Altium/TASKING is a Hitex tool partner. The TASKING C and C++ development tools support many DSPs and 8-, 16- and 32-bit microprocessors and microcontrollers. The TASKING 8051, C166 / ST10 and TriCore tools have been tested and are compatible with Hitex in-circuit emulators.

Hitex has extensive experience with using the Tasking C166 and Tricore compilers and have distributed the former in the UK since 1993. For the C166, you can download our "Introduction To The Tasking C166 Compiler", which is in fact the course notes for our Tasking C166 training course held at our UK HQ on the University Of Warwick Science Park periodically.

If you are finding the Tasking memory models and linker/locator files somewhat puzzling then we can supply a number of C166 and Tricore template programs that will get you started.

Useful "extras" you get when you order your Tasking compiler from Hitex:

Expert technical support from professional engineers who have actually used the compilers and that are based in the UK, not overseas.
A free copy of the Motor Industry Software Reliability Association's "Guidelines For The Use Of C In Vehicle Systems" (worth £25!)
A copy of the "Introduction To The Tasking C166 Compiler" with the C166 compiler.
A day free basic tuition on the Tricore compiler (Tricore architecture is very powerful but very complex and most people need a little help to get started!)
For Tasking C++ C166 compiler we can supply you with a real example C++ application that uses the C167's ADC, CAPCOMs and CAN modules via C++ classes. This makes a good starting point.
