The Small Device C Compiler (SDCC) is a free-software, partially retargetable[1]C compiler for 8-bit microcontrollers. It is distributed under the GNU General Public License. The package also contains an assembler, linker, simulator and debugger. As of March 2007, SDCC is the only open-source C compiler for Intel 8051-compatible microcontrollers.[2][3][4][citation needed] In 2011 the compiler was downloaded on average more than 200 times per day.[5]

Supported hosts

Sources, documentation, and binaries are available for Linux (32-bit and 64-bit), macOS (PPC and 64-bit), and Windows (32-bit and 64-bit).

Supported targets

The following include binary compatible derivatives:

  • Intel 8031, 8032, 8051, 8052; Maxim/Dallas DS80C390; C8051
  • Motorola/Freescale/NXP 68HC08 and 68HCS08
  • Padauk PDK14 and PDK15[6]
  • STMicroelectronics STM8
  • Zilog Z80, Z180, eZ80 in Z80 mode; Rabbit Semiconductor 2000, 2000A, 3000, 3000A, 4000; Sharp LR35902 (Game Boy processor); Toshiba TLCS-90; Z80N (ZX Spectrum Next processor).

Work in progress:

  • Microchip PIC16 and PIC18.[7]
  • Padauk PDK13.

Obsolete:

  • AVR microcontrollers use to be a supported target, but was made obsolete by avr-gcc in 2010 (SDCC 3.0.0).
