Hello,
I am a student from a school in Holland and my task is research development
tools for the QNX and VxWorks platforms. The company who wants the research
done makes software for industrial Pick & Place machines, they want a
real-time enviroment where they can give time critical specifications for
procedures. Preferred languages are C++ and Java. Another question is if
there is a feature in the tool to test the generated code if it meets the
time requirements made.
Maybe this all sounds stupid and there are no real-time development tools,
or just compilers. Ive found the CodeWarrior and some other tools already
but before i am going to spend time on researching those i would like to
hear the opinion of the guys that work with those tools ‘in the field’.
Thanks in advance for your reaction,
Thijs Hodiamont
One of the tools you should look at is Rhapsody. This is a UML design tool
that generates code for the selected operating system. There is also a
capability to generate test cases to verify code, but I think for timing
benchmarks, you will need to use the tried and true method of setting
watchdog timers.
