Abstract:
1. A software development apparatus for developing software to be executed by a multi-core processor; comprising: a processor core identifier for identifying one of processor cores with which software development information for developing the software is associated; a display processor for displaying, in accordance with an identification result, association between the software development information and the associated processor core in a visually distinguishable manner; and a core color setter for correlating different colors with the respective processor cores, wherein the display processor colors a target element corresponding to a type of the software development information associated with the processor core, in a color correlated with the processor core, and wherein the display processor colors debugging windows associated with the respective processor cores in different colors correlated with the respective processor cores, and colors a line of the debugging window where a program associated with one processor core has been interrupted because of a breakpoint set with respect to another processor core, in a color correlated with said another processor core.
