SIMPL+ Cross Compiler 1.2

SIMPL+ Cross Compiler is a software tool developed by Crestron Electronics Inc. It is used to convert SIMPL programs written in SIMPL+ language into a SIMPL Windows module that can be run on Crestron control systems.

SIMPL+ is a high-level programming language developed by Crestron Electronics Inc. It allows programmers to extend the functionality of SIMPL Windows, the programming software for Crestron control systems, by writing custom modules using C-like syntax.

The SIMPL+ Cross Compiler takes SIMPL+ source code files and performs a series of transformations and optimizations to generate a compiled SIMPL Windows module that can be loaded onto a control system. It handles tasks such as parsing, type checking, code generation, and linking.

Using SIMPL+ Cross Compiler allows developers to leverage the power of C-like programming language features and libraries while developing custom modules for Crestron control systems. It provides better performance, memory management, and code reuse compared to traditional SIMPL programming.

Yes, Crestron provides the SIMPL+ Cross Compiler as a free software tool for its customers and authorized dealers. It can be downloaded from the official Crestron website along with the necessary documentation and examples.

SIMPL+ Cross Compiler runs on Windows operating systems (Windows 7 or later). It requires a compatible version of Microsoft Visual Studio specially configured for SIMPL+. Additionally, the necessary Crestron development tools and libraries should be installed.

Yes, SIMPL+ Cross Compiler is compatible with all Crestron control systems that support SIMPL Windows programming. It can generate modules that can be loaded on controllers such as the AV3, PRO3, MC3, and more.

While SIMPL+ Cross Compiler provides extended capabilities for developing custom modules, it requires knowledge of C-like programming and understanding of specific Crestron platform APIs. Developers should be aware of platform architecture and compatibility considerations.

Crestron provides comprehensive documentation, including user guides and programming reference manuals, on their official website. It also offers training courses and community forums where developers can find additional support and examples.

Yes, once you have compiled a SIMPL+ module using the cross compiler, you can distribute it along with your Crestron control system installation. The generated module can be loaded onto appropriate controllers to provide enhanced functionality.
