Green Hills Software and Microchip Technology have announced that Green Hills Software’s software development product suite, including the MULTI® integrated development environment, Green Hills compilers, and Green Hills Probe, are now available for Microchip’s PIC32 family of microcontrollers (MCUs). The PIC32, based on the MIPS® M4K™ core, is Microchip’s first 32-bit MCU family.

“We welcome Green Hills Software into the Microchip development tools program,” commented Patrick Johnson, director of Microchip’s High-Performance Microcontroller Division. “Green Hills Software’s embedded development solutions are recognized industry-wide as leading edge, and its MULTI integrated development environment enables PIC32 MCU software developers to maximize performance while minimizing code size, development and product unit costs.”

The Green Hills solution for Microchip’s PIC32 family consists of the following components:

• MULTI integrated development environment – providing the most comprehensive DSO tool set for embedded software developers
  
• Green Hills MIPS compilers – generating the fastest and smallest code in the industry
  
• DoubleCheck™ integrated static analysis tool – industry-leading accuracy and execution speed for software defect detection and prevention
  
• Green Hills Probe – providing reliable and efficient debugging, using the PIC32 EJTAG debug port

“While MIPS cores have been traditionally aimed at high-end processor designs, Microchip has developed a MIPS-based microcontroller family that brings high performance to embedded applications requiring minimum footprint, power and cost,” commented David Kleidermacher, chief technology officer, Green Hills Software.

“We are pleased to provide Green Hills Software compilers, performance analysis tools, and the complete MULTI tool suite, which are all optimized for the PIC32 family to help realize this vision of top-end performance efficiency.”
