"We are thrilled to be named the primary tools provider for QNX/Neutrino," said Greg Galanos, president and chief technology officer of Metrowerks Inc. "QNX Software came to Metrowerks to access our leading-edge embedded compiler and tools technology, not only for the x86 market where QNX/Neutrino is the world's leading RTOS, but also for QNX/Neutrino running on PowerPC and MIPS. Metrowerks has been one of the most aggressive players in the embedded world in helping developers become more productive and getting embedded software to market faster, and QNX Software adopting CodeWarrior tools is further proof of this."
"By partnering with Metrowerks, we fulfill our mandate of providing an end-to-end business solution based on best-of-class technologies," said Gordon Bell, president of QNX Software Systems. "CodeWarrior allows us to provide QNX developers with solid, consistent development tools, while our RTOS technology provides a fault-tolerant runtime environment proven in everything from Internet appliances to distributed telecom networks. Better yet, CodeWarrior enables our customers to target any of these varied systems using one set of tools."
CodeWarrior for QNX will include CodeWarrior IDE 3.0 with a full suite of powerful development tools, including project manager, class browser, compilers, linkers, editor, and a seamlessly integrated debugger, which means all the powerful editing and project management tools in the IDE are available to the programmer during debug.
