ImageCraft ICCV7 for M8C will be free!

[richard@imagecraft.com]

Barring unexpected development, the following is good to go.

***
Through an arrangement with Cypress Semiconductor Corporation, ImageCraft ICCV7 for M8C STD is now available free of charge to PSoC Designer users. The compiler is included as part of the PSoC Designer V5 SP4.5 and beyond.

- ICCV7 for M8C incorporates enhancements we have developed since the last official release to Cypress in 2006. The code size is 10-15% better than the previous free compiler available in PSoC Designer 5.0. We expect to continue to add enhancements to support the evolving PSoC devices.

- We expect to release a PRO optimized version by the end of 2009 with code size expected to be 30%-35% better than the previously available free compiler. Exact features and pricing TBD but we expect the price will be in line with our current product pricing range of $300-$549.

- As a good will gesture, we will offer customers who purchased our Cypress compiler licenses in 2009 a discount for the PRO compiler. Details TBD.

- ICCV7 for M8C is fully supported by ImageCraft. Any C related questions should be addressed to us directly at support @imagecraft.com

Eric (the moderator) has changed the title of the previously "PRO compiler forum" to "ImageCraft ICCv7 for M8C." I encourage people to use that forum to discuss matters related to our compilers or email me directly (which is actually preferred for critical compiler specific questions).

Thank you for your support. One key difference between now and then is that we will be directly supporting you folks. I look forward to work with you.

Great news richard! I will try the new version soon. Would you expect any difficulty in using the new ICC w/ PD4.4.?

Thanks
Jim
