Benefits

Memory protection flexibility

With GNAT Pro for VxWorks 6 you can generate Kernel Modules as well as Real-Time Processes (RTPs), thus taking advantage of the capabilities of Wind River’s Real-Time Operating System.

Development environment options

Choose between two powerful integrated environments:

GNAT Programming Studio (GPS)
GPS is a comprehensive Integrated Development Environment that has been successfully used to build and maintain systems comprising more than one million lines of code. Seamlessly integrated with VxWorks, GPS provides a one-click switch between native and cross environments.

Plug-in for Wind River Workbench
The AdaCore plug-in, developed with close collaboration with Wind River, takes advantage of the Eclipse and Wind River plug-in framework to provide Workbench users with a fully integrated Ada solution.

Inclusion of source code

Full source code is provided for GNAT Pro, allowing you to see how the run-time libraries implement dynamic Ada features in the context of the VxWorks kernel.

Performance

Ada run-time features (memory management, tasking, I/O) map directly and efficiently onto the underlying VxWorks kernel routines.

Key Features

Implementation of all versions of Ada: Ada 2005, Ada 95, Ada 83
