LynuxWorks Opens ``Window'' Into Linux for Microsoft Development Tools; VisualLynux Integrates Visual C++ Development Tools to Support The Linux Operating System.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 25, 2000 LynuxWorks Inc. today introduced VisualLynux(TM), the first product to integrate the Microsoft Visual C++(TM)Integrated Development Environment See IDE. integrated development environment - interactive development environment (IDE) with development tools for the Linux operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. . VisualLynux is compatible with LynuxWorks' BlueCat(TM) Linux and other Linux 2.2.12 distributions. "It's exciting to be the first to open a 'window' from Visual C++ to Linux," said Dr. Inder Singh In the death of hockey Olympian Inder Singh, who breathed his last in Italy on August 19, 2001 at the age of 56, India lost a versatile sportsman who not only inspired youngsters back home with his dazzling stickwork but also motivated youngsters to take up hockey overseas. , chief executive officer and chairman of LynuxWorks. "Since Visual C++ is the de facto standard Hardware or software that is widely used, but not endorsed by a standards organization. Contrast with de jure standard. de facto standard - A widespread consensus on a particular product or protocol which has not been ratified by any official standards body, such as ISO, Windows-based software development platform used by most developers, VisualLynux demonstrates our commitment to delivering products that makes it easier for our customers to create embedded applications using the Linux platform." VisualLynux addresses the need for a Linux-based software solution that can be embedded in "target" processors found in products used in the telecommunications infrastructure, along with post-PC devices, including hand-held computing and Internet-only appliances and TVs with Internet connections. Visual C++ and VisualLynux The Microsoft Visual C++ includes powerful and innovative language, team development and application lifecycle tools. Used in conjunction with VisualLynux, Visual C++, provides a comprehensive workbench for developing scalable, distributed applications for embedded real-time systems Real-time systems Computer systems in which the computer is required to perform its tasks within the time restraints of some process or simultaneously with the system it is assisting. used on the Internet and traditional client/server implementations. "With VisualLynux, developers don't have to make a choice between using Linux in their products or using the best IDE in commercial use," said Luke Dion, Vice President of Technology and Strategic Planning Strategic planning is an organization's process of defining its strategy, or direction, and making decisions on allocating its resources to pursue this strategy, including its capital and people. for LynuxWorks. "Now they can do both because VisualLynux leverages Visual C++ to develop Linux software." VisualLynux contains BlueCat Linux debugging tools along with wizards and application windows to extend Visual C++ to Linux "target" processors. This gives programmers the capability to develop Linux applications from within the context of Visual C++. VisualLynux includes the Target Wizard(TM), an interactive tool for configuring and connecting to Linux-based "target" systems. After running Target Wizard, VisualLynux provides tools that automatically know how to download programs to the Linux system and execute and 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. them from the Microsoft Windows-based workstation. At the click of a button, VisualLynux will automatically recompile To compile a program again. A program is recompiled after a change has been made to it in order to test and run the revised version. Programs are recompiled many times during the course of development and maintenance. See compile. Linux applications, download newly rebuilt programs to Linux, and start the applications under control of the VisualLynux debugger. In addition, VisualLynux includes tools for importing and exporting traditional Linux "makefiles" and an on-line help system, which provides detailed system information needed for creating Linux applications. VisualLynux is priced at $1,999 per copy.
