• Eclipse Based IDE Tool Development:

  IDE based tools for providing specific functionality have gained popularity over the last couple of years. Companies (and groups within) prefer IDE based tools since different applications can be brought under one umbrella.

  IDE based tools using Eclipse have certain advantages:

  • Eclipse is open Source
  • Architecture based on plug-ins, that can be added any time
  • User can work on different type of applications through one single IDE
  • Many critical plugins are available free as open source and can be used as the base for addition of more features e.g. plugins for C++ based development; plugins for embedded development, plugins for XML, reports etc
  • Many commercially available tools provide functionality through plugins for seamless integration into one IDE
  • There is no dependence on a single vendor
  • Will work on non-windows platforms
  • Savings on development time and cost-resulting from in-built features in the platform

  Pathway Technologies Incorporated significant expertise in and has successfully developed such Eclipse based IDE tools for their customers. One such tool is called ACES. This is a framework for development and configuration of embedded applications that cuts down drastically on development time. To read more about ACES tool, please follow this link - ( http://www.cat.com/cda/layout?m=81247&x=7' ).

  The following document provides some more details about the ACES tool: http://www.cat.com/cda/files/337904/7/aces.pdf

  Other than the features mentioned above, the following have been added as a part of the continuing development effort:

  • State Machine based blocks
  • state machine diagrams
  • state machine timers
  • State Machine Code generation
  • Statechart validation and saving the statechart
  • Automatic Slave I/O Message Generation
  • Table editing
  • ELF reader
  • Unit delay feedback
  • Integrated GNU based compiler
  • Repository Management

  Pathway engineers have been instrumental in architecture development and design of this tool. The Eclipse based development has been completely architected by our engineers.
