Welcome To The Iju Tool Set Home Page!

(Generously hosted by )

Important Announcement:  As of September 2001, the SourceForge CVS archives are no longer being used.  I (Dave Ashley) have returned to school to pursue a Ph.D., and I've placed the CVS archives on a server at the university so I can access them more conveniently.  This means that the book and the tool set may be somewhat different than what is here on SourceForge.  The archives will be moved back to SourceForge after I complete my studies (as late as 2006 or 2007).

All versions of the tool set available for download here are fully functional.  Newer versions will be posted here for download, but the CVS archives will not be up to date.  This should not be a practical problem if you need the source code, because .ZIP files containing the source code are among the available downloads.  It is only the CVS archives that will be stagnant.

Please feel free to contact me at DTASHLEY@AOL.COM with any questions or concerns.

Best regards, Dave Ashley.

Gratuitous Search Engine Link:  Dave maintains a server at Wayne State University, and has had a little bit of trouble getting it listed on search engines.  The link in the previous sentence should be enough to get it crawled, hopefully (since this page is crawled by search engines).

What This Tool Set Is

The Iju Tool Set (also sometimes called IjuTools) includes:

• Two statically linked versions of Tcl/Tk (similar to Tclsh and Wish) with extensions (additional Tcl commands) for microcontroller work, especially microcontroller product builds, with source code.
• Additional small utilites (with source code).
• URLs which are useful for microcontroller work.
• Technical papers, articles, and standards to which copyright or permission to distribute could be obtained (with source code where obtainable).
• A book in progress (title:  A Practitioner's Guide To The Design And Development Of Microcontroller Software) (with LaTeX source code).

At the present time, this tool set is for Windows platforms only (Windows '95, '98, ME, NT, and 2000).  The installations are prepared using InstallShield Express, and the source code is compressed into .ZIP files using WinZip.

Important SourceForge Links:

• File Download Page (This is where to download the tool set and source code.  The current version of the tool set is v1.05.)
• Summary Page
• Statistics Page (how many times the project's home page has been visited, and how many downloads have been performed).
