Eclipse, Multicore Emphasized at ESC

With former Vice President Al Gore delivering the keynote, and Intel unveiling its new custom-designed Orange County Chopper, one might be forgiven for thinking that this year’s Silicon Valley edition of the Embedded Systems Conference was all about glitz. But there was plenty of steak to go with the sizzle, as announcements in the areas of development tools, hardware components and supporting technology added up to plenty for the attendees to feast upon.
AdaCore announced the availability of GNATbench 2.0, an update to the Eclipse-based plug-in that adds advanced Ada language features and an integrated GNAT Pro Ada tool set to Eclipse-based development environments. GNATbench 2.0 includes new project wizards, syntax highlighting in the project file editor, a new toolbar for creating Ada elements such as files and projects, and the means to automatically generate package bodies from package declarations. For improved performance, Ada-specific semantic analysis is now handled by an Eclipse shared library, replacing a background process that invoked the GNAT Programming Studio.
Also on the Ada front, Aonix announced that it was leading an initiative to create an Ada Development Toolkit (ADT) for Eclipse, and offered its AonixADT to the Eclipse Foundation as the core baseline technology for the project. The company also released the source code for AonixADT, which includes an Ada-sensitive editor, build and debugger interfaces, and project-aware features for program unit manipulation.
Digi International introduced what it called the first Ethernet networking kit for Microsoft’s .NET Micro Framework. The Digi Connect ME JumpStart Kit is aimed at applications such as building and industrial automation, medical and point-of-sale systems. It includes the DigiConnect ME embedded module, a development/carrier board, and sample code with documentation.
Eridon announced the release of its UnifiedLogic development framework, which the company claims can allow device developers to move from concept to working prototype in as little as a day. The framework is a family of development tools, function-oriented protoyping boards called uCards, and operating system software.
