OK. Now that I said it, I may do it.
Thanks to Joel at OAR for coming to the plate.
The advent of high integration processors such as the Coldfire parts and the
Hitachi parts means that an entire system can
be built with very few components. I think this is the environment to
concentrate on due to the fact that MANY embedded systems are built this way
and in the past, I think alot of developers, unfamiliar with ADA beleive
that ADA is just too big for this environment.
( or too expensive ? )
I have built Defibrillators and Pacemakers out of evaluation boards that
have formed the basis of products. It is no longer economical to wire wrap
up a prototype board. The eval board becomes the product. I believe this
will be the trend of semiconductor manufacturers in the future. Hitachi
provides the GNU cygnus toolchain ( 99.00 SH1 eval kit ), TI allows you to
do an evaluation of their C2X, C5X etc by providing a very rich environment
with a limited time C compiler Debugger etc. I don;t want to say that the
tools are becoming a commodity, but this sells PARTS.
Enough Rambling...
