Automated Endian Conversion Services
Celestech
provides automated big endian to little endian (e.g. Sun to Intel) software conversion services.
- Celestech
can help you convert your application software from your old big endian hardware (Sun SPARC, Motorola PowerPC, 68000)
to a new little endian (x86 – Intel and others)
platform at a very modest price.
- At the same time, this process avoids the
labor-intensive, error-inducing process of finding and fixing all the
places where the platform endianness matters in
your code.
There is an alternative to doing endian conversion manually.
Celestech offers endian conversion services that use an automated approach
that leverages tools licensed and supported from a major player in the computer
industry.
 Our
service provides an automated means of converting code written specifically for
a big endian platform to code that will run on a little
endian platform.
Your source code remains virtually unchanged and you are supplied with little
endian executables created from your big endian codebase. Our
approach saves time and money but more importantly, does not introduce the
errors that are inevitable with a manual conversion. The automatically generated code is quickly
created, efficient, well formatted and easy to read. Optionally, additional code optimization can
be performed if required.
This service is available for
C/C++ code written for big endian computers (Sun
SPARC, PowerPC, 68000) and targeting Intel platforms. We support many Linux target operating
environments including MontaVista Linux, Red Hat, and
other similar platforms.
How it works:
- Provide
your project requirements, source code and test data sets to Celestech
and we can provide you with a quotation for a turn-key conversion of your
application.
- Approach
2 – Automated Conversion Assistance for your Development Team
- Your
development team does some of the up-front work to prepare your C/C++
code. Primarily this means
compiling your code against the Intel C/C++ complier (see http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/c-compilers/)
- Your
C/C++ software source code is processed and compiled by Celestech using
our big-to-little endian automated conversion
toolkit.
- This
generates executables for little endian
(Intel/x86/x64) platforms. We
furnish to you the executable objects along with an archive of the other
files that would be needed to re-run the conversion process should
additional modifications be needed later.
- You
load these executables onto your new Intel computer and you are ready to
go.
