Latest Aonix® ObjectAda™ Release Now Available for VxWorks®/PowerPC Platform

Wind River® RTOS developers demand new ObjectAda 8.2 capabilities

San Diego, CA, Paris, France, December 19, 2005

Aonix®, a provider of solutions for safety- and mission-critical applications, released its latest version of ObjectAda Windows for the PowerPC/VxWorks development environment. The ObjectAda 8.2 port brings significantly enhanced compiler and debug technology to Wind River’s Tornado™ 2.x and VxWorks 5.x environments and boasts an Ada/VxWorks binding that interfaces Ada constructs with VxWorks primitives in the same application.

The Windows-hosted ObjectAda 8.2 improves the underlying Aonix Ada 95 compiler, reducing compile time for the PowerPC/VxWorks platform. As well, ObjectAda 8.2 includes a newly developed capability to attach the symbolic debugger to a running Ada application, which aids VxWorks developers in resolving programming errors discovered after the test and debug phase is completed. Integration with the VxWorks environment is seamless thanks to a specifically developed VxWorks binding that enables Ada tasks and VxWorks tasks to be combined in the same application.

“Impressed with the overall improvements in the ObjectAda 8.2 release, many PowerPC/VxWorks users have requested these capabilities on their platform,” noted Jacques Brygier, VP Marketing of Aonix. “Our customers appreciate the quality of the real-time support we provide through our Ada implementation. Having this available on the VxWorks/PowerPC platform is a real benefit to them as they can take advantage of the performance and productivity capabilities offered by combining the two well-proven technologies.”

ObjectAda 8.2 Windows cross PowerPC/VxWorks is available under the CorePack packaging that includes an Ada 95 compiler, Ada 95 optimizer, partial annex C support, partial annex D support, syntactic editor, graphical and command line interfaces, library configuration tool, program builder, source browsing engine, source registration tool, source un-registration tool, source code reference tool, symbolic debugger, and graphical installer. Online documents in PDF format and sample programs provide the developer with immediate development assistance.

Eclipse integration and compatibility with VxWorks 6.x is expected in the beginning of 2006.
