"Wind River is an important partner in delivering customer solutions which can significantly accelerate development time," stated Brian Wilkie, vice president and general manager of Motorola's Computing Platform See platform. Division. "Further enhancing Motorola's Smart Networks Platform, we are pleased to have Wind River supporting the new MPC8245 integrated host processor." "Wind River is pleased to deliver on our Center of Excellence relationship with Motorola," said John Fogelin, vice president and general manager of Wind River's Platforms business unit. "Even before the release of the MPC8245 processor, our companies have been working together to provide highly-integrated debuggers, compilers, control emulators, real-time operating systems and other tools crucial to supporting a number of important PowerPC processors from Motorola including the integrated MPC8245 processor." Wind River Support for the MPC8245 Processor This robust product offering allows embedded system Any electronic system that uses a CPU chip, but that is not a general-purpose workstation, desktop or laptop computer. Such systems generally use microprocessors, or they may use custom-designed chips or both. developers to bring up new hardware, solve tough hardware-software integration issues and facilitate the production and test of completed products. Specifically, Wind River offers developers using Motorola's MPC8245 processor: -- Diab(TM) C/C++ compiler and RTA Suite(TM): The most highly optimized compiling solution and powerful run-time analysis tools for MPC8245 processor-based applications. -- Tornado(R) II: This offering provides GNU and Diab compiler support, the VxWorks(R) RTOS and a new board support package for the Wind River SBC8245 reference board and the Motorola Sandpoint Evaluation System with PMC8245 processor module. -- Tornado AE: Wind River's most advanced platform offering, implementing an innovative new computing paradigm for developing embedded applications. This offering provides the VxWorks AE RTOS and a new board support package for the Wind River SBC8245 reference board and the Motorola Sandpoint Evaluation System with PMC8245 processor module. -- Network stacks: A wide variety of network stacks are available to help developers build data communication, telecom, and storage applications based on the MPC8245 processor. Among the offerings are Tornado for Managed Switches, Tornado for Home Gateways, WindNet(TM) OSPFv2, BGP-4, PPP, MPLS, ATM, IPSec, IKE, L2TP, Envoy(TM) SNMPv1/v2c/v3, and the RapidControl(TM) line of device management products. -- Java Solutions: Personal JWorks(TM) is a complete implementation of Sun Microsystems' PersonalJava Application Environment (PJAE) on Wind River's VxWorks RTOS. Personal JWorks is certified for full compatibility with the PersonalJava specification and allows developers to embed Java into their MPC8245 processor-based applications. -- visionPROBE II, visionICE II, visionCLICK, visionXD and SingleStep(TM) with vision: Hardware-assisted debugging solutions including real-time target control, source-level debugging, high speed downloads to the target, flash programming and built-in hardware diagnostics. -- visionWARE: A software development platform that extends the power of hardware-assisted tools and provides a premier boot loading capability. -- SBC8245 Reference Board: A solid platform for both hardware and software engineers to use in prototyping MPC8245 processor-based designs and a live target for developing and testing code.
