Wind River Releases Workbench On-Chip Debugging Optimized for Intel

By Rajani Baburajan, TMCnet Contributor


Wind River (News - Alert), a wholly owned subsidiary of Intel and provider of embedded and mobile software, announced the latest version of Wind River Workbench On-Chip Debugging optimized for Intel (News - Alert) architecture.


Based on the Eclipse platform, Wind River Workbench On-Chip Debugging is a standards-based graphical debugging solution that simplifies the entire embedded development lifecycle and enhances developer efficiency, company officials said.

The new Wind River Workbench On-Chip Debugging is optimized for Intel processors including Intel Atom, Core and Xeon processors targeted for embedded system development. This debug solution enables embedded device customers across a wide range of industries to develop more effectively and efficiently for Intel-based embedded platforms.

The solution is designed to address the challenges associated with diagnosing the cause of hardware and software issues. The solution provides the visibility into all layers of a system to help pinpoint trouble spots in hardware and software interaction.

"Wind River Workbench On-Chip Debugging allows developers deep visibility into their embedded systm during all phases of the development cycle,” said Brian Finkel, product line manager for tools at Wind River, in a statement. “This is especially essential as systems become more complicated and difficult to debug, necessitating highly tuned, multi-core and OS-aware tools."

With its support for debugging dynamically loaded EFI modules and visibility into UEFI data structures, the new Wind River Workbench On-Chip Debugging helps developers customize, optimize and debug boot loaders and BIOS.

Users can quickly assess the state of their platform thanks to the Intel architecture views and utilities. They can monitor key elements such as descriptor tables, paging tables, virtual to physical memory mapping, PCI (News - Alert) bus, and CPU and peripheral registers. Serial peripheral interface (SPI) Flash programming streamlines the development process by eliminating the need to use a standalone flash programming tool.

"Wind River continues to combine Intel technology within our best-in-class development tools for VxWorks and Wind River Linux run-time platforms and deliver tools that help customers optimize performance, improve developer productivity and shorten time-to-market for their Intel-based projects," Finkel added.

The company offers development tools that enable greater choice and flexibility, whether developers choose to create systems based on VxWorks and Wind River Linux operating systems or other operating systems.

Recently Wind River announced it has introduced the latest version of its Wind River Network Acceleration Platform, a multi-core acceleration solution delivering ultrafast networking performance for network infrastructure equipment.
