In addition to its support for ARM processors, Metrowerks soon expects to extend Linux kernel-level debug capabilities to other architectures, including Motorola's PowerQUICC and ColdFire product families.
Metrowerks' Linux kernel-level debug capabilities help developers shorten design cycles and speed time to market by offering the tools required to review source execution line-by-line, analyse core files and display memory and data structures.
"Until recently, a lack of professional grade tools and design environments hosted by Windows operating systems discouraged wide scale adoption of Linux by traditional embedded developers and major OEMs", said Berardino Baratta, Metrowerks' Chief Technical Officer and Vice President, Linux Solutions Group.
"Over the last year, Metrowerks has introduced robust, proven development tools targeting Linux systems that are building critical mass for embedded Linux.
This trend continues with the kernel-level debugging capabilities of CodeWarrior Development Studio, ARM ISA Edition for Linux Platform Development, Version 2.0, which also gives developers a single integrated environment for all phases of the product creation lifecycle".
