 Standards-based embedded design platforms provider QNX Software Systems, Ottawa, recently released the latest update to its Momentics development suite, based on new versions of the Eclipse framework and the Eclipse C/C++ Development Tools (CDT) code base.
Changes include a series of major enhancements to the user interface, responsiveness, functionality, and reliability of the suite’s integrated development environment (IDE).
Eclipse-based plug-in tools have also been augmented, with better interrupt-handling capabilities for the system profiler, and deeper traceback and leak detection in the memory analysis tools for advanced debugging.
According to QNX, the Momentics Professional Edition 6.3.0 Service Pack 2 release takes Eclipse-based development for embedded projects to a new level. Tight integration with the firm’s Neutrino real-time operating system (RTOS) provides high optimization levels, for faster development, error detection, and code optimization.
 QNX standard commercial customized Eclipse plug-ins include a code dietician that reduces memory footprint by removing unnecessary functionality from shared libraries, and an application profiler that pinpoints problem algorithms and identifies functions needing optimization.
“QNX continues to set the standard for delivering the true promise of Eclipse-based development,” Dave Curley, QNX vice president of marketing, says. “QNX was the first to market with a commercial implementation of an Eclipse IDE in 2002, and since then we have evolved the QNX Momentics development suite into the richest Eclipse tool suite available to developers.”
Third-party products such as Klocwork’s static analysis tools and Intel’s C/C++ compiler seamlessly integrate into the QNX IDE.
