Texas Instruments Includes Green Hills Software
MULTI Development Tools in DaVinci™ Technology Evaluation Modules
Multi-Core Development Environment Enables Rapid Development
Texas Instruments Developer Conference, Dallas, TX—March 7,
2007—Green Hills Software, Inc., the technology leader in
device software optimization (DSO) and real-time
operating systems (RTOS), today announced that an evaluation version
of its MULTI integrated development
environment (IDE) for DaVinci™ technology
from Texas Instruments Inc. (TI) (NYSE: TXN) is shipping with each
Digital Video Evaluation Module (DVEVM). Developed in partnership with
TI, the Green Hills Software MULTI IDE for DaVinci technology provides
the most comprehensive suite of development tools and operating system-aware
debugging for TI’s TMS320DM644x systems-on-chip (SoC) processors.
TI's DaVinci technology is a complete offering of video-optimized processors,
software, development tools and support ecosystem tailored for the simple
development of efficient and compelling digital video and its associated
audio.
“Green Hills Software is excited to offer MULTI for DaVinci in
a seamless delivery method through the DVEVMs. Now, developers using
DaVinci technology can obtain rapid access to the most complete development
solution available, allowing them to be more efficient and effective
in their product development,” said Dan Mender, director, business
development, Green Hills Software.
“MULTI is key for enabling DaVinci technology developers to achieve
digital video product innovation and differentiation in the fastest,
most intuitive manner,” said Greg Mar, worldwide DSP SoC platform
manager, TI. “Its advanced multicore debugging and OS aware capabilities
are the basis to delivering the best time to market for product development.”
MULTI supports DaVinci technology product development
MULTI for DaVinci technology seamlessly integrates the industry’s
most advanced ARM compiler
from Green Hills along with TI’s award winning Code Composer Studio™ compiler
for TI’s TMS320C64x+™ DSP core. This means that a single
instance of MULTI can compile and debug for both the DM644x ARM9 core
and TI’s C64x+™ DSP core. MULTI supports advanced kernel
and OS-aware debugging for Monta Vista’s Linux as well as for Green
Hills Software’s INTEGRITY and velOSity real-time
operating systems. For TI's C64x+ DSP core, MULTI is integrated with
TI’s DSP/BIOS™ real-time kernel, including support for full
DSP/BIOS kernel awareness. The Green Hills
probe, an advanced hardware debug device, can simultaneously debug
applications running on both the ARM9 and C64x+ DSP cores using a single
connection. MULTI for DaVinci technology also has broad support for third-party
hardware probes. For communication between the ARM9 and C64x+ cores,
MULTI, Linux and INTEGRITY have support for TI’s DSP/BIOS Link,
an inter-processor communication library.
Monta Vista Linux/ARM Debugging
Monta Vista Linux/ARM Debugging Developers employing Monta Vista
Linux on the ARM core of the DM644x processors can now use MULTI’s
advanced Linux debug capabilities that include:
- Linux GUI-based Operating System Awareness (OSA)
- The ability to debug user mode Linux applications from a stop-mode
(JTAG) connection
- The ability to debug multi-threaded, multi-process Linux applications
from a run-mode (Ethernet) connection, using a powerful debug agent
developed by Green Hills Software
- The ability to utilize the Green Hills Software ARM compilers that
generate 20 to 30 percent smaller and faster code than the standard
GCC compilers
- The ability to debug the Linux kernel graphically using the Green
Hills probe
- The ability to debug loadable Linux modules from their entry points
Royalty-free INTEGRITY RTOS for DaVinci technology
INTEGRITY, the premier royalty-free RTOS for use in highly reliable embedded
systems, is the most secure RTOS available for the ARM core in DaVinci
technology processors. Demonstrating the highest average growth in
RTOS market share over the past three years, the success of INTEGRITY
is due to its advanced technological design. It incorporates memory
protection, guaranteed resource availability, field upgradeability,
and optimal real-time response. The INTEGRITY royalty-free business
model and advanced security features make it ideal for applications
ranging from high-volume consumer digital video electronics to next-generation
video surveillance equipment.
