MontaVista Software Announces New Developer Tools Beta.MontaVista to Provide Vendor-neutral, Eclipse-based Technology, Along with New, Industry-leading Developer Tools 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. -- MontaVista Software MontaVista Software develops systems software, development tools and Embedded Linux-based software targeting embedded systems such as automotive electronics, communications equipment, and television set-top boxes and other connected devices and infrastructure. , Inc., the leading embedded Linux The Linux operating system configured and enhanced to work in a wide variety of applications, including handheld devices, network appliances, industrial machines and consumer electronics devices. The modularity of the Linux kernel makes it well suited to embedded systems. provider for the telecommunications, mobile, and embedded markets, today announced a new developer tools beta; with final release available in the first half of 2007. MontaVista is holding a product demonstration of the beta at Embedded Technology Japan 2006, Booth D-07. The new developer tools beta provides integrated infrastructure and solutions to support development for multiple versions and editions of MontaVista Linux. The MontaVista developer tools, code-named Project Tsuki, plugs into Eclipse - an open source community whose projects are focused on providing a vendor-neutral, open integration platform with application frameworks for building cross-platform software. This will enable a full standards-compliant application development process. "The Project Tsuki beta is a significant update to the MontaVista developer tools suite," said Michel Meeuws, Philips Consumer Electronics Philips Consumer Electronics is a part of Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. (usually known as Philips); and is one of the largest electronics companies in the world. In 2005, its sales were € 30.4 billion (US$38. . "The advancements in usability have provided us an optimal solution for our MontaVista Linux-based project. With the Project Tsuki Eclipse plug-ins, MontaVista has delivered a simplified, automated remote debugging Remote debugging is the process of debugging a program running on a system different than the debugger. To start remote debugging, debugger connects to a remote system over a network. and analysis solution for embedded Linux in a way that is flexible with our development environment." "The continuously evolving and maturing Eclipse platform has emerged as an alternative way for embedded software suppliers to reduce their costs in lieu of developing and maintaining their own proprietary IDE," said Stephen Balacco, embedded software analyst with Venture Development Corporation. "While not perfect, the Eclipse framework might offer the best environment to enable higher levels of integration and inter-operability with best-in-class standard Eclipse plug-in technologies like MontaVista's beta technology for embedded Linux 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 analysis solutions that cover a broader spectrum of the development cycle." Developers will have the ability to use MontaVista plug-ins on any Eclipse-based integrated development environment See IDE. integrated development environment - interactive development environment (IDE), allowing greater flexibility and complete participation in the Eclipse ecosystem. Development teams supporting multiple operating systems no longer will be bound by vendors' separate IDE. Project Tsuki also delivers and installs versions of Eclipse, CDT CDT abbr.

"MontaVista's new best-in-breed tools platform is designed and developed explicitly for Linux, which will provide application and system developers of embedded Linux with the right tools for the job," said James Ready, CTO (Chief Technical Officer) The executive responsible for the technical direction of an organization.

Following an OSS Oss (ôs), city (1994 pop. 62,141), North Brabant prov., S Netherlands; chartered 1399. It is a significant industrial center. Manufactures include meat products, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, electrical equipment, and metalware. release model, we will be able to provide a more aggressive delivery cycle, with the agility and flexibility that organizations require." As part of the beta, MontaVista is implementing a new delivery schedule. MontaVista will deliver update packages (both maintenance and features) on a regular basis. Customers will receive continued value for their subscription dollars with the opportunity to drive the prioritization of features, thus enabling quicker delivery. The new MontaVista developer tools will specifically address the traditional major challenges for embedded Linux application and system developers by providing Eclipse IDE plug-in features to discover and use current and future MontaVista Linux installations, to easily connect to MontaVista Linux targets using SSH (Secure SHell) A security protocol for logging into a remote server. SSH provides an encrypted session for transferring files and executing server programs. Also serving as a secure client/server connection for applications such as database access and e-mail, SSH supports a for a wide range of target services, and to build and debug MontaVista Linux applications using the standard, un-modified Eclipse C/C C/C Center to Center C/C Combustion Chamber C/C Command/Control C/C Crew Chief C/C cabin cruiser (US DoD) C/C chief complaint (medical) C/C Channel-to-Channel C/C Communication and Collaboration ++ Developer Toolkit. Additional features support advance analysis of MontaVista Linux systems using best-of-breed Linux command-line tools to do the following: understand memory usage, find memory leaks, profile the system and applications to find performance bottlenecks, fully trace a system, and easily build and configure platform images. Applications for participating in the MontaVista developer tools beta program are available at www.mvista.com/projecttsuki. Final release is set for first half 2007.
