If you ever have worked with a chipmakers "proprietary" tools you REALLY get to appreciate multisource. Had the '51 not been multisourced we would not have had Keil, Raisonance, HiTech, SDCC, IAR etc to choose from. Sasha Jevtic said:
I don't think, however, that the multisource nature of the 8051 directly created this situation. I disagree entirely. Multisource most certainly is the reason! Similarly for ARM. All you need is access to the instruction set for third party tools to be made. There is far, far more to making a decent toolset that just access to the instruction set! It takes a great deal of investment to build & support reliable, usable, dependable, standards-compliant, efficient, effective, industrial quality Tools. That is why the tool makers are reluctant to support single-source processors. |
