The TimeMachine debugging suite extends the range of Green Hills Software’s popular MULTI integrated development environment (IDE) by providing a window into the complex interactions in software that can result in bugs, performance problems, and testing nightmares. By presenting this information in easy-to-understand displays, TimeMachine enables developers to quickly navigate through trace data and produce better code in less time. With TimeMachine you can debug both forward and backward in time, making it easier to find even the hardest time. Make your software run faster than you thought possible by examining program execution history to find previously unknown bottlenecks. Accelerate debugging by stepping backward a single step at a time into functions you've already stepped over. Leverage gigabytes of execution history to verify that your program has been fully tested.

Cybersecurity of connected embedded system devices has always been important, especially for systems supporting high availability, mission-critical applications. In today’s heightened cyber threat environment, connected embedded systems for industrial controls, transportation, navigation, communications, aerospace, military applications, healthcare devices, logistics systems and many others require uncompromising security at deployment and throughout their product life cycles. To compensate for go-to-market pressures, many connected embedded system product developers rely on third-party software components, including open source or proprietary licensed components to address foundational product functions. Traditional security audits take place at the end of development and testing, right before products are released.

Automating the creation and deployment of component test harnesses, test stubs and test drivers is a cinch thanks to OneTest Embedded. With a single click from any development environment, one can profile memory and performance, analyze code coverage and visualize program execution behavior. Additionally, OneTest Embedded helps be more proactive in debugging, while identifying and assisting in fixing code before it breaks. Allows for a virtual cycle of test generation, while executing, reviewing and testing improvement to rapidly achieve full test coverage. One click is all it takes to build, execute on the target, and generate reports. Helps preempt performance issues and program crashes. Additionally, can be adapted to work with custom memory management methods used in embedded software. Provides visibility on thread execution and switching to develop a deep understanding of the behavior of the system under test.

Simcenter Embed is a Siemens block diagram and state chart environment designed for embedded firmware development and hardware-in-the-loop prototyping. It helps users build, simulate, test, and automatically generate code for embedded control systems. The software supports electric motor control, digital power design, and image and video processing with libraries and on-chip peripheral support. Simcenter Embed reduces manual coding by converting block diagrams and state charts into hardware-ready MCU code. Users can simulate controller and plant behavior, tune controllers offline, and use integrated HIL testing to debug and validate embedded systems on target hardware. With efficient ANSI C code generation, real-time monitoring, and support for popular microcontrollers, Simcenter Embed helps teams speed up embedded system development.

Capital Embedded AR Classic is Siemens’ implementation of the AUTOSAR Classic standard basic software for automotive embedded systems. It is designed to help automotive engineers manage the growing complexity of in-vehicle software development. Capital Embedded AR Classic supports multiple AUTOSAR Classic releases and is validated for ISO 26262 functional safety use cases up to ASIL D. The platform provides robust support for key automotive communication protocols such as LIN, CAN, CAN-FD, Ethernet, and FlexRay. It enables efficient multibus gateway implementations and supports multicore architectures. Engineers can distribute software components and basic software across multiple partitions for optimal performance. Capital Embedded AR Classic helps organizations accelerate time-to-market while delivering high-quality, reliable embedded software.

Metalware allows engineers to rapidly understand the hardware and write code by combining insights from datasheets and SDKs. We generate an Intermediate Representation (IR) which is a structured data file generated from documents describing a programmable part, containing a register map for HAL generation and device metadata for compiler lookup of device invariants. This IR enables the implementation of the target RTOS or SDK's API by identifying registers and their layout, whether contiguous or FIFO-backed, etc based on the device metadata. Automatically generate implementation code (HAL, header files) for your target RTOS or SDK.

MPLAB® X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is an expandable, highly configurable software program that incorporates powerful tools to help you discover, configure, develop, debug and qualify embedded designs for most of our microcontrollers and digital signal controllers. MPLAB X IDE works seamlessly with the MPLAB development ecosystem of software and tools, many of which are completely free. No need to purchase extra visualizations tools since real-time streaming data can be viewed in Data Visualizer. Pin states can be verified and manipulated with I/O View for fast hardware verification. Save time with useful links to software libraries, datasheets and user guides that are provided automatically. Includes the MPLAB Integrated Programming Environment (IPE) for production-level programming. MPLAB X IDE brings a host of features to help you quickly debug your projects and minimize your development time.
