Diab Data and Microware Partner to Provide Open Development Environment for Embedded Systems.DES MOINES, Iowa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 30, 1998--Microware Systems Corporation (Nasdaq: MWAR), developer of the embedded industry's superior OS-9 real-time operating system (operating system) Real-Time Operating System - (RTOS) Any operating system where interrupts are guaranteed to be handled within a certain specified maximum time, thereby making it suitable for control of hardware in embedded systems and other time-critical applications. , today announced that Diab Data, worldwide provider of high-quality development tools for the embedded systems market, has joined the Microware Hawk Partners Program. Microware will integrate and support Diab Data's compiler and Run-Time Analysis tool suites with its new Hawk integrated development environment See IDE. integrated development environment - interactive development environment . This combination of superior RTOS (1) (RealTime Operating System) An operating system designed for use in a real time computer system. See real time system, embedded system, process control and OS-9. , run-time analysis tool suite, and advanced compiler will provide users with an open, easy-to-use solution for their embedded project design. "Diab Data is pleased to see Microware opening up its Hawk Integrated Development Environment to third-party solutions," said J.C. Sarner, vice president of sales and marketing at Diab Data Inc. "Developers of OS-9 applications will now have access to Diab Data's performance-leading compiler and Run-Time Analysis suites." Diab Data's D-CC and D-C++ Power Compiling Solutions feature superior optimization technology. They are widely known for consistently generating the fastest, tightest, and most reliable code for high-end RISC RISC in full Reduced Instruction Set Computing Computer architecture that uses a limited number of instructions. RISC became popular in microprocessors in the 1980s. and 68K-based systems. D-CC and D-C++ also feature strict conformance to open standards such as ANSI (American National Standards Institute, New York, www.ansi.org) A membership organization founded in 1918 that coordinates the development of U.S. voluntary national standards in both the private and public sectors. It is the U.S. member body to ISO and IEC. and the EABI EABI Embedded-Application Binary Interface (Embedded Application Binary Interface An embedded-application binary interface (EABI) specifies standard conventions for file formats, data types, register usage, stack frame organization, and function parameter passing of an embedded software program. ). By adhering to open standards and file formats, Diab Data's compiler suites work with the widest range of leading debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. and run-time development environments. Diab Data also offers a new class of Run-Time Analysis tools for improving program performance, reliability, and memory usage in embedded applications. Diab Data's RTA RTA renal tubular acidosis. RTA Renal tubular acidosis, see there Suite is a powerful combination of visual tools designed to provide the critical insight developers need to maximize program performance and to improve code reliability before Q.A. "Coupled with the modularity, security, and flexibility of Microware's OS-9 real-time operating system, Diab Data's compiler and Run-Time Analysis suites will provide an optimized tool for embedded developers," said Stephen Bashada, vice president of marketing at Microware. "The addition of Diab Data as a Microware Hawk Partner strengthens the goal of the partner program--to provide an open environment for embedded developers." Microware Hawk is a completely open environment designed to support the embedded industry's popular third-party development tools such as compilers, in-circuit emulators, debuggers, and testing tools. Hawk's well-documented, open environment makes it easy to target OS-9. Microware Systems Corporation Microware (NASDAQ: MWAR) develops, markets, and supports sophisticated real-time operating system software and development tools for advanced consumer, communications, and industrial products, including devices for the emerging Internet, wireless communications, and digital television markets.
