The C166 toolset offers substantial performance gains over traditional C166 development tools - initial benchmarking of the Tasking VX-toolset for the C166/ST10 microcontroller family indicates that it provides an average improvement of 45% in code compression and 24% in code speed optimisation.
This high performance is enabled by next-generation 'Viper' C compiler technology.
Altium's new Tasking VX-toolset for C166/ST10 also offers a new debugger that provides full support for multi-core application development, plus toolset integration into the popular Eclipse platform as an Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
The VX-toolset gives the user all the necessary development tools available within one state-of-the-art and industry-standard IDE, with the option to plug-in additional modules from third parties.

Altium's new Tasking VX-toolset for C166 and ST10 supporst all popular Infineon Technologies C166/XC166 and STMicroelectronics ST10/Super10 derivatives as before, but it is also ready to support new family members when they become available.
Devices with an on-board multiply-accumulate coprocessor (MAC) will also benefit from the new compiler through code-generation from C source level - a unique feature for this class of compiler.
Altium's Tasking VX-toolset for C166 and ST10 toolset is a complete, integrated embedded software development toolset.
For existing Tasking C166/ST10 users wanting to upgrade to the new VX-compiler toolset, a conversion utility and special upgrade pricing is available from Direct Insight.
