Wind River ICE

Multicore Debugging
Wind River ICE offers a sophisticated multicore solution that supports the ability to identify and manage 128 simultaneous processor connections, enabling developers to connect to and debug any eight simultaneously. Through its integration with the industry's leading multicontext debugging environment, Wind River Workbench, On-Chip Debugging Edition, Wind River ICE provides an advanced multicore/multiprocessor development solution for resolution of complex debugging challenges.

Remote Debugging
The Ethernet/IP capabilities of Wind River ICE allow it to be located and accessed through an Ethernet/IP network anywhere in the world. The Target Console port enables developers to access serial data information from a serial port on the target device, allowing them to monitor predetermined information coming from the target.

Flexible and Extendable Platform
Development teams can easily leverage the flexible and extendable capabilities of Wind River ICE across the entire development life cycle. Through its integration with Wind River Workbench and the Wind River On-Chip Debugging API, Wind River ICE can also be used in the manufacturing test stages of development. The tool supports modular upgrades for additional capabilities and support as project development requirements evolve.

RoHS/WEEE Compliance
All products shipped by Wind River are in compliance with European Union RoHS and WEEE requirements.

Features

• Enable Flash programming
• Provide real-time operating system (RTOS) awareness for VxWorks and Linux target support
