Altium updates TASKING TriCore VX-toolset to v2.2

Viper technology improves code performance and execution speed

Version 2.2 of Altium's TASKING TriCore VX-toolset uses next generation Viper compiler technology to achieve code performance improvement of up to 25%. Version 2.2 also offers a vast array of new features specifically aligned to Infineon's 32-bit TriCore microcontrollers, including support for the latest variants - TC1115 and TC1796.

The TriCore VX-toolset has also been tested and qualified with Infineon's new Debug Access Server (DAS) solution, developed to replace Infineon's low-level OCDS drivers. This provides on-chip debugging functionality with the TASKING CrossView Pro debugger on TC1796 evaluation boards on Windows-XP systems.

The new TriCore VX-toolset supports last year's MISRA-C:2004 update as an additional option, along with support of the original MISRA-C:1998 guidelines. As with the latest TASKING toolset for the C166/XC166 family, the new TriCore VX-Toolset offers increased configurability of MISRA-C:2004 compliance checking. It provides developers greater flexibility to determine whether code is required or recommended to comply with MISRA-C:2004, depending on the company's standards and project requirements.

The version 2.2 tools are now shipping from Direct Insight, Tasking's long-standing UK and Ireland partner.
