C40 Tartan Ada Compiler

C40 Tartan Ada Compiler

[daniel r montz]

My project is just about to enter the coding phase using
the Tartan Ada compiler (v5.1) for the TI TMS320C40 
processor.  Does anyone have any words of wisdom before
we begin?  Any comment is appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan Montz (Dan-Montz@ti.com)

It's probably painfully obvious, but read the user guides. Tartan has
a section in the 5.x guides on writing efficient code that's worth a
look, in particular.

Maybe TI didn't get the manuals when they bought the company ;)

What really surprises me is that Dan would go outside of TI to
get this information. I would assume that TI, even DSEG, would
be loaded with this info.

I suspect you are confused.  The above mentioned Tartan Ada compiler
probably DOES run on several platforms.  When Daniel says it is for the
TI TMS320C40, he most likely means that this is a CROSS-compiler
targeted for that processor only.  In other words, the object code
generated by the Tartan Ada compiler will only run on that processor.

Just wanted to clear up that confusion.
