Aonix Adds VxWorks/Intel Architecture Target Support to ObjectAda Product Line
Aonix, a provider of solutions for safety and mission-critical applications, today announced the release of ObjectAda Real-Time 8.4 for Windows, targeting Intel x86 architecture embedded and real-time systems running the Wind River VxWorks real-time operating system (RTOS). Following the release of ObjectAda Real-Time for VxWorks targeting PowerPC architectures earlier this year, this is the second ObjectAda Real-Time release supporting full Ada tasking atop VxWorks via Real-Time Processes (RTP).
ObjeObjectAda 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.”
