Hardware Bring-Up Tools for Embedded Linux and VxWorks

A Free Seminar by Embedded Solution Partners and Wind River Systems

Your project team has made the decision to use Embedded Linux on your next project but you are hesitant based on the quality of tools available for Linux. A recent EDC survey validates your concerns:

  • >60% indicate their toolsets are "not very good" or "adequate"
  • <20% of developers rated Embedded Linux toolsets "good"
  • Only 5% rated them "excellent"

As a Hardware, Firmware, or Application Developer, you know that the board bring-up stage is something that needs to be done every time that new hardware is developed. You need a solution that will provide a quick and effective way to determine that your hardware is working correctly.

Unlike existing embedded Linux hardware products available today, Wind River's hardware bring-up tools provide embedded developers who choose the Linux kernel with technology innovations that solve their specific bring-up needs.

By providing visibility and access to both the virtual and the physical address space, visionPROBE II gives developers the ability to track Linux virtual access and to control their physical peripherals and memory. Additionally, with its automated boot line feature, the Wind River solution allows developers to run their Linux kernel on their target processor prior to a boot loader being available.

Learn more about the JTAG debug capabilities for Embedded Linux and VxWorks including:

  • Run control
  • Access to physical and virtual memory
  • Register files
  • JTAG commands
  • Interface via JTAG port, freeing Ethernet and serial ports for other uses
  • Kernel level debugging: scheduling, memory allocation, interrupt handler
  • Support for breakpoints in virtual memory: software and internal hardware breakpoints
  • Automated boot line: ability to run kernel without having a boot loader image installed
