Aonix released enhanced version of Ada for LynxOS RTOS

Aonix has released ObjectAda for Linux hosts targeting PowerPC embedded and real-time systems running the LynuxWorks LynxOS 4.2 RTOS. With enhanced edit, build, and debug facilities, ObjectAda speeds Ada application development using Linux. Ada is exclusively used in safety- and mission-critical applications such aerospace and defence.

ObjectAda Real-Time for LynxOS includes an enhanced linker to reduce link time. The Ada debug facility enables more efficient use of functions to step into and out of protected subprograms. Upgraded support for GDB/MI mixed-code disassembly and interspersion of disassembled code with sources is included and improved multi-language debug support for C and Ada code are also provided to speed cross language test cycles.

ObjectAda Real-Time targeting Power Architectures running LynuxWorks' LynxOS 4.2 is immediately available starting at $15K in the U.S. with quantity discounts available. Support for LynxOS 5.0 will be determined based on customer requirements.
