Embedded Components Suite

Customers around the world have benefited from NordiaSoft’s engineer’s expertise in the development of embedded systems using the SCA. The new eCo Suite for SCA 4.1 is built on more than a decade of technological breakthroughs and experience gathered from interactions with government and industry that have been using the NordiaSoft SCARI Software Suite to perform R&D and field thousands of radios.

The eCo Suite is a comprehensive Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for heterogeneous embedded distributed systems. NordiaSoft solution embraces the concepts of Component-Based Development (CBD) and Model-Driven Engineering (MDE).

The eCo Suite allows developers to model, create, deploy and test software components that run in real time on a wide range of operating environments. It simplifies architectural design, reduces development costs and time to market, optimizes software performance, and improves overall system quality.

The eCo Suite is composed of three main products.

eCo Hub implements the SCA 4.1 Core Framework (CF) that deploys, configures and controls software applications on the target embedded system platform. It supports the largest combination of operating systems, object request brokers, and processors. Not being subject to ITAR restrictions, eCo Hub is based on the knowledge and optimization techniques acquired with the former SCARI CF that runs in thousands of battlefield deployed radios from different international radio manufacturers.

eCo Architect is an Eclipse-based development tool that lets you create, validate, and debug SCA software components and applications. Utilizes a visual modeling language that allows developers to unambiguously express every concept of the SCA graphically. Generates behavioral and structural source code that builds for all supported operating environments.  Provides a Zero-Merge functionality to simplify business logic insertion.

eCo Inspector is an Eclipse-based run-time monitoring tool that lets you install and control applications as well as visualize the structure of the running software. The NordiaSoft eCo Inspector is an essential tool for debugging and testing during SCA development.
