Texas Instrument Announcement

ADA 95 Now Available for Texas Instruments Military SMJ320C6000 DSP Family DALLAS (May 5, 1999) -- Expanding the software platform for its flagship digital signal processors (DSPs), Texas Instruments announced the availability of the Ada 95 programming language for the SMJ320C6000 platform of DSPs. The new software suite is being made available from a third party, Irvine Compiler Corporation (ICC) of Irvine, California. Military contractors and commercial projects requiring safety critical code are expected to utilize these new tools to couple the robustness of the Ada programming language with the computing power of SMJ320C6201, fixed point, and SMJ320C6701, floating point, digital signal processors.

Irvine Compiler has provided Ada programming solutions for embedded applications since 1981. ICC Ada has been successfully used for a number of Army, Navy, Air Force, and commercial avionics applications. The ICC Ada 95 technology is based upon ICC's mature Ada 83 technology and provides a straightforward migration path from Ada 83 to Ada 95. Customers can use the same compiler with Ada 83 or Ada 95 code. In June of 1997, ten different ICC Ada 95 compilers were validated using ACVC suite 2.0.1, which allowed partial Ada 95 implementations. Additional Ada 95 features are being added incrementally to the compiler.

Many strategic military programs prefer the Ada programming language allowing for reuse of thousands of lines of proven code. This investment in programming is so significant that many times the selection of new processors depends upon the availability of a Ada compiler. Many contractors have a solid group of Ada programmers that can fully utilize the safety and security features of the language that are not available in any other popular language. Even with the absence on the Ada mandate as it once existed, there are clear benefits to have access to this language.

Texas Instruments has provided Ada programming capability for DSPs via third parties beginning with the SMJ320C30 and SMJ320C40. This latest engagement will allow users to program the newest and most powerful of the TI DSPs with the proven Ada language. The software will be hosted on SUN and PC/NT platforms targeted for use with the SMJ320C6201 and SMJ320C6701 digital signal processors. Beta versions of the Ada software are currently available with the final product release expected 3Q99.
