Green Hills Software Advances Multicore Debugging Leadership With Latest Probe Release

SANTA BARBARA, CA--(Marketwire - August 18, 2009) - Green Hills Software, Inc., the largest
independent vendor of embedded software solutions, today announced the
latest firmware release of its leading hardware-assisted microprocessor
debugging solution, the Green Hills Probe. In
combination with Green Hills Software's comprehensive MULTI® software
development environment, the Green Hills Probe enables software developers
to gain the control and visibility required to perform board bring-up,
device driver development, and other system debugging tasks in the least
amount of time and with the lowest development cost.

This release of the Green Hills Probe provides support for symmetric
multiprocessing (SMP) operating systems, such as Green Hills Software's INTEGRITY®
real-time operating system. Green Hills Probe enables a seamless and
powerful SMP debugging experience by providing synchronized multi-core
run-control,
inter-core cache coherency features, and intelligent inter-core breakpoint
management. Application and device driver developers will be able to find
and fix bugs faster, resulting in faster time-to-market for end products.

The release adds support for the latest microprocessors including ARM
Cortex A8-based processors -- such as the Texas Instruments OMAP 3530 and
Freescale i.MX515, the dual core Freescale MPC8641D, and a major overhaul
of ColdFire® support, including the MCF5222x, MCF225x, and MCF227x
processors.

"We are pleased that Green Hills Software continues to advance its
innovative multicore debugging and operating system solutions," commented
Ravi Swaminathan, director of software ecosystem alliances for Freescale.
"The Green Hills Probe helps developers using advanced Freescale
processors, such as the dual core MPC8641D, create more reliable products,
faster."

"The Green Hills Probe has become the must-have, tried-and-true,
ultra-reliable, high performance debugging device for thousands of embedded
developers," commented David Kleidermacher, chief technology officer of
Green Hills Software. "The advanced software architecture of the probe
enabled us to rapidly innovate the firmware to manage the complex landscape
of embedded processor revisions and capabilities."

About the Green Hills Probe

The Green Hills Probe is the fastest and smartest debug probe ever built.

scriptable Web 2.0 interface, the third-generation Green Hills Probe helps
embedded developers find and fix bugs faster than ever before. With
download rates in excess of 10 MB per second, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0
High Speed, and a flexible electrical interface, the Green Hills Probe will
debug a wider range of CPUs faster than any other probe. The Green Hills
Probe uses hand-placed custom logic and a highly optimized software path to
attain its unprecedented speed.

The Green Hills Probe brings a new level of intelligence and versatility to
the world of JTAG debug probes. On-board flash programming support for
virtually every NOR flash part available, built-in Python scripting with
full access to all JTAG and debug port functionality, and a fully
scriptable Web 2.0 interface enable the Green Hills Probe to be used for
every phase of the product cycle.

Built with INTEGRITY

The Green Hills Probe is powered by Green Hills Software's INTEGRITY, the
leading market share high-reliability real-time operating system. The
INTEGRITY RTOS's partitioning architecture and ultra-fast response time
enabled the creation of a probe that is modular, reliable, and easy to use
while attaining performance levels that have never before been achieved.
