An embedded systems developer writes and compiles programs
on a larger computer which can support a C development environment. The
compiler used does not translate to the machine language of the development
computer, it produces a version of the program in the machine language of the 8
bit microcontroller. A compiler that runs on one type of computer and provides
a translation for a different type of computer is called a cross-platform compiler
or cross-compiler.
The object code formats generated by a cross-compiler are
based on the target device. For example, a compiler for the Motorola
MC68HC705C8 could generate an S-record file for its object code.
