Ericsson is using Multi 2000 to develop generic communications platforms for applications such as switches, routers, RNCs and base transceiver stations. Multi supports full run-mode and stop-mode debugging. Run-mode debugging enables developers to stop and debug one or more tasks while the remaining tasks, and the kernel, continue to run.
This enables the running system to be debugged while continuing to process interrupts and transfer data.
Multi is also unique in that it enables Ericsson engineers to debug running, fielded systems using nonintrusive trace points.
This makes it possible to collect valuable information while the system is running, a critical requirement for telecommunication systems that must operate continuously.

The entire Green Hills Software product suite is now available for the ARM Cortex family of processors
Trace points also guard against accidental stoppage of the system via breakpoints, and can be utilised in either an attended or unattended manor.
Multi is fully integrated with Rational Software's Rose RealTime UML modelling system at both the RTOS and debugger levels.
Rose RealTime simplifies development and promotes code reuse by enabling designers to specify their applications using high-level models, and automatically generating the C code for those models.
Multi is then used to compile and debug this code for optimal execution on the target system.
To enhance the debug process, Multi supports coordinated debugger breakpoints between the generated C/C++ source code and the UML model, enabling developers to simultaneously debug within either the UML model or actual source code.
Featuring the industry's fastest and most efficient optimising C/C++ compilers, Multi can also be used to debug code produced by GNU C/C++ and Diab C/C++ compilers that use standard Elf/Dwarf formats.
