Looking for C166/C167 c / asm

[Erwin Torbeyns]

Hi,
I'm looking for a freeware/shareware/low-cost C compiler and/or assembler
for Siemens' C166 and/or C167 microcontrollers.
Or does anyone know a commercial development package for less then 600 US
dollar ?

Does anyone have any experience (good?/bad?) on using these uC's for
time-critical embedded systems?

Many thanks.

Erwin,
please contact Rigel for a low cost tool package.

Rigel also offers an evaluation board for the C167.

The more sophisticated (and much more expensive) tools
http://www.tasking.com/products/80C166/
and
http://www.keil.com/c166/index.html
You can download an evaluation versions with restricted code size.

A GNU C-compiler (max. 64KByte code) can be downloaded here:
http://www.hightec-rt.com/

Hope this helps
You will have a lot of fun with this microcontroller family

I have some experience using the C166 in time-critical real time systems. I
find it to be an excellent uC, with very good performance. I have only used
the Tasking C compiler, which is OK. From what I've heard, Keil has better
performance though.

I am using the HighTec development system for the 80C166/167 for almost
four years now. The compiler is based on the GNU C/C++ and the
performance is o.k.. Floating point is included but *slow*. The code
is romable, I am using the flash of the ST10 in most cases. Best thing
is the inline assembler. Interrupts are directly accessible.
