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[edit]

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[edit]

The following include binary compatible derivatives:

Work in progress:

Obsolete:

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