Wind River Extends VxWorks and Linux Cross-Platform Development Through Partnership with RTI.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers ALAMEDA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 25, 2004 -- Wind River to Integrate RTI RTI - Return from interrupt ScopeTools with Wind River Workbench -- Longstanding Partnership Continues to Expand Wind River Systems (Nasdaq:WIND), the global leader in device software optimization Device Software Optimization is a concept promoted by Wind River Systems and CMP Publications at dso.com. It refers to a set of toolchains and analysis tools to develop and debug software for embedded systems. (DSO See CSO. ), today announced that it will extend its partnership with RTI by integrating RTI ScopeTools(TM) with Wind River's new integrated development environment See IDE. integrated development environment - interactive development environment (IDE), the Wind River Workbench, previously known as Wind Power IDE 2. The combination of Wind River Workbench and RTI's dynamic debugging and data visualization See information visualization. tools will enable project teams to develop device software faster, better, at a lower cost and more reliably across both Linux and VxWorks(R), the industry leading operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. for device software. "With Wind River's embrace of Linux, the company is able to leverage its expansive partner ecosystem to offer solutions that support both Linux and VxWorks," said Bill Claybrook, vice president of Linux strategy at Harvard Research Group. "The inclusion of RTI ScopeTools in the Wind River Workbench will provide developers using Linux or VxWorks with a rich multi-dimensional capability to understand software and systems activity, improving the predictability and efficiency of device software development." The RTI ScopeTools enable developers to optimize device software by providing increased visibility into an application's dynamic data, memory use and performance. RTI ScopeTools are the perfect complement to the Wind River Workbench. Together they provide extensive visibility into program code and system level activity for Linux or VxWorks. By integrating these technological capabilities into a single IDE, the Wind River Workbench developers will have new insight into software and system behavior to uncover and correct problems much more quickly and efficiently. In addition, the integration of RTI ScopeTools with the Wind River Workbench marks the first significant instance of the tool-to-tool integration using the company's Eclipse-based IDE. Wind River Workbench, an open, standards based, device software development environment, provides deep functionality for every development task as well as support for the leading target processors, target operating systems and development hosts. As a result, Wind River Workbench is a vehicle for improving developer productivity, project team collaboration and organizational capability. "The Wind River Workbench provides industry-leading capabilities for both VxWorks and Linux developers. We are proud to extend our partnership and integrate RTI ScopeTools with Wind River's next-generation IDE," said Stan Schneider, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.
