The Wind River Workbench On-Chip Debugging's powerful IDE-based diagnostic capabilities unlock the power of the enterprise class, multicore enabled Wind River ICE 2 network-based JTAG emulator, and the portable Wind River Probe USB-based JTAG emulator.

Working with Wind River can significantly improve your odds for success. A stable, publicly held company, Wind River provides a complete solution for device software development. In addition to Workbench, our solution includes Wind River Customer Support, a Support Center Practices–certified organization, our CMMI Level 3–certified Professional Services organization, and an extensive ecosystem of partners

From hardware and board initialization to device management, Workbench offers deep capability throughout the development process in a single integrated environment, with complete platform integration and tools for debugging, code analysis, advanced visualization, root-cause analysis, and test. Wind River Workbench integrates the industry's most powerful development tools to monitor, analyze, and debug at each phase of development, providing early detection of potentialdefects and increasing the overall quality and reliability of your product. Workbench's support for multiple operating systems, architectures, and programming languages gives companies unprecedented flexibility to standardize on a single development framework across the enterprise. Workbench offers tightly coupled analysis and instrumentation tools for Wind River frameworks, so customers have only one tool suite to purchase and manage for both VxWorks and Linux development.

Workbench can be extended via IPL Cantata++ (formerly Wind River Workbench Unit Tester), a plug-in for unit testing, code integration testing, and test coverage analysis. Also, Workbench On-Chip Debugging aids system developers early in the development cycle, while Wind River ICE and Wind River Probe provide hardwarebased debugging capabilities.

The following are additional components for enhancing developer productivity with Workbench:

• Wind River Compiler enables developers from all industries to create exceptionally fast, tight code for their device software applications. This product combines industry-leading optimization technology with the flexibility and control required to fully exploit today's complex embedded CPUs. Close relationships with silicon partners make it possible for Wind River to provide highly optimized compilers for new silicon with short lead times, enabling customers to immediately gain maximum performance from their investment.
• Wind River Workbench On-Chip Debugging is designed to meet the needs of developers early in the device software development cycle-handling initial board bring-up and validation, developing device drivers, incorporating low-level software capabilities, and developing C/C++ applications. This edition offers a feature-rich development suite optimized for the capabilities of JTAG-based debugging, using Wind River ICE and Wind River Probe . Where a target operating system is involved, target OS awareness extends the on-chip debugging capabilities of Workbench to include support for VxWorks 5.5/6.x and Linux.
• IPL Cantata++ is a set of tools provided by IPL that enables developers to more efficiently complete unit testing, integration testing, and code coverage analysis on the tests. Integration between IPL Cantata++ software and the rest of the Workbench development suite places these capabilities within easy reach of every developer. IPL Cantata++ helps increase software quality, decrease time-to-market, and reduce support costs through better, faster, more automated testing during the development life cycle. IPL Cantata++ is available as an add-on to Wind River Workbench as well as for host operating systems and non-Wind River platforms.
