Integrated Systems Introduces pRISM for pSOSystem on 68K and PowerPC Microprocessors; Only Fully Integrated Development Environment for Embedded Systems Developers is Based on Green Hills MULTI.SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 17, 1995--Integrated Systems, Inc. and Green Hills Software, Inc. today announced that they are delivering their software solutions to both 68K and PowerPC microprocessor embedded systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. developers. The pRISM(TM) integrated development environment See IDE. integrated development environment - interactive development environment combines Integrated Systems' industry leading pSOSystem(R) 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. with Green Hills Software's optimizing C and C++ cross compilers and MULTI MULTI Multiple (R) Development Environment. pRISM -- an integrated set of cross-development tools tailored specifically for writing, compiling, loading and debugging embedded applications running on pSOS+(R) and pSOS+m(R) real-time kernels, includes Integrated Systems' SpOTLIGHT(TM) source level debugger, tailored for embedded multitasking multitasking Mode of computer operation in which the computer works on multiple tasks at the same time. A task is a computer program (or part of a program) that can be run as a separate entity. applications. Moses Joseph, Integrated Systems' vice president, marketing, states: "Integrated Systems is committed to providing the best development tools to the embedded market. pRISM is undoubtedly best in its class and represents the state-of-the-art in the industry today. pRISM provides the same seamless environment on the PC and UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). workstations. pRISM and pSOS, 68K and PowerPC, PC and UNIX workstations are all a series of one-two punches that knock the stuffing out of any other offering in the market." Dan O'Dowd, Green Hills Software president, explains: "pSOSystem features a comprehensive networking and scalability solution, along with outstanding components such as pROBE+(TM), pSOS+, and pSOS+m. Combined with the MULTI Integrated Development Environment, these products give users the best tools available in the industry for developing embedded 68K applications." The pSOSystem software package includes pSOS+ and pSOS+m (multiprocessing), the world's fastest growing real-time operating system kernels; the industry's most advanced visual debugging and analysis tool, ESp(TM); the pROBE+ target resident agent for easier, faster debugging; and advanced networking capabilities including Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) A widely used network monitoring and control protocol. Data are passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network device (hub, router, bridge, etc. ) and OpEN(TM) (Open protocol Embedded Networking) software which allows any STREAMS compliant networking protocol to work with the pSOS+ operating system. With OpEN software, developers only need to write an application once to support multiple protocols. Green Hills Software is widely recognized for its optimizing C, C++, FORTRAN, Pascal, and Ada compilers, each of which use more than 100 optimizations for fast and compact code. Green Hills' MULTI Development Environment contains a comprehensive suite of tools including a source-level debugger, program builder, execution profiler, code coverage analyzer, editor, source code control system, and run-time error checking. MULTI displays separate source code 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. windows for each task during execution. This simplifies the debugging of complex intertask communication and interaction. The Green Hills compilers, combined with the MULTI Development Environment, have the same user interface across all popular UNIX workstations and PCs running Microsoft Windows. The pRISM solution is available now from Integrated Systems. The complete development environment for the UNIX workstation with first-user floating license is $6,900. The full-package PC workstation CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. license is $3,900. Individual tools are also available. Integrated Systems will provide maintenance and support. pRISM software supports Sun, IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) RS6000, PC-Windows 3.1, and HP9000-700 hosts, and the Motorola 68K, PowerPC and Hitachi SH targets.
