Development solution for USB device manufacturers

Jungo Software Technologies and Computer Access Technology Corp have formed a partnership to provide a comprehensive verification and development solution for USB device manufacturers.

Jungo Software Technologies and Computer Access Technology Corp (CATC) have formed a partnership to provide a comprehensive verification and development solution for USB device manufacturers.

Jungo's suite of driver development and hardware access tools, including WinDriver and KernelDriver, combined with CATC's portfolio of USB bus and protocol analysers, including USBTracer, Advisor, Chief and Inspector, significantly enhance USB hardware and software development and verification.

USB device development is a complex, multistep process involving hardware test and verification, fault diagnosis, low level programming that exercises the protocol and operating system, followed by kernel mode debugging to develop a driver that controls and accesses the device.

CATC and Jungo provide complementary tools that simplify this tedious task and address all relevant aspects of the development process.

Jungo's user-friendly wizard detects USB hardware and enables developers to immediately read and write to USB pipes prior to developing a driver.

CATC's bus and protocol analysers capture, filter, decode and display bus communication traffic, including the packets generated by WinDriver's wizard, in easily understood, colour-code data groupings.

Once the hardware is validated, software engineers can develop a driver with confidence.

Jungo driver development tools require no knowledge of operating system internals or kernel level development.

WinDriver and KernelDriver provide the developer with graphical development environments and enable automatic generation of fully functional driver code, APIs, diagnostics, debug utilities, and samples.

"Jungo provides tools that assist hardware and software manufacturers in the efficient design of reliable USB devices, enabling them to focus on application development and increasing developer efficiency", said Ophir Herbst, general manager of the Software Tools Division at Jungo.

"Combining Jungo's driver development expertise with CATC's protocol analysers creates a comprehensive verification and development solution that significantly simplifies the development cycle resulting in faster time-to-market".

"We are pleased that Jungo has selected CATC's bus and protocol analysers to complement their driver development tools", said Mark Abbas, USB Product Manager at CATC.

"As USB devices penetrate more complex applications as well as enable lower cost, portable device connectivity, manufacturers are demanding integrated solutions that accelerate development and market entry.

Jungo's driver development tools are an excellent complement to CATC's powerful bus and protocol analysers".

CATC now ships its USB bus and protocol analysers USBTracer, Advisor, Chief and Inspector with Jungo's WinDriver and KernelDriver driver development evaluation kits.
