Green Hills Software and Objective Interface Systems have drastically reduced the memory footprint of the software used to build software defined radios
The Multi 2000 integrated development environment (IDE) from Green Hills Software can now help designers to reduce the development time of embedded systems for automotive applications by providing full support for the osCAN OSEK-compliant real time operating system (RTOS) running on ARM and NEC microprocessors.
Fully compliant with OSEK v2.1 and available for ARM and NEC V85x processors, the osCAN RTOS from Vector Informatik is optimised for code-efficient automotive designs that minimise use of microcontroller memory and CPU time.
Multi 2000 for osCAN can significantly simplify the development of osCAN-based systems by delivering detailed, kernel-aware information for developers building and debugging C, C++, embedded C++ and assembly language source files for OSEK-compliant automotive applications.
Designed to automate all aspects of software development for osCAN-based systems, the Green Hills Multi 2000 IDE includes an editor, a debugger and a program builder.

RTOS and tool range supports ARM Cortex family
The entire Green Hills Software product suite is now available for the ARM Cortex family of processors
The IDE also provides dedicated windows for key osCAN components such as Tasks, Alarms, Resources and Messages.
These windows allow the developer to quickly and easily obtain summaries of all the components of a particular type, as well as detailed information about any specific component such as ceiling priority and stack peak usage of each individual task.
Multi 2000 includes a run-time error checker, a version control system and performance profiler and is fully integrated with Vector's OIL configurator.
In addition, an instruction set simulator allows programmers to develop and test osCAN code on a PC or workstation without the need for the target hardware.
At the heart of the Multi IDE is a source-level debugger with incremental debug capability that supports kernel-aware system-level debug.
Since many different suppliers support OSEK, there is a run-time interface standard in development known as the OSEK Run-Time Interface (ORTI).
With ORTI, once a third party vendor's tool is "OSEK aware" it will work with all OSEK implementations.
Green Hills Software participates on the ORTI technical committee and the first ORTI specification will soon be released.
The Green Hills Multi 2000 IDE can be hosted on Windows, Solaris, HP-UX and Linux systems.
