Green Hills Software Endorses New Freescale
Multi-core
Communications Platform
Green Hills Software’s Tools and Operating Systems Support
Freescale Multicore Strategy Today and Tomorrow
FREESCALE TECHNOLOGY FORUM, ORLANDO, FL —June 25, 2007—Green
Hills Software, Inc., the technology leader in device software optimization
(DSO) and real-time operating systems (RTOS),
today confirmed support for Freescale Semiconductor’s new Multi-core
Communications Platform strategy. Green Hills
Software’s products have been used with Freescale multi-processor
designs since the early 1990s, and Green Hills will expand its partnership
with Freescale to provide mature, complete solutions to complement this multicore
strategy.
“As the number of processing elements in a single device grows,
so does the complexity of the software project,” said Jeff Timbs,
director of marketing for Freescale’s Networking Systems Division. “As
a proven supplier of innovative multicore tools and operating systems
to our customers, we look to Green Hills products to continue to help
customers solve this software development challenge by utilizing the
strengths of our innovative new multicore architecture.”
“For years, our customers have used our innovative products to
gain better visibility and control into their multicore products,” said
David Kleidermacher, chief technology officer, Green Hills Software. “We
have customers using from 1 to over 100 processing elements in their
products for automobiles, aircraft, massive signal processing, consumer
devices and communication infrastructure. We look forward to adding to
our technology-rich partnership with Freescale relative to the company’s
current and future generations of multicore technology.”
Multicore Visibility and Optimization During Software Development
Green Hills Software’s software and hardware development tools
have supported multiple heterogeneous and homogeneous processor architectures
since the early 1990s. As an integrated set, the Green Hills tools provide
developers priceless visibility, control, and optimized performance for
multiple execution paths in applications on Freescale multicore solutions.
- MULTI debugger – in
a single instantiation of MULTI, the user selects one or more cores
to debug. All the deep debugging features normally presented for a
single core such as run-mode debugging, thread-mode debugging, memory
windows, register windows, stack trace windows, are presented in a
unique color. In addition, the user has complete control to operate
on one or more cores as a group to start, stop, set a breakpoint and
so on.
- TimeMachine suite – the
development tool that revolutionized software development with reverse
program debugging was architected with multicore challenges in mind.
- EventAnalyzer – a time synchronized graphical display of system
activities over time enables developers to see complex real-time relationships
within the multicore system. The user readily spots execution bottlenecks
by viewing context switches, RTOS kernel calls, interrupts and exceptions,
and user-defined events.
- JTAG hardware probes – the Green
Hills Probe and SuperTrace
Probe are multicore-smart allowing for simultaneous processor
core freeze-mode or run-mode debugging.
RTOS Family for Multicore RTOSes with Highest Reliability and Scalability
The royalty-free family of RTOSes from
Green Hills Software offers Freescale customers the industry’s
highest level of security, reliability and real-time performance for
SMP (symmetric multiprocessing) and AMP (asymmetric multiprocessing)
designs. The unique RTOS family brings INTEGRITY,
the only commercially available RTOS reliable enough to control commercial
jet flight guidance systems under DO-178B
Level A certification; velOSity,
for applications that require fastest time-to-market and lowest production
costs; and µ-velOSity,
for applications that require the absolute lowest production costs and
smallest memory footprint.
