-- First commercial IDE for embedded development based on Eclipse.
-- Provides complete toolset, from code creation to performance analysis,
with all tools integrated under a single interface.
-- Offers consistent tools and capabilities across multiple host
platforms: Windows, Solaris, QNX.
EMBEDDED SYSTEMS CONFERENCE, SAN FRANCISCO, March 12 /PRNewswire/ -- QNX
Software Systems today is kicking off the beta program for its new QNX(R)
integrated development environment (IDE), the first commercial IDE for
embedded development based on the Eclipse platform.
Developers working with the beta release of the QNX IDE will have the
advantage of a complete toolset for code development, debugging, project
source management, memory analysis, and profiling -- all tightly integrated
under a single user interface.
The initial beta version of the tools include a C/C++ code developer that
provides time-saving features like code completion, error parsing, and
templates; a debugger that can debug multiple processes, languages, and
targets simultaneously; a project source manager for handling complex multi-
projects; performance analysis tools for memory usage and profiling; a
flexible target agent architecture for debugging an embedded target over
virtually any connection; and a system builder that lets programmers create
embedded images with point-and-click simplicity.
Compared to existing IDEs, the QNX IDE raises the bar for tool-to-tool
integration. For example, memory analysis is tightly coupled to the debugger
-- when a memory allocation error is detected, the IDE can automatically
switch to the debugger perspective so the developer can pinpoint the problem.
The QNX IDE will also provide identical capabilities and tools across multiple
host platforms -- Solaris, Windows, and the QNX RTOS -- so that all developers
on a project can work with the same tools and source code.
"By allowing tools to work hand-in-hand, the QNX IDE eliminates much of
the time and effort traditionally associated with embedded development," said
Bill Chalmers, Engineering Director, Platform Solutions, Intel Corporation.
"This, in combination with the fault-tolerant QNX RTOS, can give those Intel
customers building networking and embedded applications the best of both
worlds: higher productivity and field-proven reliability."
"Several QNX customers have already previewed the QNX IDE, and, in every
case, they were impressed not just by the wealth and quality of the tools, but
by the way the tools worked in concert to accelerate all aspects of the
development cycle -- from code creation to remote debugging," said Alec
Saunders, vice president of marketing at QNX Software Systems. "So, we're
understandably excited about taking this to the next step and getting the QNX
IDE into the hands of a wider group of embedded developers."
