'Additionally, this CodeWarrior IDE announcement is the first of a series of new announcements we will be making in 2001 under our new LynuxWorks expanded tools initiative'.

The introduction of the CodeWarrior IDE for LynuxWorks embedded operating systems helps software developers face a myriad of time-to-market quandaries, chief among them are market delivery windows holding developers to aggressive coding/debug schedules and engineers being required to spend time learning a new suite of development tools.

The CodeWarrior IDE edition of LynuxWorks development tools will accelerate the development process by combining an editor, code browser, compiler, linker, and debugger into a single application, all controlled by an easy-to-use, familiar graphical user interface (GUI.) With the CodeWarrior IDE on the Linux or Solaris crossdevelopment host, an application developer can use the project management and stationery capabilities to create a new project and then use the editor and code browsing capabilities to efficiently create application code.

When ready to debug, the developer simply clicks on the debugger selection and it automatically builds the application, if needed, then transparently downloads the executable to the embedded target board running either the LynxOS or BlueCat embedded operating system.

The CodeWarrior IDE will then automatically launch the crossdebugger, and display the debugger GUI on the host system.

This means with a simple click of the mouse, all the necessary actions to build and debug the target application have been performed.

This relieves developers from all the usual cumbersome commands, and most importantly, some of the wasted time in the development phase of a project.

The CodeWarrior IDE Edition of LynxOS Development Tools will be released in May, 2001.

The BlueCat version will be released later in 2001.
