Nucleus EDGE Embedded Development Environment Supports Eclipse 3.0 Platform    

Posted by: Anonymous - on Tuesday, March 01, 2005 - 08:26 PM
 
Accelerated Technology®, a Mentor Graphicsdivision (Nasdaq: MENT), today announced its Nucleus® EDGE software development environment now supports Eclipse version 3.0, the latest version of the open framework. The Nucleus EDGE software provides developers with a more advanced embedded tool suite that allows them to build, compile, debug and deploy embedded applications more quickly and easily.

The Nucleus EDGE software takes advantage of various new productivity enhancements that the Eclipse 3.0 platform offers. Using the Nucleus EDGE software o­n Eclipse 3.0, developers can benefit from a new, more intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) that provides tutorials and demos to guide them through the development process. “Cheat sheets” are available to help users easily step through new features and plug-ins to the Eclipse framework. New multithreaded enhancements to Eclipse also allow the Nucleus EDGE user interface (UI) to be more responsive, permitting users to interact with the GUI while the Nucleus EDGE software is busy running a background task. This is particularly useful when debugging large applications with multiple cores, as engineers typically focus o­n different parts of their application, concurrently.

“The move to support Eclipse version 3.0 was a remarkably painless exercise for us, but a very important o­ne,” said Robert Day, director of marketing, Accelerated Technology Division, Mentor Graphics. “Providing customers with proven embedded tools o­n the most current, feature-rich, development framework gives them a more tightly integrated, user-friendly environment in which to quickly develop applications.”


"As Eclipse continues to gain traction in the embedded world, it is good to see embedded developers taking advantage of new Eclipse features,” said Mike Milinkovich, Executive Director of the Eclipse Foundation. “We will be working closely with Accelerated Technology and other embedded companies to make sure that features desired by the embedded community get brought into the Eclipse standard offering.”


Comprising years of technology development, the Nucleus EDGE environment provides a suite of plug-ins to Eclipse, the rapidly emerging standard for the embedded systems industry. The Nucleus EDGE environment gives embedded developers tighter tool integration, total control over the quality and stability of their applications, full control of release cycles, shorter learning curves and a common platform with desktop tools.


The Nucleus EDGE software is available for the ARM7, ARM9 and XScale processor cores o­n Windows. The Nucleus EDGE software supports the ARM GNU, RedHat GNU and ARM RealView C and C++ compilers. MinGW, a compiler for Windows, is also provided for use with the host-based debugging feature, giving users basic application prototyping capabilities o­n Windows.


Availability

Licenses for the complete Nucleus EDGE development suite begin at U.S. $3,000 per seat. For more information, please contact Accelerated Technology at 800-468-6853 or info@acceleratedtechnology.com
