AdaCore GNAT Pro development environment supports Wind River VxWorks 7 RTOS
SANTA CLARA, Calif., 22 July 2015.AdaCore has extended its Wind River VxWorks real-time operating system (RTOS) support with the GNAT Pro development environment on VxWorks 7. AdaCore engineers worked closely with Wind River professionals on this new product, ensuring that it would support both single- and multi-core systems, as well as other architectures.
“AdaCore’s GNAT Pro is well established among users of Wind River platforms, especially in the aerospace and defense market,” says Prashant Dubal, director of VxWorks product management at Wind River. “This new version of GNAT Pro for VxWorks 7 is the latest step in the long and successful strategic partnership between AdaCore and Wind River.”
Enhancements over previous versions include a completely reengineered open source debugger protocol and more seamless integration with Wind River Workbench. The development environment handles all-Ada and multi-language applications, officials say.
“Wind River provides proven, reliable, and stable solutions. With VxWorks 7, the company has elevated its technology to entirely new heights, moving to a much broader integration of embedded solutions and big data,” affirms Jerome Guitton, AdaCore’s VxWorks product manager. “These are important attributes in helping us provide market-leading solutions for our joint customers, and the AdaCore plug-in for Wind River Workbench will dramatically improve their experience.”
