SystemBase LemonIDE™
Eddy Integrated Development Environment for Embedded Software System Development
SystemBase LemonIDE™ is an Eclipse-based integrated development environment for embedded software that provides GUI (Graphic User Interface) environment in which applications and firmware for real-time Linux system, Lemonix, can be easily developed. It also resolves former problems in TUI based development environment by providing an environment which enables all developing processes such as GNU C/C++ compiler, source code editor, debugger and etc. to be executed on a single program. This means that users don’t have to be familiar with each compiler or debugger’s program commands. Not only does LemonIDE™ provide the convenience to execute successive processes from compiling to debugging with only mouse clicks by providing a unified GUI but it also provides almost every development abilities such as automatic Makefile creation, automatic source completion, remote debugging, plug-in support, target system monitoring and etc. Furthermore, it is provided in both Linux and Windows version so that developers can choose whichever is more convenient for them.
Lemon IDE™ contains following tools:
- LemonIDE™ IDE : Designed to support project-based C/C++ source program editing, cross-compiling, remote execution, connection with GUI builder.
- LemonIDE™ Debugger : Debugs programs developed with LemonIDE™. Supports stop-point based debugging and trace point based debugging which does not need stopping the program.
- Monitoring tools : Shows information on target system’s memory, process, resource, battery usage and etc.
- Target Agent : Executed on target system. Provides functions such as file transmitting or remote execution in connection with host system.
Eddy Utility Program
SystemBase’s self-developed utility programs COM Port Redirector, PortView and TestView are designed for fluent performance of Portbase, Eddy and Wicomm.
- The COM Port Redirector, which can COM-communicate by creating a virtual COM-Port on the controlled PC, can still be used on former control programs controlled by COM-Port.
- PortView, designed for remote monitoring device products, can monitor components needed for function such as status information, serial port status and serial data’s debugging.
- TestView, designed for testing each serial communication products, has wider range of testing communication with its ability to communicate in TCP/UDP Server-Client mode as well as COM communication.
- SNMP is also provided enabling an easy monitor and management of devices connected to a network.
SystemBase commits to long-term end-of-life expectancy for Eddy modules
SystemBase does not have any obsolescence plan for Eddy v2.0 & v2.1 series yet.
Moreover, SystemBase to produce Eddy v2.0 & v2.1 series for at least 5 years from their respective launch date.
SystemBase commits to a minimum end-of-life expectancy for Eddy v2.0 & v2.1 series as follows:
- Eddy v2.0 series EOL: not before 2013
- Eddy v2.1 series : not before 2014
Should you need an even longer EOL expectancy, please contact Trenz Electronic.
