TASKING GTM Com­pil­er

Well, here we are at the final webi­nar in our series of seven. Thus far, I’ve shown you our tools that can help you devel­op qual­i­ty and safe embed­ded soft­ware for Infi­neon Tri­Core fam­i­ly proces­sors. This tool is not specif­i­cal­ly for the Tri­Core.

I’m sure you know that the Tri­Core fam­i­ly can include sev­er­al ancil­lary cores such as the HSM, SCR, and PCP.  Anoth­er core is avail­able on the Tri­Core, and also on proces­sors by other man­u­fac­tur­ers as well: the Bosch Gener­ic Timer Mod­ule, or GTM.

Call­ing the GTM a “gener­ic timer mod­ule” is kind of like call­ing the Mona Lisa “A pret­ty good paint­ing”. The GTM is capa­ble of han­dling not just com­mon engine tim­ing gen­er­a­tions, but a whole host of other tasks that can offload the main cores and improve sys­tem per­for­mance. The first two releas­es of the IP were pri­mar­i­ly con­cerned with some pret­ty spe­cif­ic appli­ca­tions, but now with the 3rd release the pos­si­bil­i­ties have expand­ed with the opti­miza­tion to be pro­grammed using C.

The TASKING GTM Com­pil­er, and actu­al­ly the TASKING VX Toolset for GTM (which includes a debug­ger and assem­bler), pro­vides you with the tools to write GTM code in C rather than hand code in assem­bly lan­guage. The result is quick­er writ­ten code that runs as fast as hand-gen­er­at­ed code, and it’s much eas­i­er to get safe­ty cer­ti­fi­ca­tion and to main­tain over time.

And, best of all, our GTM Com­pil­er is stand-alone. You can use it with any proces­sor that incor­po­rates a GTM core.
