GNUPro Toolkit Overview

GNUPro Toolkit provides, in a single coordinated and tested release, some of the best available software development tools. These tools are available for native development (where the same kind of system can run both the tools and the code you develop with them) and for cross-development (where one system, the host, runs the tools to develop software for another system, the target).

Cygnus Solutions has ported GNU tools to over sixty different platforms, integrating all the tools to ensure that they all, collectively, work. Our team of developers uses a regression testing method that checks for problems with a single tool that can impact across all the tools.

We don’t ship GNUPro Toolkit until we know it works.

In this documentation, you'll find details on some of our on our newest developments as well as familiar archival accomplishments.

Our customers are developers of systems that use 32- and 64-bit microcontrollers, as well as the vendors of these microcontrollers.

Cygnus Solutions also benefits from advances in all of the related technologies such as storage (disk, flash, DRAM), display (LCD), Internet/communication protocols, and wireless connectivity.

Collectively, advances in technologies allow ever-greater intelligence to be embedded in traditional embedded systems (telecommunications equipment, automobiles, office equipment), enabling completely new classes of computing devices.

Software tools and software content for these devices must keep pace in order to realize the promise of powerful, distributed, but densely interconnected computing power. The mission of Cygnus Solutions is to benefit from, and enable this vision of “pervasive computing” through our software solutions.
