(Additional features, debugger information, etc. listed below)
uses Large Memory Model (LMM) to bypass 2K byte limits of Cog code
typically 5 to 10 times faster than Spin
access Propeller multiprocessing and other Propeller specific features in C
write native assembly code and launch it in another Cog for high performance driver
built-in terminal
support for Parallax's Propellent DLL for program downloading
Include libraries such as ASyncIO, VGA Text, etc.

Note: debugger support (listed above) is planned but is currently not yet available at this time.

STANDARD: ANSI C compiler for Propeller LMM code generation. IDE with editor, project manager and code browser. Supports programs as large as Hub RAM.

There is currently no C source level debugger. We are investigating our options.
You can use printf or toggling LEDs etc., or use the interspersed C and asm listing to help you understand the code.

Hardware USB or Parallel Licensing Dongle (available from ImageCraft)
- Use a hardware device to manage your license instead of the default node lock software license. Allows you to use the compiler on more than one machine or safely reformat your system without software license replacement.
