C166®/XC16x and ST10/Super10 Software Development v8.7

This page describes the TASKING classic C166/ST10 toolset, the world's best sold development toolset for all C166 and ST10 compatible microcontrollers. The first release of this toolset was in 1991, after which it has reached market leading positions in many markets, including automotive and telecom (mobile phones). Still today Altium supports, maintains and improves this toolset, of which many popular older versions are also still available. This toolset is especially recommended for legacy projects.

For new projects, or existing projects developed with C166 compilers from other vendors in a need of additional code performance (density and speed), Altium recommends the new high-performance TASKING VX-toolset for the C166/ST10. More information on the VX-toolset is available on the VX-toolset for C166/ST10 product page.
