It tackles multi-language, multi-target projects withease, allows large teams to work in concert across varied development hosts andsimplifies programming tasks to help you meet tight deadlines.

If all you need is a basic development environment, then QNX Momentics StandardEdition (SE) is for you. It lets you complete simpler projects cost-effectively, usinga standard, command-line GNU toolchain.

Whatever edition you choose, Professional or Standard, one thing holds true:QNX Momentics lets you harness the legendary reliability and performance ofthe QNX Neutrino RTOS.

B O O S T Y O U R P R O D U C T I V I T Y T H R O U G H T I G H T LYI N T E G R AT E D T O O L SWith QNX Momentics PE, you get a remarkably pliable, task-oriented userinterface. The IDE provides wizards, shortcuts, a built-in search engine, projectmanagement and integrated versioning.

All tools share one user interface to get you up to speed quickly. Inthe IDE, all tools — even third-party tools — share the same user interface. Noneed to learn a different look-and-feel for every tool you plug in. Better yet,commands, navigation and help systems all work the same way under Windows,Solaris and QNX Neutrino hosts.

Tools work in concert to eliminate tedious programming tasks. Tools inthe IDE workbench work together seamlessly and share the same contextthroughout the development cycle. For instance, when the memory analysistool displays an allocation error, you simply click on the error and the IDE willimmediately switch to the debugger. And because tools can share the sameview, navigation is easy — you never have to wade through an array of openwindows to find the tool you want.

YOU’LL FIND QNX MOMENTICS REMARKABLY EASY TO LEARN, SINCE ALL OF THE

TOOLS IN ITS INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT (IDE) SHARE THE SAME

USER INTERFACE. MOREOVER, THE IDE IS BUILT ON THE OPEN, EXTENSIBLE

ECLIPSE FRAMEWORK, SO YOU CAN INTEGRATE NEW TOOLS SEAMLESSLY.

ABOVE ALL, QNX MOMENTICS GIVES YOU CHOICE: BUILD FOR VARIOUS TARGETS

(x86, MIPS, PowerPC, ARM, StrongARM, XScale, SH-4), USING YOUR PREFERRED

LANGUAGE (C, C++, EMBEDDED C++, JAVA) AND DEVELOPMENT HOST

(WINDOWS, SOLARIS OR SELF-HOSTED ON QNX® NEUTRINO®).

Tight OS integration provides more detailed information. The microkernelin the QNX Neutrino RTOS offers an enormous amount of system andprocess state information. Since we’ve designed QNX Momentics to workspecifically with QNX Neutrino, you can detect potential deadlock situations by examining the graphical representation of the blocking relationships among processes — especially important in the QNX Neutrino message-passing environment.

Local history feature gives you freedom to experiment. The IDE’s localhistory feature gives you the confidence to experiment and stretch your creativity.If a prototype doesn’t work out, no problem — the IDE can automatically revertto your previous version. And should you somehow delete a project, you canre-create the lost work quickly, since the IDE saves local history back-ups.

The source debugger andmemory analysis tools areintegrated within the same view.

f

Automated task list makes it a snap to trackand fix errors. The IDE also manages markers thatare used to attach notes, tasks and errors. Forinstance, the debugger and compiler canautomatically load error messages directly into asortable task list. Simply click on an error, and the editor will display the offending source line — no need to wade through lines of code.

Context-sensitive tools provide instant accessto information. In the IDE, tools are context-aware.For instance, if you “hover” the cursor over a variabledisplayed in an editor, you’ll see the variable’stype. If you do the same thing in the debugger, you’llsee the variable’s contents.

Persistent views let you pick up where you left off. When you quit QNX Momentics and thenrestart it, window layouts, open files and evenbreakpoints re-appear just as you left them. Younever have to start from scratch.

C O M P R E H E N S I V E T O O L S FA S T- T R A C K Y O U R D E V E L O P M E N T QNX Momentics provides all the tools you need forend-to-end development. With QNX MomenticsProfessional Edition, you get:

C, C++, Embedded C++ and Java codedeveloper tools These include:

• Wizards For jump-starting new projects based on C, C++, Embedded C++, Java orthe Photon application builder (PhAB™). Thewizards can populate the project source code,build directories and all relevant files andautomatically compile the project for you.

• C, C++, Embedded C++ and Java editorsThese provide syntax and keyword highlighting,along with undo, cut and paste, language-specific indentation and bracket matching.

System builder tool Lets you build customizedbootable images for your embedded system. Thesystem builder includes a browser to help you quicklyselect binaries, DLLs and libraries for your systemimage. It also tracks library dependencies and willprompt you for any missing components. What’smore, it helps minimize the memory footprint of yourapplication by letting you remove unnecessaryfunctionality from shared libraries.

Target navigator view Provides a uniform wayof connecting to remote target systems, and gives alive graphical listing of processes on each target.

Target agent A “connection broker” that allowsthe target navigator running on a host to commu-nicate with one or many target systems. As with anyother driver in a QNX system, you can start and stop the target agent dynamically. The agent supportscommunication over Ethernet, serial, JTAG or aROMulator.

Target information tool Lets you monitor remotetargets, both in the lab and in the field. You can access a wealth of information, including threads, CPU usage, memory usage and open filedescriptors — for the system at large or for aparticular program.

Debug multiple processeson multiple targetssimultaneously, even if the processes are coded in multiple languages.

• Outline page Displays the declaration structure (functions, variables,structures and classes) of the current source file, which is updated as youedit. With the outline and editor open side-by-side, you can jump directly tothe right spot in a source file simply by clicking on a function or variable.

• Code completion Start typing a word, hit a hotkey and the IDE providescompletions for the expression you partially typed.

Source debugger tool Lets you debug multiple processes simultaneously,even if they’re written in multiple languages and distributed across multipletargets. The debugger includes a wizard that helps you decide which programsto launch on which targets and with what options. The debugger can also attachto any running process and perform post-mortem analysis of core dump files.

The debugger supports the following views: variables; data watch; stack trace;memory; register; and breakpoints (conditional and counting, stepping[over/into/return], and run to cursor).

The memory analysis toollets you quickly detect common errors, such asbuffer overruns and invalidde-allocations.

The profiler provides callpairing to reveal dynamiccall trees for highlightingexecution structure.

fSource control tool Lets you manage your own source base as well as providethe changes to your team. You can browse the revision history of files, comparedifferent versions and determine the changes made by team members. QNX Momentics supports CVS out of the box, and because the IDE frame-work is open and extensible, you can plug in third-party tools based on Eclipse,such as Rational® ClearCase®.

Photon application builder (PhAB™) tool A visual design tool that lets you generate a complete working prototype of your application’s user interface — without having to write a line of code. PhAB includes a rich paletteof easy-to-customize user controls (widgets) and a language editor that allows a single application binary to support multiple international languages(PhAB is supported on Windows and QNX Neutrino only).

ADDITIONAL TOOLS FUEL PRODUCTIVITY

Profiler tool Shows at a glance where a processspends its time, letting you quickly pinpoint ineffi-cient code and algorithms. Besides support forstatistical profiling, the profiler supports call pairingto reveal dynamic call trees to help highlightexecution structure. It can also provide statistics formultiple processes and multiple targets, as well asfor shared libraries.

Memory analysis tool Provides a process-levelview to help you quickly identify the memory mapof your program. It helps identify problems inheap memory by showing the total number of bytesand blocks that are free, allocated and in use.
