Updated IDE increases developer productivity

Green Hills Software was one of the first companies to provide a probe and debugger solution that supported multicore debugging. MULTI 7 continues the company’s industry-leading multicore support with advances in automation and ease of configuration, allowing developers to approach multicore debugging in much the same way they approach single-core debugging.

MULTI 7 includes a host of improvements designed to enhance developer productivity. This includes modifications that reduce the time to find performance problems, increase the ease of data sharing with other MULTI users, and refine the interface to improve information density and customisability.

MULTI is the first commercially available IDE to meet the highest standards of functional safety, including IEC 61508:2010, EN 50128:2011 and ISO 26262:2011. In addition, MULTI satisfies both SIL 4 and ASIL D and is certified by TÜV NORD and exida.

“We are increasingly living in a world of multicore devices, but most debugging tools have not fully embraced this fact,” said Nathan Field, Director of MULTI Engineering, Green Hills Software. “MULTI 7 is designed to simplify the inherent complexity of multicore devices while making embedded development faster and easier.”

MULTI 7 is available in September 2015 for Windows, Linux, and Solaris.
