The Leader in Open Systems Embedded Development Tools

Although we believe that we offer the best of breed tools for all of your electronic product software development needs, you may prefer to use some tools from another vendor.

Other embedded development tools vendors' closed systems lock you into their real time operating system, compilers, editors, version control, configuration management system, and other embedded development tools. We offer the most open embedded development tools. Our development tools work with most other real time operating systems, communications protocol stacks, compilers, editors, hardware debug probes, version control/configuration management systems, and software design and modeling tools.

Our MULTI Software Development Environment provides an open interface that allows users to easily use other tools from within the MULTI Software Development Environment.

MULTI adheres to open standards that enable users to avoid proprietary, closed interfaces:

• ELF/DWARF standard compiler debugging output
• PowerPC EABI standard
• ANSI/ISO/IEC Ada 95
• BDM, JTAG, OnCE on-chip debug interfaces
• ANSI C, C++, FORTRAN
• Tornado from Wind River Systems
• Gateway from Agilent Technologies

Users can invoke their favorite editors, make systems, and configuration management systems all from within MULTI. Integration with other products is accomplished through MULTI's powerful ability to issue commands to other applications. These commands can be issued from user-customized pull-down menu options or custom action buttons. This flexibility provides an open door to companion applications and command scripts.

Using MULTI avoids the trap of getting locked in with proprietary tools from one ICE, RTOS or chip manufacturer. With MULTI, users can switch to another ICE, RTOS, or target processor without having to retrain personnel, redo make files, or modify source code to account for language variations. The cost of switching vendors, at an industry average of $12,000 per month per programmer, far exceeds the purchase price of the MULTI Software Development Environment.

In addition to the INTEGRITY, velOSity, and µ-velOSity real time operating systems, we provide development support for most of the other popular real time operating systems:

In addition to the Embedded Planet single board computers that we sell, we provide development support for most other popular single board computers:

We have interfaced to home grown real time operating systems for many customers, including Qualcomm, Ford, Alcatel-Lucent, and Toyota.

We will modify our products to work with any real time operating system, compiler, design or modeling tool, configuration management system, editor, communications software, application builder, debug connection, single board computer, or other embedded development tool. We will design, build, and support an interface to any other products that you need to get your development team operating at the greatest possible efficiency.

We enable you to seamlessly integrate the most productive embedded development tools into our embedded development solution, ensuring that you will attain the highest possible programmer productivity.
