<h3>Eclipse TCF (Target Communication Framework)</h3>

<div id="introText">

<p>The TCF Project provides a modular system for communicating with embedded targets end-to-end:
<ul>
  <li><b>Back-end:</b> A lightweight, configurable plain C agent under EDL / BSD license to support auto-discovery, file transfer, terminal access, launching and debugging</li>
  <li><b>Protocol:</b> An extensible standard communication protocol to support proxying, tunnelling, multiplexing and value-adding connections</li>
  <li><b>Language Bindings:</b> talk to your targets from Java, C, Python and Lua - perfect integration of test scripts</li>
  <li><b>Front-end:</b> The Target Explorer plug-ins for discovering and connecting remote systems, file transfer and launching;
    Terminals for remote access; and a fully asynchronous Eclipse/CDT debugger implementation to support high-performance, 
    low-latency robust debugging of multi-core targets.</li> 
</ul>
The most interesting bit about TCF is its <b>modularity to support maximum code re-use</b>. 
You can adopt TCF only for auto-discovery and launching, but keep gdb for debugging by using the
TCF gdb remote launch.<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/>
&mdash; Tomas Evensen, Chief Scientist Embedded Software, Xilinx</p>
