ObjectAda Real-Time Raven V8.3 allows developers to choose between the traditional Aonix IDE for development and the new AonixADT Eclipse plug-in.
Geared to maximise developer ease and efficiency, AonixADT incorporates Ada-project awareness, an Ada-language sensitive editor, Ada-language compile and build capabilities, and a complete Ada debugger interface, enabling Ada developers to enjoy state-of-the-art interface capabilities.
AonixADT is being added to ObjectAda at no additional cost.
"Continued improvement of the ObjectAda product in support of the Ravenscar profile demonstrates Aonix's commitment to support complex and rigorously stressed mission-critical systems with standard software development platforms", noted Gary Cato, Aonix Director of Strategic Alliances.
"Full Eclipse support for hard real-time and safety-critical embedded development adds another great development asset to our product line that our customers are eager to use".
"Such standard platforms take COTS integration to a new level of easy to use and cost-effective solutions".
AonixADT implements plug-ins compatible with Eclipse standards V3.1, 3.1.1 and 3.1.2.
Eclipse is an open-source software development project dedicated to providing a robust, full-featured, commercial-quality, industry platform for the development of highly integrated tools.
A strong supporter of the Eclipse Foundation, Aonix has gone to great lengths to lock-step with evolving Eclipse specifications.
Aonix has released ADT plug-ins with ObjectAda V8.2 native development products for Windows, Intel/Linux, and Sparc/Solaris platforms.
ObjectAda Real-Time Raven for Windows platforms targeting the PowerPC processor family is immediately available.
Prices range from US $15,000 to $30,000, depending on bundle options plus runtime licence fees.
