Vendors

As a CPU manufacturer, you know that much of the software built for your CPU will be built with the GNU Toolchain. GCC and G++ are the de facto standard C and C++ compilers on GNU/Linux and are extremely popular in other embedded environments. In fact, you will likely want to include the GNU Toolchain in your development kits or provide the GNU Toolchain for download from your web site.

Sourcery G++ (CodeSourcery's version of the GNU Toolchain) offers superior:

• Features: optimizations and improvements not available in other GNU tooclhains
• Integration: IDE, assembler, and runtime libraries in a single convenient package
• Quality: thorough validation for your target platform
• Customization: optimizations and enhancements for your CPU or target board
• Support: your customers have direct access to CodeSourcery engineers

More Information

Features

Sourcery G++ contains additional features, including optimizations and support for micro-architecture variants, that are not yet available in other versions of the GNU Toolchain. CodeSourcery also incorporates (or "back-ports") relevant patches so that you do not have to scour the internet for patches that improve behavior on your target system.

Integration

Sourcery G++ is a fully integrated development platform, including the Eclipse IDE, the GNU C and C++ compilers, the GNU assembler, GNU linker, runtime libraries, and other tools — all validated together. Sourcery G++ includes a graphical installation wizard that gets users up and running in minutes.

Quality

Sourcery G++ is carefully tested using both free and proprietary testsuites. CodeSourcery carefully analyzes failures in these testsuites and corrects defects — before they reach your customers. CodeSourcery will run its tests on your target boards to ensure that your customers will have a positive out-of-box experience.

Customization

If you need customization of the GNU Toolchain (e.g., support for accessing flash memory on your target board, custom linker scripts, optimization for your CPU, etc.), CodeSourcery will be happy to help. Our expert developers can quickly implement required customizations and contribute them to the official upstream repositories. CodeSourcery can also work with you to ensure that any toolchain customizations are available to your operating system partners.

Support

CodeSourcery provides end-user support contracts for Sourcery G++. So, you have a solution for those customers who want to use the GNU Toolchain, but do not want to rely on unuspported products. Your support staff will be free to focus on the problems that relate directly to your product.
