[news.eclipse.tools.hyades] Re: ARM + Hyades?

["Richard Duggan" <rduggan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ed,

I am somewhat familiar with ARM.  There are a couple of areas in which it is
possible for Hyades can exploite ARM information.  In essence, the Hyades
data collection framework provides the ability to collect ARM data from any
local or remote ARM agent, as well as a series of models to store the data
within.

From a data collection standpoint, if you were to wrapper the ARM API's over
top of our data collection framework you would be immediately be able to
collect ARM data and remotely pull that data into the workbench live, as the
data is produced.

From a model standpoint, if the ARM data complies to a certain format, we
will automatically transform the data and load it into the applicable model
(we call these loaders).  In the case of ARM data, there could be a couple
of possible models I could envision the data being loaded into.
Alternatively, it is possible to write your own loader to transform the
data.


If you are interested, I could spend some time throwing together a
architectural diagram of how this would work and stub this up.  All the
stuff you need to do this is in the driver today except, unfortunately, the
documentation to allow you to take the bull by the horns so to speak.  I
would expect that alot more documentation should start to appear on the
website during the month of June.

Thanks,
Richard.
