New on-chip debug tools broaden compiler, processor support
By P. J. Connolly
January 1, 2008 —
Although in some ways the job of developers has grown easier as handheld and mobile devices have become more capable, the tradeoff has been that the complexity can be overwhelming.
In an attempt to address the conundrum, Wind River Systems in December released the latest version of its JTAG embedded device development tool set, Wind River Workbench 3.0 On-Chip Debugging. The update includes support for new processors from ARM, Freescale, Marvell and Texas Instruments.
Workbench On-Chip Debugging now allows developers to examine all aspects of device software running Wind River Linux 2.0. With the 3.0 release, they can debug the kernel as well as user mode applications, and debug real-time applications running on top of the company’s Linux Real Time Core.
Developers for ARM-based systems can now use compilers from ARM and GNU with Workbench 3.0 On-Chip Debugging; the company notes that this allows developers to tailor toolchains to meet the particular needs of a project and optimize their workflow.
New Workbench plug-ins provide an editor, a register and memory viewer and a target manager; the Workbench platform is now aligned with the Eclipse 3.3 release with version 4.0 of the C/C++ development tools.
