San Francisco, CA; Embedded Systems Conference — (press release excerpt) — Rachis Corp. today unveiled Rachis eWorkbench, a new automated software suite that streamlines the testing and verification of embedded devices. Rachis eWorkbench test tool currently runs on Embedded Linux and the Windows Embedded family of products, and is easily portable to other embedded operating systems. The company is demonstrating the new product on the NEC Rockhopper Development System running embedded Linux in the NEC Booth #4448 at the Embedded Systems Conference.

Rachis eWorkbench is a suite of client/server tools for verifying that embedded applications and hardware are functioning within design specifications. The eWorkbench client presents a framework for communication between the Workbench Server and the software running on the system under test. It provides an extensible mechanism to execute test programs on the client and return test status information to Workbench server for later analysis. Therefore, the product can serve as an excellent regression-testing tool. Creation of eWorkbench tests is facilitated through an API that manages the communication between the system under test and the Workbench server. Either the customer or the Rachis Test Lab can develop and customize the tests.

Additionally Rachis announced that the Rachis TV Workbench client, that previously supported only the Microsoft TV operating system and middleware testing, now supports both the PowerTV and Liberate operating systems and middleware. This enables OEMs testing set-top boxes and home entertainment devices to use a common Workbench Server to serve various flavors of clients.
