MicroAPL's development and porting tools are designed to be
compatible with many of the leading embedded development toolsets. In
particular, we work closely with the following partners:
 
Freescale Semiconductor (formerly Motorola SPS)
commissioned the development of our three Coldfire products:
- PortAsm/68K for ColdFire
- CF68KLib
- ColdFire Init
These tools allow developers to rapidly move existing
680x0 based code to the full range of ColdFire CPUs.
Freescale Semiconductor also commissioned the development of the following products:
- PortAsm/68K for M·CORE, allowing 680x0 code to be migrated to their range of M·CORE CPUs.
- MACInit, a graphical tool for generating code to initialize the MAC7100 family of embedded processors
 
Metrowerks,
Inc have developed the CodeWarrior® integrated development
environment which includes support for C, C++, Pascal and Java®
and is currently hosted on Windows, MacOS, Solaris® and
Linux. These tools can currently target a number of embedded
operating systems and processors including PowerPC, MIPS, 680x0,
and ColdFire.
Our PortAsm range of products is fully compatible with the
CodeWarrior IDE and the assemblers it provides for the embedded
environments, for ColdFire, M·CORE, 80x86 and PowerPC targets. PortAsm is
available as a plug-in to run directly under CodeWarrior, providing a
tightly-integrated and easy-to-use development and debugging
environment.
We have worked closely with
Freescale Semiconductor
to ensure that our PortAsm for PowerPC and
Mimic/68K range of products support the full range of
Freescale PowerPC processors and are compatible with the
PowerPC Embedded Application Binary Interface (EABI)
standard.
 Tornado®, VxWorks®, Diab® and SingleStep®
Tornado and VxWorks from Wind
River Systems, Inc together provide a sophisticated development
environment and powerful RTOS integrated into a complete solution for
embedded development, targeting a wide range of processors. The Gnu
compilers, assemblers and linkers are usually used for Tornado
development.
PortAsm/68K for PowerPC, PortAsm/86 for PowerPC and
Mimic/68K are compatible with Tornado, VxWorks and the Gnu
tools, allowing WindRiver clients to migrate legacy 680x0 code to
PowerPC targets using Tornado.
SingleStep® is one of the leading
debuggers/development environments for both the PowerPC and ColdFire
architectures.
All of MicroAPL's embedded products are fully compatible with
SingleStep, in conjunction with the Diab Data and Metaware compilers,
assemblers and linkers. This means that SingleStep can be used to
debug code translated with PortAsm/68K for ColdFire,
PortAsm/68K for PowerPC, and PortAsm/86 for PowerPC.

 Microtec® Development Tools
The Microtec family of tools from
Mentor
Graphics Corporation includes compilers, assemblers, linkers, and
the XRAY® debugging and development environment, targeting a wide
range of embedded processor architectures.
MicroAPL's PortAsm/68K translators accept 680x0 source code
in Microtec format. PortAsm/68K for ColdFire and
CF68KLib are compatible with the Microtec ColdFire tools and
ASMCF assembler. PortAsm/68K for PowerPC and Mimic/68K
can be used in conjunction with XRAY for PowerPC to provide an
integrated development, code translation and source-level debugging
environment.
MicroAPL Ltd is a member of the Microtec Embedded Solutions
Partners program.
Other supported toolsets
In addition to the above, our PortAsm, Mimic/68K and
CF68KLib porting products have also been tested in conjunction
with the following embedded development tools:
- Compiler, assembler, and linker from
MQX Embedded (Metaware) (PowerPC)
- Tasking
Inc: Development Environment and CrossView debugger (PowerPC)
- IBM
PowerPC/POWER tools
- Gnu
compiler, assembler, linker and debugger (PowerPC, ColdFire, 80x86 and M·CORE)
