Floating-point library licenced for company's compiler toolchain Segger Microcontroller has announced that Microchip Technology has licensed its optimised floating-point library, emFloat, for their XC32 V4.0 compiler toolchain and Arm Cortex-M devices. emFloat is a total, fully optimised and verified floating-point library for embedded systems. The arithmetic routines are hand-coded in assembly language and optimised for small code size and improved execution speed. “We found that emFloat provides our clients with the best floating-point package available in terms of code speed and size. We are pleased to announce that it will be included with the next release of our MPLAB XC32++ compilers,” says Rodger Richey, senior director of Global Development Systems for Microchip.
