Wind River Takes Testing to the Floor


Ships new debugging tools for manufacturing, production environments

By P. J. Connolly
August 15, 2007 — 
July may have been the month of debugging for Wind River Systems, which updated one of its lab tools while releasing a new package designed to bring first-class debugging tools to manufacturing and production environments.

On July 25, the company released Wind River Lab Diagnostics 2.1, adding support for Wind River Linux 1.5 on Intel and PowerPC, and VxWorks 6.x on MIPS and XScale processors. The initial release, version 2.0, supported Wind River Linux 1.4 and VxWorks 6.x on most Intel and PowerPC processors, as well as VxWorks 5.5.1 on PowerPC.

Lab Diagnostics 2.1 adds kernel-level instrumentation, with the aim of giving developers and QA teams the ability to use the tool’s Sensorpoints feature and examine how code is running. The new release also allows users to package a variety of Sensorpoint options into a single executable, allowing the development of tests for complex systems and large builds. The company claims that tests running with the new Sensorpoint scripting options can execute up to a thousand times faster than previous methods.

Wind River Systems also announced the release of production-oriented test tools, in the new Wind River On-Chip Debugging for Manufacturing and Test, on July 23. The package is a combination of the company’s on-chip debugging tools with manufacturing and test tooling that offers driver-based integration with National Instruments’ LabView platform and development environment, and is designed to allow diagnostics and defect reduction on the production floor.

The new production tool package includes an updated version of Wind River’s On-Chip Debugging Utility that adds the ability to selectively extract data from device memory instead of having to perform offline scans of memory dumps, and also adds the ability to create custom applications by using LabView’s “virtual instruments” feature.

On-Chip Debugging for Manufacturing and Test also includes the company’s ICE and Probe emulators, and works with a number of processors, including those from Broadcom, Freescale, Intel and P.A. Semi.
