Headline: WIND RIVER SYSTEMS INC - Objectime Limited Partners With Wind River
Systems
======================================================================
ObjecTime Limited and Wind River Systems announced the immediate
availability of major new functionality exclusively for customers of both
Wind River's Tornado(TM) development environment and ObjecTime Developer
5.0. Software developers build graphical models of their design,
automatically load these models onto the target platform then control and
animate them from the development platform to speed development and
simplify debugging.
With ObjecTime Developer and Wind River's Tornado, developers can take
advantage of the same robust modeling environment that has been available
on their development workstations, optimizing the performance of their
systems when deployed on the target platform. ObjecTime Developer's
executable modeling capability significantly increases developers' ability
to understand real-time systems designs. Graphical models are animated at
every stage of the development life cycle to give real-time developers
instant feedback and validation. ObjecTime Developer 5.0, integrated with
Wind River's Tornado, is the only software development tool that provides
such powerful visualization and control capabilities on the target
platform.
"For the first time, all the benefits of executable, graphical models --
such as animating the models to understand the system's behavior, tracing
messages visually and debugging using graphics -- are available on the
target environment," said Rob Rose, vice president of marketing for
ObjecTime. "The result is a real-time object-oriented modeling tool that
gives developers instant feedback and validation of their designs and lets
them explore design alternatives quickly and easily."
"Tornado's open environment facilitates the ongoing integration of third
party tools making it the most useful development environment in the
embedded market. The ability to link to ObjecTime Developer underscores
this benefit and expands the overall capability of Tornado," said Tracy
Butler, director of core product marketing for Wind River Systems. "By
joining the two environments our customers can now have a robust modeling
environment that was previously unavailable on the target platform."
Available for UNIX, Windows 95, and Windows NT host platforms, Tornado
consists of three integrated components: the Tornado tool suite, a set of
powerful tools and utilities on both the host and the target; VxWorks, the
industry's most powerful and scaleable real-time operating system, which
executes on the embedded target processor; and a full range of
communications options, such as Ethernet, serial line, BDM, ICE, or ROM
emulator for the target connection to the host. Completely open and
extensible, Tornado also facilitates the use of third-party and custom
tools. Tornado is used by thousands of developers and has more than 80 ISV
and partners.
ObjecTime Developer is the leading object-oriented software development
toolset for real-time systems. ObjecTime Developer is the only software
that enables real-time developers to address the entire development cycle
in a single toolset. The software's robust modeling environment,
TotalCode(TM) application generation and executable models are uniquely
suited to building real-world, event-driven products. ObjecTime Developer
is available for UNIX host platforms. ObjecTime Developer provides complete
application generation for more than 30 target platform combinations.
