Pair provide full package for PCI
development
Jungo Software Technologies and Vmetro are working together to provide comprehensive verification and development solutions for PCI-X/PCI, CompactPCI and PMC device manufacturers.
Jungo Software Technologies and Vmetro are working together to provide comprehensive verification and development solutions for PCI-X/PCI, CompactPCI and PMC device manufacturers Jungo's suite of driver development and hardware access tools, including WinDriver and KernelDriver, combined with Vmetro's Vanguard family of PCI-X/PCI, CompactPCI and PMC bus analysers/exercisers, offer PCI developers enhanced hardware and software development and verification solutions PCI-X/PCI device development is a complex, multistep process involving hardware testing 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

Driver development toolkit takes on National USB
Jungo Software Technologies has produced a driver development toolkit for National Semiconductor's USB device family.
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.
"Vmetro and Jungo provide a winning combination for the hardware/software PCI development team by providing tools that address all aspects of the development cycle - hardware construction is aided by Vmetro analysers, followed by software development facilitated by Jungo's tools", said Stein Erik Maurice, Vmetro's Bus Analysers Product Manager.
"Jungo strives to add value to its customers with a partnership portfolio that spans PCI bridge and core vendors, and now a leading PCI analyser vendor, Vmetro, thereby providing added value to Jungo customers by ensuring its customers' accessibility to tools that address their specific PCI development needs", said Ophir Herbst, Jungo's Software Tools Division General Manager.
Vmetro is now shipping the Vanguard PCIbus analyser, its fifth generation of PCI analyser products.
These analysers are shipping with 30-day full featured evaluation versions of Jungo's WinDriver and KernelDriver driver development kits.
