SDCC is a Freeware, retargettable, optimizing ANSI - C compiler that targets the Intel 8051, Maxim 80DS390 and the Zilog Z80 based MCUs. Work is in progress on supporting the Motorola 68HC08 as well as Microchip PIC16 and PIC18 series. The entire source code for the compiler is distributed under GPL. Some of the features include: * ASXXXX and ASLINK, a Freeware, retargettable assembler and linker. * extensive MCU specific language extensions, allowing effective use of the underlying hardware. * a host of standard optimizations such as global sub expression elimination, loop optimizations (loop invariant, strength reduction of induction variables and loop reversing ), constant folding and propagation, copy propagation, dead code elimination and jump tables for 'switch' statements. * MCU specific optimisations, including a global register allocator. * adaptable MCU specific backend that should be well suited for other 8 bit MCUs * independent rule based peep hole optimizer. * a full range of data types: char (8 bits, 1 byte), short (16 bits, 2 bytes), int (16 bits, 2 bytes), long (32 bit, 4 bytes) and float (4 byte IEEE). * the ability to add inline assembler code anywhere in a function. * the ability to report on the complexity of a function to help decide what should be re-written in assembler. * a good selection of automated regression tests. SDCC also comes with the source level debugger SDCDB, using the current version of Daniel's s51 simulator. (Currently not available on Win32 platforms). SDCC was written by Sandeep Dutta and released under a GPL license. Since its initial release there have been numerous bug fixes and improvements. As of December 1999, the code was moved to SourceForge where all the "users turned developers" can access the same source tree. SDCC is constantly being updated with all the users' and developers' input....Go

z88dk is a z80 C cross compiler supplied with an assembler/linker and a set of libraries implementing the C standard library for a number of different z80 based machines. The name z88dk originates from the time when the project was founded and targetted only the Cambridge z88 portable....Go

The purpose of this page and its sub pages about members of Z80 family (and close relatives) is to collect and share information and good ideas. I know there are lots of people out there, who have developed some good utilities and hardware solutions. Now we all can share this infomation. This page contain docs, FAQs, source code, (cross-)assemblers, (cross-)compilers, utilities, etc. as well as links to other Z80 relevant stuff....Go

The purpose of the Wishbone Z80 development is to provide a “low-end engine” (written in verilog) that could logically interface with many of the low-end verilog peripherals available to the community, while providing sufficient “horsepower” to be used effectively with the more interesting “high end” peripherals....Go

ZSock is a work-in-progress TCP/IP stack for the Cambridge z88 portable. The stack itself is written almost entirely in C and was developed using z88dk - the z88 Development Kit. Zsock is supplied in the form of an application which is also a package (A package is the z88 equivalent of shared libraries or dlls) which permits you to be able to write network aware applications with the minimum of hassle. Included within the ZSock archive is an example user application and also a daemon allowing file transfer....Go
