MontaVista DevRocket is the Integrated Development Environment that supports MontaVista Linux Platform and Application development. DevRocket delivers a set of tools designed to streamline and automate common embedded Linux development and analysis tasks. Previously based on Eclipse, and now a set of standard Eclipse plug-ins, DevRocket significantly increases developer productivity by simplifying the complex development tasks of embedded Linux. DevRocket 5.0 plug-ins can work within any standard Eclipse (Callisto based) platform.

Edition Management

DevRocket 5, now shipping with Professional Edition 5.0, is available for download for all active MontaVista subscribers and supports toolchains (i.e. compiler, debuggers, etc.) from previous MontaVista Linux versions and editions. Edition Management provides the capability to browse for existing MontaVista Linux installations and discovers which edition/version is installed and which toolchains and LSPs are available. This service also supports the unique feature to dynamically select a toolchain within a single project. Edition Management discovers and supports all 3.1, 4.x, and 5.0 versions of MontaVista Linux.

Target Management

DevRocket 5 utilizes the open source Eclipse target management project called Remote Systems Explorer. MontaVista created and contributed back an SSH implementation for RSE that allows target management on any MontaVista Linux target using the industry standard SSH protocol to support a wide range of target services, including file and process management, remote terminal/shell, and fully automated debugging and analysis.

Fully Automated Edit/Compile/Debug

DevRocket delivers a streamlined and fully automated edit/compile/debug cycle, eliminating the multiple manual steps involved in building binaries, copying them to a target, launching the debug sever, and connecting back to the host. Easily support multiple MVL editions and versions with completely automated target delivery setup and debug capabilities. Dynamically switch between discovered tool-chains and targets to ease porting and support for multiple CPU architectures.

Advanced Analysis

DevRocket 5 delivers intuitive, interactive, and accessible interfaces to configure, manage, execute, and present results from best-of-breed FOSS Linux analysis tools such as MPatrol, OProfile, LTTng, and /proc filesystem. Massive productivity gains are realized when solving common analysis questions such as: How much memory is my system using and how? Where are my system and application performance bottlenecks? What is the source of my memory leak? Which events have transpired on the system and why?

Previous DevRocket Versions

DevRocket 5 supports previous MontaVista Linux versions through the new edition and target management services providing full access to supported toolchains and targets. Advanced analysis interfaces work on previous editions when the required user packages and kernel support is enabled. Additionally, DevRocket 2 fully supports 4.x versions and DevRocket 1 supports 3.1 versions with reduced functionality.
