WindRiver Workbench is being provided as a development environment. Wind River is the company that produces vxWorks, the realtime OS that is running on the new controller. I know that workbench works on multiple hosts (Unix, Linux, Windows). It remains to be seen exactly what sort of support we get for this from Wind River, but I've asked my contacts there to look into it.

It would be really cool if we get access to Wind River tools beyond the IDE for compilation. With just the compilation support, we would get static code analysis, and incremental build support. Windriver has additional tools for memory leak detection, code profiling, and real time diagnostics.

Check out WindRiver.com for info about what might be possible. In particular the scope tools (Memscope, Profilescope, Stethoscope).
