- Wide support coverage including over 15 current and vintage target CPU families and approximately 200 variants on multiple host operating systems.
- Widely used and accepted internationally -- universally standardized around the world.
- Adopted as standard development tools by European Space Agency (ESA): International governments acceptance gives open source more credibility.
- Develops the most portable C/C++ code, which promotes maximum reuse of software across all supported CPU families -- saves time and money.
- Support and maintenance services available through Microcross and third party vendors -- GNU X-Tools can be used with confidence that support is available at affordable prices today and in the future.
- Low cost platform for evaluation of embedded software tools across all widely used 16-/32-/64-bit target processor systems: A developer can easily learn one toolsuite and have the knowledge to work with all target CPUs supported by Microcross' GNU X-Tools. No other toolsuite family provides as near a complete, robust solution for multi-host environments and multi-target CPUs.
- Microcross provides validated software tools, documented and packaged for commercial sale -- saves many hours of time and frustration on the learning curve to make a source build. Also, you mitigate the risk of using unsupported binaries (GNU this, GNU that). Get your binaries from a single, trusted source: Microcross.
- Offered for all popular host platforms -- users of Windows Linux can use the common-featured toolsuites.
- Several hundred bug fixes -- Microcross successfully built all target processor tools and ran them through a series of C/C++ benchmark tests to give developers confidence in using the toolsuites.
- GNU X-Tools are extendable -- allows tailoring, customization, and expansion of tools, libraries, debugger, and board support to meet user-specific requirements.
- Product maturity -- GNU X-Tools have the longest recorded use of any toolchain used in commercial industry.
- Open source means you have complete visibility of the tool internals, can make modifications, and can maintain the tools yourself (if you wish) -- tool or vendor obsolescence is eliminated!
