Expansion for dynamic toolsuite
LynuxWorks has added significantly enhanced features to its Java and Eclipse platforms
LynuxWorks has added significantly enhanced features to its Java and Eclipse platforms that enable developers to build systems that exhibit real-time behaviour and allows them to have complete control over their embedded and real-time applications. Real Time Specification for Java (RTSJ) version 1.0 is an industry standard set of extensions that allows developers of LynuxWorks' RTOS, LynxOS, to bring real-time functionality to their Java Basic systems.

RTSJ brings the advantages of the existing Java platform including binary portability, dynamic code loading, tool support, safety, security and simplicity to the RTOS market.
LynuxWorks developers can now build on the benefits of Java and fulfil all their Java real-time needs.
The new LynuxWorks Eclipse-based IDE is a Linux and Solaris-based development environment, powered by the Eclipse platform that provides developers of LynuxWorks' BlueCat Linux with complete control over creating, editing, compiling, managing and debugging C/C++ and Java embedded and real-time applications.
Developers also benefit from a target connection wizard to simplify target setup, an application wizard that jump starts development and a cross process viewer enabling users to view all the processes and threads on a specific target.
The Eclipse IDE offers developers a choice in their preferred development environment by extending support to LynuxWorks' premium tools, TotalView, a multiprocess embedded debugger for LynxOS, and SpyKer, an embedded system trace tool.

The Eclipse IDE also enables development on the Linux 2.6 kernel.
LynuxWorks will shortly release the latest version of VisualLynux 5.0, which adds the Visual Studio.NET look and feel, creating a familiar environment for existing VisuaStudio.NET users.
VisualLynux 5.0 can be used for development on the Linux 2.6 kernel.
"LynuxWorks continually strives to increase the value and ease of use of development tools by providing developers with toolset enhancements specifically designed to provide real-time functionality and ease of use and control over their development environment", said Bob Morris, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, LynuxWorks.
"RTSJ, the Eclipse toolset and VisualLynux offer exceptional value and support for developers and enables them to develop, debug, deploy their embedded designs faster.
In addition to driving the next wave of Linux adoption by providing tools for the Linux 2.6 kernel, LynuxWorks' tools are also open-standards based so they work with the full product line - from Linux to LynxOS".
Capable of development on the Linux 2.6 kernel, the new tools represent LynuxWorks' continued commitment to meet the needs of its customers by continuing to allow developers to take advantage of improved real-time performance.
The increased real-time behaviour of Linux 2.6 is becoming the standard for Embedded Linux developers.
