Suite And Toolkit Forge Integrated Multiple OS Development Environment

Sept. 6, 2004

Metrowerks' Code Warrior applies the developmental glue to Enea's new Orchestra package. Orchestra targets multiple-processor applications that employ Linux and the OSE real-time operating system (RTOS). This includes OSE's Link Handler and Gateway, which offers transparent interprocess communication between processors. The OSE Illuminator allows for link monitoring. Orchestra also includes the Polyhedra real-time database for both operating systems. The communication system delivers a method for linking Polyhedra databases on different processors.

The Orchestra Application Development Suite subscription starts at $9995 per developer, per project, per year. The Platform Suite costs $4995. Developers can generate OSE or Linux applications. Starting at $5000, the Evaluation Kits include two PowerPC-based development boards and a PowerTap Pro debug probe, plus a 60-day evaluation version of the two suites. Linux development is royalty-free. Royalty-free or per-copy licensing is available for the OSE RTOS.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.

I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
