Eclipse Foundation and Wind River Announce Approval of Eclipse Device Software Development Platform Project </b></span></b></h1> | |
<ul> | |
<li>Top-level Eclipse project proposed by Wind River approved</li> | |
<li>Sub-projects for target management and device debugging initiated</li> | |
</ul> | |
<P>OTTAWA and ALAMEDA, Calif. – June 14, 2005 – The Eclipse Foundation, an | |
open source community committed to the development of a universal development platform, and Wind | |
River Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:WIND), the global leader in Device Software Optimization (DSO), today | |
announced that the Device Software Development Platform (DSDP) project, the top-level Eclipse | |
project proposed by Wind River in March of this year, has been approved by the Eclipse Board of | |
Directors. The DSDP is the first project within Eclipse specifically created to address device | |
software development and is designed to drive a common development platform and value into the DSO | |
developer community. </p> | |
<p>“The Eclipse Board’s decision to approve the Device Software Development Platform | |
project is great news for the Eclipse community,” said Mike Milinkovich, executive director | |
of the Eclipse Foundation, Inc. “The device realm is teeming with software-driven innovation, | |
and we are looking forward to watching this project develop, mature and create even more opportunities | |
for standardization and innovation across the device landscape.” </p> | |
<p>The goal of the DSDP project is to extend the Eclipse platform in order to establish a common | |
framework for integration of the complete set of capabilities required by device software developers | |
and a common set of base functionality that can be enhanced and extended by the Eclipse community. A | |
common platform makes plug-in development more efficient and allows developers to target a greater | |
number of operating systems and devices. As project leader, Wind River is leading a growing community | |
of vendors that collaborate on the definition and implementation of this project, including two | |
sub-projects. As the DSDP project matures, other vendors are encouraged to propose additional | |
sub-projects to further increase the value proposition of Eclipse for device software developers. | |
The first two DSDP sub-projects are: | |
<ul><li><strong>Target management:</strong> Project goal is to develop a common framework to manage device | |
connections. The project will provide an API, data models and views to manage remote | |
ystems, their connections and their services. It provides an abstraction layer to | |
launch and control applications on the device without requiring specific knowledge of | |
the underlying architecture and operating system.</li> | |
<br> | |
<li><strong>Device debugging:</strong> Project goal is to create a better API to support debugging the software running | |
on a device. The project will extend the Eclipse platform with a debug model, interfaces and views that | |
work with the many different debug engines to support conventional, digital signal (DSP) and network | |
processors.</li> | |
</ul> | |
</p> | |
<p>“Wind River is committed to driving standards for this industry and creating solutions for | |
device software optimization that add value to the development process across the development lifecycle | |
and regardless of which operating system the developer chooses,” said Tomas Evensen, chief | |
technology officer, Wind River. “By leading and driving this effort, Wind River is helping to | |
form and shape the outcome of the DSDP project, and in turn, the future of our industry.” </p> | |
<p>Stan Schneider, chief executive officer of Real-Time Innovations commented, “Wind River’s | |
leadership role in creating the DSDP project will help bring participants and supporters with unique | |
valuable contributions to the project, the benefits of using tools based on DSDP will be significant.”</p> | |
<p>"Accelerated Technology has been a leader in embedded software tools under Eclipse with our | |
Nucleus EDGE product," said Robert Day, director of marketing, Accelerated Technology Division, | |
Mentor Graphics. "We are looking forward to contributing to the DSDP project to help bring more | |
device software support into the Eclipse environment."</p> | |
