RTSC/XDCtools Overview

RTSC is a C-based programming model for developing, delivering, and deploying Real-Time Software Components targeted for diverse embedded platforms. As an overarching objective, RTSC takes C programming to an entirely new level -- one suitable for producing and consuming software components, comparable to contemporary programming languages like Java and C#, but without sacrificing overall system performance through additional runtime overhead. In short, RTSC promises higher-level programming and higher levels of performance.

The XDCtools product -- which lies at the heart of the RTSC initiative -- comprises foundational tooling and runtime elements that enable others to produce and consume C-based software components suitable for deployment in real-time embedded systems. Working hand-in-hand with any ANSI-standard C compiler, XDCtools addresses the entire gamut of the component life-cycle -- from specification and packaging on behalf of the component producer through to configuration and analysis on behalf of the component consumer.

Already used extensively within other SDO products for several years (most notably, Codec Engine as well as the new BIOSv6), efforts are currently underway to "open-source" XDCtools through the Eclipse community.
