uM-FPU V3 IDE

The uM-FPU V3 IDE (Integrated Development Environment) provides a set of easy-to-use tools for developing applications using the uM-FPU V3 floating point coprocessor. The IDE runs on Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7 and provides support for compiling, debugging, and programming the uM-FPU V3 floating point coprocessor.
