Integrated Development Environment
All Cosmic C Cross Compilers for Windows include IDEA - Cosmic's own integrated development environment which is preconfigured for the 68HC08/HCS08 family of processors. IDEA is designed specifically for developing embedded applications with Cosmic compilers. IDEA integrates an editor, project manager, graphical smart build/make facility, program analyzer, link file generator, documentation manager and ZAP debugger into one easy to use environment running under Windows 7, XP and compatible.

Third Party IDE Integration
Most Cosmic compilers can be easily integrated in third party IDEs such as Borland Codewright and RistanCase Development Assistant for C.

Compiler
The C Compiler package includes: an integrated development environment with optimizing ANSI-C cross compiler, macro assembler, linker, librarian, hex file generator, object format converters, debugging support utilities, run-time library source code, and a multi-pass compiler command driver. The compiler also supports non-intrusive C source-level debugging with Cosmic's line of ZAP debuggers.

68HC08/HCS08 specific features include:
- HC08 and HCS08 Cores
The Cosmic 68HC08 / HCS08 compiler generates highly efficient code for both the 68HC08 and the next generation HCS08 families of microcontrollers.
- ANSI and ISO C Compiler
The Cosmic 68HC08 / HCS08 compiler follows ANSI and ISO rules and conventions. All code and libraries are optimized specifically for the 68HC08 / HCS08 processor cores.
- Reentrant and Recursive
All code is fully reentrant and recursive using standard ANSI stack frame conventions.
- C Support for Zero Page
Compiler source extensions provide efficient use of the 68HC08 / HCS08 direct addressing mode and single byte pointers
- In-line Assembly
The compiler provides three convenient methods for adding assembly code inside a C program. Includes an argument passing mechanism.
- IEEE-754 Floating Point
Supports IEEE single floating point formats with full ANSI libraries (Source code included).
- Absolute Listings
Optionally produce relocatable and/or absolute C interspersed with the corresponding Assembly listings.
- Moveable Code Feature
Moveable code feature is designed to make RAM based code like bootloaders 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 locate and copy the moveable code into RAM at any time for execution.
- Automated Check Sums
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 PC, SUN and HP to share objects for linking and debugging.
- IEEE-695 and ELF/DWARF Debug Support
The Cosmic compiler suite supports the IEEE and ELF DWARF standard debug formats used by many popular emulators and logic analyzers.
- In-Circuit Emulator Compatibility
Cosmic's 68HC08 / HCS08 compiler is compatible with emulators from NXP, I-System and Lauterbach.
- 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!!
- OS Compatibility
Cosmic HC08 / HCS08 compiler is compatible with most HC08 / HCS08 operating systems and real-time kernels including specific ports from CMX, MicroC/OS-II and OSEK vendors.
- Graphical Programming Environments
Cosmic HC08/HCS08 Compiler is fully compatible with I-Logix's Rhapsody in C graphical programming environment. Rhapsody in C provides software
synthesis, melding the graphical model and design parameters to generate production-quality,
highly efficient and readable code, small enough to fit on 8- and 16-bit microcontrollers.
- OSEK/VDX Certified
OSEK/VDX is an Automotive consortium aiming at an industry standard for an open-ended architecture for distributed control units in vehicles. OSEK is an abreviation for a German term which translates to "Open systems and the corresponding interfaces for automotive electronics". VDX is an abreviation for Vehicle Distributed eXecutive.
Cosmic HC08 / HCS08 compiler is OSEK/VDX Certified with operating systems from 3SOFT, and LiveDevices Limited.
