Wind River Tilcon Graphics Suite 5.7
Wind River has announced the availability of its Tilcon Graphics Suite 5.7, a development solution for building and deploying multi-platform graphical user interfaces (GUI) for embedded applications.
The graphics suite extends Wind River's software development portfolio, features tighter integration with Vxworks and is the first version of the Tilcon Graphics Suite to provide standard support for Wind River Linux.
Wind River Tilcon Graphics Suite 5.7 allows manufacturers to produce rich user interfaces for their devices at a lower cost than traditional GUI software.
The process is driven by the solution's Tilcon Interface Development Tool (IDT), allowing users to design, prototype, simulate and test an embedded GUI early in development without coding and before writing any product code.
The Tilcon GUI Engine is a run-time platform that runs on the device's operating system and integrates all device applications, hardware and software with the developed user interface, running applications and processes while displaying the results for the user.
The GUI engine allows graphics changes to be made throughout the process without impacting the underlying application code.
The Tilcon Graphic Suite offers target support packages (TSP) for Vxworks 6.7 and Wind River Linux 3.0.
Additional features of Suite 5.7 include: expanded host support including Windows Vista and Linux; comprehensive tutorials; integration with other Wind River products with a new Wind River Workbench application template, updated Tilcon Scalability Tool integrated with Wind River Workbench and a TSP for Vxworks Simulator; and Consistency with other Wind River products by using Wind River licensing and installer.
