Jungo Announces WinDriver / KernelDriver Version 5.0Graphical Hardware Access Interface for Linux and Solaris; Remote Access capabilities under all supported operating systems April 12th, 2001 (Jungo, Israel): - Jungo announced today the release of WinDriver and KernelDriver version 5.0 - the new generation of driver development tools. Jungo's driver development tools offer hardware access and driver code generation capabilities through a rich API. Until now, these were offered through a graphical user interface to Windows users only.Jungo WinDriver / KernelDriver Version 5.0 includes a multi platform Wizard, bringing a graphical driver development environment to Linux and Solaris driver developers as well. Version 5.0 also incorporates a remote hardware access tool under a variety of operating systems. Additionally, further enhancements and bug fixes were made in order to improve the ease of development and the products' stability. WinDriver 5.0 Multi Platform Wizard "WinDriver 5.0 is now a complete development environment of device drivers on all major operating systems, covering the development cycle from the first stages of hardware testing up to and including code generation and debugging of the driver" said Ofer Vilenski, President of Jungo Ltd. "The graphical tools shorten time to market for projects in the Unix world involving hardware and software ". DriverWizard, previously supported under Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2000 and CE, now also supports Linux and Solaris. Remote WinDriver Developers can plug their hardware in on a remote target machine, running on one of the operating systems supported by WinDriver (currently Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000/NT Embedded, Windows CE, Linux, Solaris and VxWorks), and access it from their host development workstation at any location, under Windows NT/2000, Linux or Solaris. Now it is possible to auto-detect the hardware plugged into the remote target machine (including USB devices), test and diagnose it from the host machine and automatically generate the driver source code for the target device. The library of APIs generated by the Wizard is specifically suited to the specific target hardware. Remote WinDriver shortens the development cycle for embedded systems, allowing direct development on the embedded machine from the convenience of the host. Remote WinDriver also eliminates the need to have development teams at different sites or send cards and devices between development stations, thus saving shipment costs and reducing time to market.
