Dynamic C provides extensions to the C language (such as shared and protected vari-
ables, costatements and cofunctions) that support real-world embedded system devel-
opment. Interrupt service routines may be written in C. Dynamic C supports
cooperative and preemptive multi-tasking.
•
Dynamic C comes with many function libraries, all in source code. These libraries sup-
port real-time programming, machine level I/O, and provide standard string and math
functions.
•
Dynamic C compiles directly to memory. Functions and libraries are compiled and
linked and downloaded on-the-fly. On a fast PC, Dynamic C can load 30,000 bytes of
code in 5 seconds at a baud rate of 115,200 bps.
