Item: Swordfish - Single License (1 x USB key)
Part Number: SWF1
Price: $149.95

Item: Swordfish - Dual License (2 x USB keys)
Part Number: SWF2
Price: $189.95

Single License - The compiler comes supplied with a single USB key. You can install the compiler on any number of machines.

Dual License - The compiler comes supplied with two USB keys. You can install the compiler on any number of machines. The second key can be considered your insurance policy. If you lose a key, you can still continue to use the compiler. You won't have to buy another license. Alternatively, use one key at home and one at work. Also ideal for small development teams who may want to run two versions of the compiler at the same time. A very flexible licensing option.

Introduction

Swordfish is a highly structured, modular compiler for the PIC18 family of PIC^® microcontrollers. Swordfish is a true compiler that generates optimised, stand alone code which can be programmed directly into your microcontroller. Extensive library support is provided with full source code, some of which include LCD, GLCD, EEPROM, ADC, software and hardware SPI, software and hardware I2C, software UART, USART, string manipulation and math libraries. Support for strings, arrays, structures, boolean, bit, unsigned and signed 8, 16 and 32 bit ordinal types and 32 bit floating point is also provided. Swordfish is supplied with a powerful and flexible Integrated Development Environment (IDE) which includes an advanced code explorer, full syntax highlighting, third party programmer integration, serial communicator and integrated boot loader application. Just a single mouse click, or key press, will compile, assemble and program your project into the target microcontroller.

The Structured Approach

Swordfish enables you to structure a program using subroutines and functions. Each subroutine or function can have its own local declarations consisting of constants, structures and variables. Procedural programming is a better choice than simple sequential or unstructured programming, especially in situations which involve moderate complexity or require significant ease of maintainability.

The Modular Approach

In large and complex programs, modularity is essential. Swordfish enables you to group commonly used subroutines, functions, constants, structures and variables into a single entity called a module. Scoping is an essential part in keeping a program modular and Swordfish allows all module declarations to be defined as either private or public. The separation of private and public parts of a module is often referred to as encapsulation, or information hiding, and enables you to create modules that are both reusable and robust.

The Special Edition (SE) version of Swordfish is a free, fully functional and non expiring version of the compiler.  It includes everything you get with the commercial version, including the full list of supported microcontrollers and library source code.  The compiler is only constrained in terms of the amount of RAM available during compilation.
