5.3 Compilers

TI provides two sets of compilers

  • TI CLANG Compilers: CLANG based ARM compiler from TI for ARM core
  • TI C6000 Compilers: DSP core compiler from TI

TI Arm Clang Compiler

The tiarmclang compiler is based on the open source LLVM compiler infrastructure and the Clang front-end. tiarmclang compiler uses the TI Linker and C runtime, which provide additional benefits for stability and reduced code size. Benefits of tiarmclang include:

TI C6000 Compiler

The TI C6000 C/C++ Compiler and Assembly Language Tools support development of applications for TI C6000 Digital Signal Processor platforms, including the C66x multi-core, C674x and C64x+ single-core digital signal processors. Salient features of the C6000 are listed below.

  • Supports the C++14 Standard ISO/IEC 14882:2014.
  • Reduced compilation time and memory usage when compiling OpenCL-C kernels.
  • Improved OpenCL-C vector type performance.
Note: User are not mandated by TI to use any specific compiler set. Compiler packages and tools can be selected and used based on user preference from TI or a 3rd party.
