Overview
The C programming language has become one
of
the
dominant
languages
for
high-level graphics software. Thus, C
is
a logical choice
for
systems, periph-
eral, and applications software developers using the
TMS34010
Graphics
System Processor. GSP
C,
a compiler implementation for the TMS3401 0, has
been created
to
allow
developers
to
tap this software base
for
high-
performance
TMS34010
systems. GSP C accepts standard Kernighan and
Ritchie
C source code and produces
TMS34010
assembly language source
code.
The
TMS3401 0 C Compiler Package consists
of
a C Preprocessor, a Parser,
and a
Code Generator,
as
well
as
Run-Time Support and Floating Point Li-
braries. The
TMS3401 0 Assembly Language Package supports the assembly,
archiving,-
and linking
of
compiler-generated software. The resulting execut-
able code can be run on a TMS3401 0 target system. Target systems can
in-
clude software simulators, software development boards, Texas Instruments
XDS
(Extended Development Systems) units,
or
custom TMS3401 0 systems.
