SANTA BARBARA, CA — February 26, 2008 — Green Hills Software, Inc., the technology leader in device software optimization (DSO) and real-time operating systems (RTOS), today announced the immediate availability of its comprehensive software development solution targeting Texas Instruments’ DM355 DaVinci™ digital media processor. Components of the Green Hills development toolkit include: royalty-free real time operating systems, optimizing C/C++ compilers for ARM®, MULTI® integrated development environment (IDE), DoubleCheck™ integrated static source code analyzer and high-speed JTAG hardware probes.
Electronics manufacturers throughout the world have deployed millions of units developed with Green Hills Software’s compilers, because they trust the quality of the generated code and because they depend on our compiler to exploit the silicon’s optimization features. Smaller code footprint and faster execution translate directly into lower production cost, longer battery life, and higher quality for embedded products, while high-quality code generation avoids costly after-sale product changes or even recalls. Green Hills Software’s compilers lead the world in independent compiler benchmark scores for performance and small footprint of generated code. Green Hills Software Development Tools The MULTI tool suite offers a wide variety of performance, debug, and analysis tools that enable embedded software developers to find and fix bugs faster, optimize with ease, and test with confidence. MULTI and TimeMachine provide unprecedented visibility into the complex interactions in software that can result in bugs, performance problems, and testing nightmares. With more than ten thousand users, such as developers at HP and Toyota, the MULTI integrated development environment is a proven technology for electronic software development. Integrated Static Analyzer DoubleCheck builds on Green Hills Software's 25 years of compiler technology expertise to locate software flaws that lead to security and reliability failures in software. DoubleCheck processes the entire project's source code to find flaws, such as buffer overflows, resource leaks, invalid pointer references, overly complex code (as measured by metrics such as McCabe), and violations of safe language rules such as MISRA 2004. DoubleCheck differs from other static analysis tools by virtue of its speedy analysis time and full integration with the integrated development environment (IDE). By using the advanced debugging capabilities of MULTI in combination with DoubleCheck, developers can automatically detect and quickly remove defects early in the software development process. This drastically reduces time-to-market and leads to much higher quality in the end product. Availability Green Hills Software’s family of operating systems, optimizing C/C++ compilers, advanced debugger, MULTI IDE, and DoubleCheck are available today for DM355-based application development. TimeMachine is available today for the integrated ARM instruction set simulator and supports the embedded trace buffer on the DM355. About the DM355 Digital Media Processor At a price of less than $10, the new TMS320DM355 digital media processor provides HD video performance and double the battery life of today's HD products. The DM355 device is tuned for applications such as digital cameras, IP video cameras, digital photo frames and video baby monitors. The DM355 processor consists of an integrated video processing subsystem, an MPEG-4-JPEG co-processor (MJCP), an ARM926EJ-S core and peripherals.
