FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tryouts on Web for Visual X-Tools™ SuperH and V85x Toolsuites

ATLANTA, GA  -- July 26, 2004 -- Microcross released Visual X-Tools Open Source development tools for the SuperH and V85x microprocessor families -- open source, royalty-free, ready-to-run™. Visual X-Tools, now in its third release over four years, is setting the benchmark for quality, low-cost development tools for embedded development projects. The core GNU tools are based on stable releases that are debugged and patched by Microcross; each toolsuite comes with GCC (C/C++ compilers), LD linker, AR archiver, AS assembler, binary utilities, and Visual GDB debugger.

Microcross' toolsuites also come with an award winning integrated development environment, which is based on Visual SlickEdit®.  A developer can evaluate ARM, MIPS32, PowerPC, SuperH, V85x and XScale toolsuites absolutely risk-free for 30 days. Microcross tryouts are fully functional with code editor, project manager, C/C++ compilers, assembler, linker, Instruction Set Simulator (ISS), librarian, utilities, and  visual GDB debugger.  A developer can use these tools without the actual hardware during the evaluation process using the ISS; therefore, the developer saves time and money while in the evaluation mode. 

Pricing: Single seat licenses are priced at $999 each and include free setup support.  Optional engineering tech support is sold for $1,000 per project for the first year, which includes telephone and email support, GNU X-Tools Training Guide, free upgrades, and access to the Microcross Web Member Support site.
