Device debugging: Project goal is to create a better API to support debugging the software running on a device.

It provides an abstraction layer to launch and control applications on the device without requiring specific knowledge of the underlying architecture and operating system. The project will provide an API, data models and views to manage remote systems, their connections and their services.

Target management: Project goal is to develop a common framework to manage device connections.

As the DSDP project matures, other vendors are encouraged to propose additional sub-projects to further increase the value proposition of Eclipse for device software developers. As project leader, Wind River is leading a growing community of vendors that collaborate on the definition and implementation of this project, including two sub-projects. A common platform makes plug-in development more efficient and allows developers to target a greater number of operating systems and devices. The goal of the DSDP project is to extend the Eclipse platform in order to establish a common framework for integration of the complete set of capabilities required by device software developers and a common set of base functionality that can be enhanced and extended by the Eclipse community. 'The device realm is teeming with software-driven innovation, and we are looking forward to watching this project develop, mature and create even more opportunities for standardization and innovation across the device landscape.' 'The Eclipse Board's decision to approve the Device Software Development Platform project is great news for the Eclipse community,' said Mike Milinkovich, executive director of the Eclipse Foundation, Inc. The DSDP is the first project within Eclipse specifically created to address device software development and is designed to drive a common development platform and value into the DSO developer community. (NASDAQ:WIND), the global leader in Device Software Optimization (DSO), today announced that the Device Software Development Platform (DSDP) project, the top-level Eclipse project proposed by Wind River in March of this year, has been approved by the Eclipse Board of Directors. JThe Eclipse Foundation, an open source community committed to the development of a universal development platform, and Wind River Systems, Inc.

Sub-projects for target management and device debugging initiated.
