What Does Green Hills Software Do?

 

Green Hills Software provides a comprehensive range of products and services that enable electronic product developers to develop the best software in the least time at the lowest cost. By best software we mean the highest performance software, totally reliable software, the most capable software, and software that requires the least memory and processing power.

We Improve Your Software Development Process

The rapid decline in the cost of microprocessors and memory has resulted in inexpensive electronic products having more computing capability than the mainframe computers of 30 years ago. The fierce competition for advanced capability in electronic products has caused an explosion in the size and complexity of the software embedded in electronic products. Software has become the most expensive, time consuming, and highest risk aspect of electronic product development. Green Hills Software has developed a comprehensive range of products and services to optimize your embedded software development process.

We Boost Your Rate of Return on Investment

As a successful embedded software company, we understand that the purpose of software development tools is to maximize your profits and your rate of return on investment from your software development process.

The Most Advanced Technology

Green Hills Software was founded by embedded software developers. Green Hills Software has always been run by embedded software developers. Not surprisingly, we have always been fanatically dedicated to the advancement of embedded software development technology. We have consistently developed the most advanced embedded software development technology. Our products and services work together to provide a comprehensive solution to your embedded software development needs. Our products can be divided into four major categories: real time operating systems, software development tools, compilers, and hardware assisted debugging.

The Most Advanced RTOS Technology

Real time operating systems are operating systems that are specialized to control electronic products. Our INTEGRITY real time operating system is the most reliable real time operating system. It has been selected to control the avionics, radar, and weapons systems of over twenty different models of military jets, helicopters, ships, and submarines.

Our real time operating systems come with comprehensive networking and communications software that enable the makers of electronic products to connect their devices to the Internet, the telephone network, and local area networks using all of the popular communications protocols.

The Most Advanced Debugging Technology

An embedded software debugger helps the developers of electronic products find the bugs in their software. For the last ten years, our MULTI software development environment has represented the most advanced embedded software debugging technology, enabling the highest programmer productivity and the fastest time to market. This has made MULTI the most popular embedded software debugger.

The Most Advanced Compiler Technology

A compiler translates the high level languages (i.e. C, C++, Ada) in which software is usually written into the low level machine languages that computers really understand.

For the last twenty-eight years, our optimizing compilers have represented the most advanced compiler technology, making them the most popular embedded compilers. We consistently generate faster and smaller code than any other compiler, enabling you to achieve the highest performance for your product as well as the lowest production cost.

The Fastest Hardware Download & Debug

Green Hills Software's latest product line consists of hardware devices that directly connect the desktop computer, on which software is developed, to the embedded microprocessor under development. This allows Green Hills Software to integrate the entire software development process from software design to hardware debug, without any multiple vendor blame games. The Green Hills Probe is the most advanced hardware run control and debug solution, offering the fastest software downloading and debugging.
