‘Eclipse Ready’ IDE Tools

Wavecom, a provider of embedded wireless communication solutions, has announced that Open AT Software Suite IDE tools are now designed to be Eclipse Ready, using tools from the community. Wavecom's, PC-based development tools used for creating native-embedded ANSI C applications now integrate into Eclipse. Developers who need to combine wireless capabilities provided by Wavecom with specific application software can build programs and debug more easily using Eclipse project for C/C++ Development Tool (CDT), claims the company.

Future application developments can be done with Wavecom's Open AT SDK (Software Development Kit) taking advantage of the Eclipse community. According to the company, this access to the Eclipse community will be available to developers free of charge, without license fees, NRE (Non Recurring Engineering) costs or any additional fees for developer seats.

"The inclusion of Wavecom's Open AT SDK in the Eclipse environment makes overall system development cheaper and easier by allowing customers to reuse open-source parts as well as seamlessly developing their own tools based on Eclipse to test and debug their applications running on Wavecom's Wireless CPUs," stated Jamie Garroch, Wavecom Product Marketing Director.

The new SDK on Eclipse is now available for download by registered customers from Wavecom.
