Small Device C Compiler

Add article description

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]
