Eclipse DSDP gets a boost

By P J Connolly

April 17, 2008 — The Eclipse Foundation’s been working on open-source technologies for embedded and mobile developers for a while, and it expects four new initiatives to advance the state of the art.

They take the form of three projects announced April 15, and the addition of Windows CE capabilities to an existing effort, as part of work on the Eclipse Device Software Development Platform, or DSDP.

First, the Target Management project now works more closely than before with Microsoft’s Windows Embedded CE, allowing developers to access devices through the Eclipse IDE to remotely edit, update and delete files as part of a Windows CE application.

The Device Debugging project is due for its initial release in June as part of Eclipse’s “Ganymede” release train. At its heart is the Debugger Services Framework, which is extensible by design, allowing commercial toolmakers to create advanced debugger integrations. The framework includes a reference implementation by Ericsson of the GDB debug engine.

Another project, Real-Time Software Components, is led by Texas Instruments, and will concentrate on building tools to work with highly resource-constrained devices, including digital signal processors and microcontrollers. RTSC includes a C-based programming model for building applications with C and C++.

The third initiative, the Target Communications Framework, is making use of contributions from organizations including Freescale, Power.org and WindRiver to create a lightweight yet extensible protocol to standardize communication between developer tools and devices themselves. JTAG probes, target agents and target simulators are all expected to benefit from TCF, with the hope that it will make it easier to combine components from multiple vendors in multicore and system-on-a-chip designs.
