Developers can quickly and easily retrieve extensive OS object information. Unlike other shells, WindSh can interpret and execute almost all C-language expressions, including direct calls to functions and references to variables whose names are found in the system symbol table. Interpreted C statements provide a very powerful interface for debugging the target application. For even more versatile shell scripting and target control, WindSh includes complete Tcl and C interpreters. These allow the shell to be extended and customized.
Developers can add new commands or complete tools, and modify display mechanisms.
Powerful scripting, execution control, target access, and user-customizable features make the shell a versatile tool for developers performing quick prototyping or target and application testing. The powerful WindView diagnostic and analysis tool provides detailed visibility into application software as it runs on the actual target hardware. By capturing events in real-time, WindView allows developers to study the dynamic interaction of all elements of a complex system. The view graph window, which displays results from data collections, allows developers to scroll back and forth in time, zoom in on specific intervals, and filter different event classes. Developers can quickly click to add WindView to the system, relink the application, and download.
