ARC's revenue exceeds expectations
ARC International has announced its unaudited financial results for the full year ended 31st December 2006
ARC International has developed a highly optimised suite of software development tools for the ARM9 processor. The suite, called the MetaDeveloper, includes ARC's MetaWare C/C++ compiler, SeeCode debugger, instruction set simulator, assembler, linker, profiler, RTOS and networking application prototyping, IDE and Precise/MQX RTOS and Precise/RTCS TCP/IP networking stacks.
Using ARC's unified development tools allows developers using the ARM9 processor to eliminate the time and risk of working with multiple vendors, thus enabling them to bring products to market more quickly.
"Faultless tool integration and a single source for support are vital to a software design project", said Mike Gulett, President and CEO of ARC International.
"ARC is uniquely positioned to offer the industry's most comprehensive, yet non-royalty package because we don't rely on outside sources to supply parts of our solution.
Others may have either the RTOS or the debugging tools, or the networking components.
Only ARC can supply everything and guarantee they will work together beyond the initial purchase date".

The MetaWare C/C++ compiler provides developers with complete control over the compiler's language enforcement, code generation and optimisation to achieve the most compact code size and optimise performance for ARM-based designs.
When using ARC's SeeCode debugger, developers are presented with the same user interface either connecting to ARC's ARM-instruction set simulator or real target hardware via popular JTAG emulators.
It is fully OS-aware for a variety of popular real-time operating systems, with integrated TCP/IP network stack aware debugging capability.
The Precise/MQX RTOS is a small, scalable and portable real time operating system (RTOS), which delivers fast, deterministic performance and continuous reliable operation to meet the critical needs of the embedded applications.
It is delivered with full source code and licensed royalty-free.
MQX supports multitasking, priority-based pre-emptive and round-robin scheduling, memory management, run-time error detection, message passing, semaphores, performance measurement and self-testing and auditing.
ARC's Precise/RTCS is a compact, high-performance, portable embedded TCP/IP networking stack.
RTCS includes essential networking functions and offers a wide variety of optional components including: HTTP, SNMPv3, POP3, SMTP, IPSec, PPPoE, OSPF, BGP4 and NAT.
ARC's system design and performance tools are part of the integrated development tool suite.
The project-management toolkit allows developers to set up and start the following tools: the Precise/EDS Client debugger-independent tool retrieves task-aware debugging information from an embedded application while the application is running; the Precise/Design tool is a rapid-prototyping tool which generates the application source code that defines the data structures, task, and application-layer interface to MQX and the RTCS embedded Internet stack; and the Precise/Performance tool presents graphical views of task execution data that has been captured during the execution of an application design with the MQX RTOS.
