The Cosmic ARM Cortex-M compiler supports the ARM CMSIS (Cortex Microcontroller Software Interface Standard) hardware abstraction layer, DSP libraries and RTX operating system. You can download the CMSIS distribution from the links below. These distributions include Cosmic ports and examples in addition to the standard ARM distribution. Please constact your nearest Cosmic Software office or distributor for a compatible tool suite evaluation.

• Designed for ARM Cortex M code
  The Cosmic Cortex M compiler has been designed to produce efficent code optimized for the Cortex M instruction set. This avoids the complexity and overhead of a more generic ARM compiler and results in excellent performance.
  
• ARM CMSIS Compatible
  The Cosmic Cortex compiler is compatible with ARM Cortex Microcontroller Software Interface Standard (CMSIS).
  
• ANSI and ISO C Compiler
  The Cosmic Cortex compiler follows ANSI and ISO rules and conventions. All code and libraries are optimized specifically for the Cortex processor core. All Cortex derivatives and sub-families are supported.
• Reentrant and Recursive
  With all programming models all code is fully reentrant and recursive using standard ANSI stack frame conventions.
• Memory Models
  CXCortex supports different programming model options to fine tune code optimizations to your application and memory requirements.
• C Support for Short Data and Costants
  Compiler source extensions provide efficient use for frequently used data and constants.
• In-line Assembly
  The compiler provides three convenient methods for adding assembly code inside a C program. Includes an argument passing mechanism.
• Absolute Listings
  Optionally produce relocatable and/or absolute C interspersed with the corresponding Assembly listings.
• IEEE-754 Floating Point
  Supports IEEE single and double precision floating point formats with full ANSI libraries (Source code included, royalty free).
• Moveable Code Feature
  Moveable code feature is designed to make RAM based code like boot loaders and programmers easy to create and maintain. The Linker automatically creates a segment in ROM to store moveable code. Then at run time, use the supplied library function to relocate and copy the moveable code into RAM for execution.
• Check Sum Feature
  Easy to use check sum facility and library (Source included) allow users to quickly implement an efficient check sum on any or all sections. Check sum calculation and insertion is transparently managed by the linker.
• Mixed C and Assembly
  Cosmic tools support mixed C and Assembly applications. Including Assembler support for C #defines and #includes so C and assembly language modules may share common constants and macros.
• Host Independent Formats
  The Cosmic relocatable and absolute object formats are host independent. This allows user's on Windows and Linux to share objects for linking and debugging.
• ELF/DWARF Debug Support
  The Cosmic compiler suite supports the ELF DWARF 2.0 standard debug formats used by many popular emulators and logic analyzers.
• Flexible Compiler Interface
  Cosmic compilers are designed to be powerful and flexible so they can be used with virtually any environment. Use Cosmic's own IDEA interface or use your favorite editor, make utility and/or source code control system - It's Your Choice!!
