Avocet Systems : The Complete Solution for Embedded Systems Development Software
Our Company

Introduction


Since our inception in 1979 until the fairly recent past
Avocet Systems was an industry leader in the field of high-performance development tools. Avocet has become known as a pioneer in a wide range of embedded tools development, from macro assemblers and C compilers, to simulators, power analysis tools, and AvSYS, a processor-independent real-time operating system (RTOS). In 1997 Avocet purchased 2500AD Software and continues to develop and support this popular line of compilers, assemblers, and simulators. Avocet Systems continued to grow and expand steadily. In 1998 Avocet added another dimension to its product line with the acquisition of Huntsville Microsystems Inc. This brought in the HMI-200 in-circuit emulator line, an old design but nevertheless quite popular. The Huntsville Background Mode Debuggers were also popular, providing a real-time low cost debugging and Flash programming

With the loss of key hardware development and support personnel and other factors, Avocet Systems has retrenched in recent years, no longer producing hardware, but continuing only with software.
