DDC-I's SCORE Compilers Available to Wind River Workbench Developers Targeting VxWorks 6.3

Safety-critical Ada, C, and EC++ applications developed using SCORE for Workbench can now run in real time under VxWorks

Phoenix, AZ. July 26, 2006. DDC-I, a leading supplier of development tools for safety-critical applications, today announced the availability of its SCORE® compilers for the Wind River Workbench, an eclipse-based development suite, and Wind River's VxWorks real-time operating system. The integration enables developers working within a Wind River Workbench environment to utilize SCORE tools to develop mixed Ada, C, and Embedded C++ applications for deployment on VxWorks target systems.

"The SCORE toolset addresses all aspects of safety-critical application development, debugging, testing, and deployment on VxWorks target systems," said Bob Morris, president and CEO of DDC-I. "Now, developers can utilize the SCORE tools within a Wind River Workbench environment to develop mixed language applications, with full access to advanced tools such as dynamic visual process, task, and thread debugging, system analysis and validation."

"Wind River is committed to delivering a standards based development suite that provides multi-language support in a single development environment," said Steve LaPedis, vice president of strategic alliances, Wind River. "With DDC-I's SCORE tools tightly integrated with Wind River's Workbench development suite, C, C++ and Ada development can all be supported in a single environment. This integration enables developers to create reliable, optimized code for a broad range of safety-critical applications targeting VxWorks systems."

SCORE provides optimizing compilers for Ada, C, Embedded C ++, and Fortran77, all of which pass the applicable ACATS, PlumHall, Perennial, and FCVS compiler validation suites. To support VxWorks, DDC-I has mapped its own bare run-time system to VxWorks, including all system calls, multitasking, and interrupt processing facilities. In this implementation, SCORE kernel calls are mapped to VxWorks calls, and Ada tasks are mapped to VxWorks tasks.
