Zero-cost licensing for Ada
Aonix has announced a new "zero-cost" licence model for its ObjectAda for Linux product.
The Windows-hosted ObjectAda 8.2 improves the underlying Aonix Ada 95 compiler, reducing compile time for the PowerPC/VxWorks platform.
As well, ObjectAda 8.2 includes a newly developed capability to attach the symbolic debugger to a running Ada application, which aids VxWorks developers in resolving programming errors discovered after the test and debug phase is completed.
Integration with the VxWorks environment is seamless thanks to a specifically developed VxWorks binding that enables Ada tasks and VxWorks tasks to be combined in the same application.
"Impressed with the overall improvements in the ObjectAda 8.2 release, many PowerPC/VxWorks users have requested these capabilities on their platform", noted Jacques Brygier, VP Marketing of Aonix.
"Our customers appreciate the quality of the real-time support we provide through our Ada implementation".
"Having this available on the VxWorks/PowerPC platform is a real benefit to them as they can take advantage of the performance and productivity capabilities offered by combining the two well-proven technologies".
ObjectAda 8.2 Windows cross PowerPC/VxWorks is available under the CorePack packaging that includes an Ada 95 compiler, Ada 95 optimiser, partial annex C support, partial annex D support, syntactic editor, graphical and command line interfaces, library configuration tool, program builder, source browsing engine, source registration tool, source unregistration tool, source code reference tool, symbolic debugger, and graphical installer.
Online documents in PDF format and sample programs provide the developer with immediate development assistance.
Eclipse integration and compatibility with VxWorks 6.x is expected in the beginning of 2006.
ObjectAda Windows cross PowerPC/VxWorks starts at $15,000 and is available immediately for Windows 2000 and XP host platforms and supports Tornado 2.x and VxWorks 5.x running on all PowerPC boards supported by VxWorks.
