SUNNYVALE, Calif., Mar. 25, 2004 MontaVista Software Inc., the company powering the embedded revolution, and RTI, maker of the embedded industrys most popular dynamic debugging and visualization tools today announced RTI ScopeTools for the popular MontaVista® Linux® operating system and the MontaVista® DevRocket development environment.
Developers building devices with MontaVista Linux can now leverage a world-class environment and tools to debug and optimize their embedded applications, said Sheila Baker, vice president, Marketing, MontaVista Software. The RTI ScopeTools complement the rich MontaVista product portfolio plugging into MontaVista DevRocket, to accelerate development and deployment of next-generation intelligent devices.
RTI ScopeTools provide sophisticated performance analysis and debugging capabilities for todays complex embedded applications. MontaVista Software will initially offer three of RTI’s powerful tools, StethoScope – RTI’s original real-time data monitor, ProfileScope – the dynamic profiler, and MemScope – the real-time memory analyzer.
