San Francisco, CA; LinuxWorld — (press release excerpt) — LTrix Engineering today announced the release of lice, a professional debugger for engineers developing device drivers, customizing the kernel for embedded systems, and working on the kernel.

LTrix Engineering's lice provides remote source-level kernel and module debugging without patching the kernel source or user utilities. Implementing a modern user interface, lice significantly reduces the time to identify and fix errors.

The need for a professional kernel mode debugger will grow as the number of engineers developing for the Linux platform continues to increase each year, particularly in the embedded systems arena. Based on an April 2002 Web survey of 245 embedded developers, Venture Development Corp. (VDC) predicts embedded Linux products and services will skyrocket from $59 million in 2001 to $346 million in 2006. More than three-quarters of the developers surveyed said they have used embedded Linux or plan to use it in the next three years.

U.S. price is $2,000 per seat license with price incentives for purchase of multiple seats; $500.00 for updates and support. A 30-day trial version is available to qualified engineers.
