| <h3>Eclipse TCF (Target Communication Framework)</h3> |
| |
| <div id="introText"> |
| |
| <p> |
| The TCF Project provides a modular service-based communication system for building control, debug, and analysis |
| tools for embedded systems. TCF clients and services can discover each other at run-time, providing for streamlined |
| out-of-box experience. TCF uses a single communication link for all tooling needs, simplifying target communications |
| setup and ensuring a consistent view of the target state. |
| <br/> |
| TCF can intelligently cache data on the host, reducing communication overhead and improving run-time performance. |
| A reference Eclipse view is available today to help you get started, as well as a complete C/C++ debugger for Linux. |
| The lightweight reference agent under EDL / BSD license is easy to port to other environments such as |
| hardware debuggers, trace units or simulators. Language bindings are available for a range of languages, |
| including C, Java, Python, and Lua, on both the host and the target side. |
| <br/> |
| See the <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/TCF">TCF Wiki</a> for details.</p> |

| <h3>TCF Testimonials</h3> |
| <p><i> |
| By replacing a gdb based debugger with TCF, Xilinx has increased the performance |
| of basic debugger commands up to 50 times, while providing a much more stable product.<br/> |
| The modular and asynchronous approach of TCF is so compelling that we are moving |
| over our JTAG tools to use the same framework.</i><br/><br/> |
