Embedded Systems Show, Birmingham, UK, October 1, 2008—Aonix®,
a provider of solutions for safety- and mission-critical applications,
announced the release of ObjectAda for Linux hosts targeting PowerPC
embedded and real-time systems running the LynuxWorks LynxOS 4.2 RTOS.
With enhanced edit, build, and debug facilities, ObjectAda speeds Ada
application development using Linux, the preferred environment of
engineers building large and complex systems. Thanks to such time
savings, ObjectAda developers can reduce time to market and development
costs over less functional toolchains.
ObjectAda Real-Time for LynxOS includes an
enhanced linker that dramatically reduces link time. As well,
the Ada debug facility enables more efficient use of functions
to step into and out of protected subprograms. Upgraded support
for GDB/MI mixed-code disassembly and interspersion of
disassembled code with sources is included and improved
multi-language debug support for C and Ada code are also
provided to speed cross language test cycles.
“Aonix has long been a premier partner,”
said Joe Wlad, Director of Certification, Marketing and Services
at LynuxWorks. “Many of our customers, especially in the
aerospace and military segments, continue to look for ways to
leverage their Ada development expertise in new projects or
extend the life of their existing Ada applications with updated
and improved tools. We are pleased that Aonix continues to
support our most important LynxOS customers with their ObjectAda
family.”
“Access to standards-based COTS products
like those supplied by LynuxWorks is extremely important for our
military and defense customers,” confirmed Gary Cato, Aonix
director of marketing. “Aonix is committed to supporting
world-class RTOS environments like LynxOS and strives to
continually improve the efficiency and level of integration
between our products. Our combined technologies deliver a
powerful toolset to developers.”
About the
ObjectAda Family
ObjectAda is an
extensive family of native and cross development tools and runtime environments.
ObjectAda native products provide host development and execution support for the
most popular environments including Windows, Linux and various Unix operating
systems. ObjectAda Real-Time products provide cross development tools on
Windows, Linux or Unix systems which target PowerPC and Intel target processors
running in a full Ada “bare” runtime or in conjunction with popular RTOSs.
ObjectAda RAVEN® products provide a hard real-time Ada runtime to address those
systems requiring certification to the highest levels of safety standards such
as DO-178B Level A for flight safety.
