"The tool chain for the Epics7B architecture has been developed by the company Target Compiler Technologies in Belgium and features the following tools: C-compiler, assembler/disassembler, linker, instruction set simulator.
The high efficiency of the C-compiler allows for a good time to market performance of the software development. The way the instruction set simulator API interfaces to the outside world also allows to use the graphical user interface for silicon debugging. Furthermore it allows for the definition of a multi core application that can be simulated using several simulators, communicating to each other as defined by the Epics7B tile concept."
