MicroUnity software development environment

To achieve its objectives, the MicroUnity mediaprocessor requires a software development environment which allows development at high levels of abstraction, yet provides access to the high-performance processor resources where necessary. The components of this environment include a symbolic development front-end for mathematical algorithms, an optimizing C compiler, a fast, cycle-accurate simulator source debugger, performance analysis tools, operating systems, and libraries. In this paper, we describe these components, as well as some of our future plans for them.
