Project facility and configuration tools to shorten development time These tools provide a powerful graphical interface that automates configuration of the VxWorks OS and other components. Automated dependency analysis, size calculations, and an autoscaling wizard minimize development cycles. The project interface simplifies organizing, configuring, and building VxWorks applications, and the project facility automates many aspects of managing a project and configuring VxWorks. Accelerator features include a watch window that allows users to group-watch expressions on tabbed panes. Information is efficiently presented via a docking or floating palette layout.
Developers can spawn and debug tasks on the target run-time system.
The cross-compilers contain several optimizations that allow developers to generate very fast, efficient, compact code. It also manages that environment and provides many administrative functions. Unlike other shells, the Tornado shell can int erpret and execute almost all C-language expressions, including calls to functions and references to variables whose names are found in the system symbol table. Invocation of any subroutine loaded into memory, including VxWorks system and application modules, provides quick prototyping and incremental code development. Testing via dynamic function execution speeds development.
