Host and Target Availability

VADS and Rational Apex

Sharpen your competitive edge with Rational Software Corporation.

VADS

The VADS(R) family consists of VADSself(TM), VADScross(TM), and VADSworks(TM). VADSself provides a complete toolset for self-targeted (native) applications. VADScross provides real-time support for host-to-target development of embedded systems. VADScross includes every tool provided in VADSself, plus additional tools that extend VADS to provide a fast, efficient cross-development system. VADSworks is a version of VADScross that supports the VxWorks runtime executive from Wind River Systems, making VADSworks ideal for VME-based and I/O-intensive applications. Any of the VADS products can be used in conjunction with Rational Apex(R) (see other side), and each product includes a validated compiler, a performance optimizer, a symbolic debugger, a library-management system, a compilation manager, and several additional programming tools. For self-hosted systems, performance profiling and POSIXbindings are also included.

Additional host/target combinations

VADSself, VADScross, and VADSworks are available as off-the-shelf products for most popular hosts and host/target combinations. Other combinations, not shown here, can be created and supported as standard Rational products.

If your particular host/target combination does not appear here, please contact your Rational representative for information on the development schedule.
