STWorkbench R4.0.1 for STLinux

STWorkbench is a powerful tool for developing and debugging STLinux applications. It is based on the Eclipse IDE and has been enhanced and optimised for developers working with STLinux and ST SoCs. It can be used for source editing and management, debugging, tracing and profiling in both user space and kernel space. The latest version, STWorkbench R4.0.1 for STLinux, has been available as an update for STLinux-2.3 since September 2009. This latest version is a major new release with significantly enhanced performance and functionality. Some of the highlights are described below.

• The STWorkbench Indexer has been substantially optimised:
  • Tests with STLinux show that it is 32% faster and uses 43% less memory than the previous version
  • As a result, STWorkbench for STLinux is faster, lighter and more stable
  • Linux kernel code is indexed fully and accurately providing advanced navigation and editing features
• The OProfile GUI has been rewritten and is faster, easier to use and uses much less memory
• The KPTrace GUI now supports user space tracing, and advanced navigation features including vertical zoom and hiding quiescent processes
