Green Hills Probe Supports Intel® Architecture
Major Addition to the Leading Debug Probe Technology
INTEL DEVELOPERS FORUM, SAN FRANCISCO, CA, and EMBEDDED
SYSTEMS CONFERENCE, BOSTON, MA —September 22, 2009—Green
Hills Software, Inc., the largest independent vendor of embedded
software solutions, today announced that it has added support for
Intel® architecture to the Green Hills Probe, the fastest and
smartest debug probe ever built. The Green Hills Probe supports the
latest Intel architecture, including the Intel® Atom™,
Intel® Core™2 Duo, and Intel® Core™ i7. Together
with the MULTI® integrated development environment (IDE), the
Green Hills Probe is a versatile tool for hardware bring-up, software
and firmware debugging, and product manufacturing.
"We highly value the strength of our ecosystem to help enable a
world of 15 billion intelligent, connected devices we see deployed by
2015," said Joe Jensen, general manager, Embedded Computing Division,
Intel. "Adding the Probe to Green Hills’ portfolio supporting
Intel architecture will offer developers additional choice for product
development."
"Green Hills Software is pleased to expand its high-speed probe
support to Intel processors," commented David Kleidermacher, chief
technology officer, Green Hills Software. "Software, hardware, and
firmware/BIOS developers, across embedded, mobile, desktop, and server
segments, are extremely pleased to have a world-class chip-level debugging
environment for Intel processors."
New Connector System
The Green Hills Probe for Intel architecture debuts an all-new intelligent
connector system. While other probe products inflict short, unshielded,
and difficult to change connectors and cables on their users, the Green
Hills Probe uses a shielded, microcoaxial, impedance-controlled cable
and robust connector system. Tested up to one meter for 100 MHz JTAG
operation, the cable lets users operate in flexible configurations,
including tight spaces. Changing to a different debug port is as easy
as plugging a new adapter onto the cable; the Green Hills Probe instantly
recognizes the adapter and configures itself. Confidence LEDs on both
sides of the adapter let the user know when the cable is properly connected.
No other debug probe can match the Green Hills Probe’s reliability,
performance, and ease of use.
About the Green Hills Probe
The Green Hills Probe is the fastest and smartest debug probe ever built.
Harnessed through the MULTI integrated development environment and
its comprehensive run-control and processor visibility interfaces,
the third-generation Green Hills Probe helps developers find and fix
bugs faster than ever before. With download rates close to the theoretical
maximum for Intel cores, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0 High Speed, and
a flexible electrical interface, the Green Hills Probe provides fast,
reliable debugging and system visibility. The Green Hills Probe uses
hand-placed custom logic and a highly optimized software path to attain
its unprecedented speed. The Green Hills Probe supports more than one
thousand processor variants from over thirty manufacturers. The Green
Hills Probe is compliant with RoHS, PSE, and CEC standards.
Built with INTEGRITY
The Green Hills Probe is powered by Green Hills Software’s INTEGRITY® RTOS,
the leading high-reliability real-time operating system. The INTEGRITY
RTOS’ partitioning architecture and ultra-fast response time make
the probe modular, reliable, and easy to use while attaining performance
levels that have never before been achieved.
Availability
The Green Hills Probe for Intel Architecture is available now, with production
quantities in Q4 2009.
