Management.Rhapsody Supports Linux Platforms I-Logix, has announced the availability of Rhapsody on Linux host platforms as well as Linux-based target devices. Linux software engineers will, it is claimed, benefit from the ease-of-use associated with using the standard UML-based notation for Model-Driven Development (MDD MDD Major depressive disorder, see there ), while usingMontaVista Linux as an embedded operating system An operating system used in special-purpose applications (embedded systems). Embedded operating systems are typically very compact and often designed for real time operations. See embedded Linux, QNX, OS-9, Windows XP Embedded, Windows CE, VxWorks and Symbian OS. , and RED HAT as a Linux host platform. In partnership with MontaVista Software, I-Logix' Rhapsody has been validated for MontaVista Linux, the major embedded operating system. The Rhapsody MDD environment provides embedded software engineers with the ability to develop their software applications using the Unified Modeling Language See UML. (language) Unified Modeling Language - (UML) A non-proprietary, third generation modelling language. The Unified Modeling Language is an open method used to specify, visualise, construct and document the artifacts of an object-oriented software-intensive system (UML (Unified Modeling Language) An object-oriented analysis and design language from the Object Management Group (OMG). Many design methodologies for describing object-oriented systems were developed in the late 1980s. ). With this integration with MontaVista Linux, engineers can analyse their design by animating the model, focusing on the software architecture and behavior while debugging the code running on the target microprocessor. On the host platform side, I-Logix will add the RED HAT Enterprise Linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux (often abbreviated to RHEL) is a Linux distribution produced by Red Hat and targeted toward the commercial market, including mainframes. Red Hat commits to supporting each version of RHEL for 7 years after its release. Operating System to the hosts supported by Rhapsody. In response to the numerous embedded developers utilising Linux as a low cost, high performance workstation alternative, Rhapsody's availability on RED HAT will extend its reach to the rapidly growing Linux-based market opportunity. Rhapsody for RED HAT will be available Q2 of 2004. www.ilogic.com |
