Quadros Systems Announces VisualRTXC Design Tool

Easy-to-use graphical design environment speeds embedded development and lowers software costs

Embedded Systems Conference, Boston, MA - September 18, 2007 - Addressing the realities of shorter design cycles for systems of ever-increasing complexity, Quadros Systems, Inc., a leading supplier of configurable and scalable real-time operating systems (RTOS), today announced the new VisualRTXC design tool. This powerful visual design environment works with the RTXC Quadros RTOS to dramatically reduce development time for embedded systems. VisualRTXC offers a highly intuitive user interface and high-level intelligent design objects that are tightly coupled to the underlying kernel architecture. The result is an easy-to-use, powerful design tool that allows the developer to rapidly move between design concepts and generated C code.

Industry surveys consistently report that more than 50% of embedded software projects fall behind schedule. Engineering managers must either rely on traditional hand-coding methods or make a major investment in high-end modeling tools. VisualRTXC provides the efficiency of a high level design tool with a practical implementation that fits neatly into any software design process. It provides a visual abstraction and design aids for each of the typical design phases of the software development life cycle, including functional design, detailed design, coding and documentation.

With VisualRTXC, designers visualize their design with intuitive objects and flowcharts, generate ANSI C code and then document the entire project using a sophisticated graphical environment. This powerful tool takes full advantage of the power and scalability of the RTXC Quadros RTOS. The combined solution enables rapid prototyping, improves team communications and lowers software maintenance costs.

“Our customers are trying to build systems of increasing complexity while using tool technology from the last century,” said Tom Barrett, founder and CEO of Quadros Systems, Inc. “Better tools combined with a better way to view and manage projects are a necessity in today’s embedded projects.”

VisualRTXC can be used as a quick prototyping tool, or as a complete development environment when coupled with compilers, linkers and other traditional development tools. Engineering managers can also enjoy amplified engineer productivity with standardized code development across team members allowing for the ease of sharing projects and the ability to organize complex system development. With globalized software development now a common practice, the graphical nature of VisualRTXC can help overcome language barriers between team members, improving communications and simplifying project management.

VisualRTXC is fully integrated with Quadros Systems’ powerful kernel configuration tool, RTXCgen, so users can scale the kernel and define the necessary kernel objects, properties and attributes to meet the specific needs of the application.

Availability

The VisualRTXC Design Tool is available now with single seat licenses priced starting at $2990. Multi-seat licenses are also available. To obtain more information about VisualRTXC or other Quadros products, please visit www.quadros.com.
