Aonix Adds VxWorks/Intel Architecture Target Support to ObjectAda Product Line

ObjectAda Real-Time for Windows x Intel/VxWorks consists of a fully compliant ACATS 2.5 Ada 95 compiler plus supporting tools. It is compatible with Wind River’s VxWorks environment, which comprises the VxWorks operating system and the VxWorks cross development toolset. ObjectAda for VxWorks leverages Wind River Workbench, an Eclipse-based development environment providing developers access to the broad range of tools available through the Eclipse framework. Users also have the option to utilize ObjectAda’s standard graphical or command-line interface. The ObjectAda compilation system is comprised of an integrated language-sensitive editor, source-code browser, compiler with industry-leading compilation speed, debugger and full library manager.

ObjectAda VxWorks provides runtime library support for execution of Ada on Intel Pentium targets via Wind River-supplied board support packages (BSPs), or for execution without target hardware via VxSim, a target simulation facility supplied in the VxWorks distribution. VxSim users can perform initial application execution and testing direct from the Intel/Windows host development platform.

“Aonix has provided Ada development and compilation tools for x86 chips for years,” commented Gary Cato, Aonix director of marketing. “This ObjectAda product is the first support we’ve offered for VxWorks/Intel targets and is a welcome addition to the ObjectAda embedded, real-time and safety-critical line of products. With this product introduction, Aonix now provides ObjectAda products for the full spectrum of Wind River RTOS products and enhances our ability as a Wind River Strategic Software Partner to provide additional platform options for our customers.”
