Eiffelstudio O O Programming Suite For Mac

Sudo port install eiffelstudio This will actually compile and install the whole EiffelStudio delivery. This takes about 15 minutes on a 2013 Mac. When a new release of EiffelStudio becomes available, it may take some weeks before it's available from MacPorts. You can check by running this command: port info eiffelstudio.

Eiffel Software Announces Beta Release of EiffelStudio for Macintosh OS X

Eiffel Software offers full IDE as a free download during beta phase

Eiffel Software announces the beta release of the latest version of its
award-winning development environment, EiffelStudio(tm), for the
Macintosh(tm) OS X(tm) platform. Available now for the first time on the
Macintosh platform, the company is offering the long-awaited version
EiffelStudio for the Mac as a free download.

“For years, the choices for Mac developers have been very limited, and
there has been tremendous interest in having a fully object-oriented
development system available for the Macintosh platform,” said Chris
Ambarian, VP of Sales and Marketing at Eiffel Software. “This is a fully
functional version of EiffelStudio that works on the Mac. We still have a
little bit of work to be done on native look-and-feel aspects, but we think
it is hands-down the most sophisticated development environment available
for the Mac platform. For a limited time we’re offering it for free. We’re
looking to the market to give us feedback to guide final development and
ensure that it has everything that the Mac developers want.”

EiffelStudio is based on the highly-regarded object-oriented programming
language, Eiffel. Case studies have shown that because of the efficiency of
the language and the powerful tools in the environment, EiffelStudio’s
users are demonstrating that compared to using other popular languages and
toolsets: 1) they can produce as much as 10 times the usable software in
the same amount of time, and 2) the quality of the resulting software is
higher.

Eiffel has thus gained prominence in recent years among developers and
design team leaders in challenging enterprise environments, as well as
among independent development teams who create high-quality reusable
applications for smaller- to medium- sized companies.

The OS X version of EiffelStudio adds to the already wide range of
operating systems for which EiffelStudio is available (which includes
Windows, Linux, Unix, VMS and embedded systems). This means that a team can
build entire applications (including bulletproof business logic and
sophisticated GUIs) that will run identically on any platform for which
EiffelStudio is available.

The idea is to use the PicKit2 programmer as a USB to serial converter.The PicKit2 has a built-in UART tool, this will tell you rx,tx and GND pins to be used from PK2.! Pickit2 'uart tool for mac. Another advantage is that the microcontroller board does not need the TTL-RS232 level converter (MAX232 IC).Logged. The signals are TTL levels (0-5v) not +/-12v RS232 levels but this should be what you need if you use this for a microcontroller communication.The atached program puts the PK2 in serial mode and redirects USB traffic to a serial port.Use com0com or other software to create 2 bridged virtual serial ports on your computer.Use one port with the attached program and the 2nd port in your PC serial application.The baud rate is set from the attached program.PicKit2 manual recommands baud rates up to 38400bps.Original idea and implementation by kcsoftEnjoy.Logged. If you need to have a com port that communicates with a usb device, that device must register itself as a USB CDC device.The point of my application is to use Pickit2 (Microchip programmer) as a replacement for a USB to serial converter cable. No, com0com has nothing to do with USB.I'm not sure I understand what is that you want to do.The USB device attached must be the pickit2 programmer, I have the impression that you need to attach other device, like a USB to serial converter.

“EiffelStudio’s openness makes it a great way to create robust, reusable
objects and libraries that can run identically on a wide variety of
platforms. Its Design by Contract(tm) feature makes it especially easy to
create code that developers can safely, reliably use to create
business-critical applications, and EiffelBuild allows them to create rich,
portable GUIs that don’t have to be rewritten either,” says Ambarian.

“With EiffelStudio’s combination of portability and reuse, plus robustness-
and productivity-related features, you have a tool that drastically cuts
development time. Most of our customers report up to 80% time savings over
other well-known languages and tools.”

Features of EiffelStudio 5.3 include:

* An easy-to-learn, plain-English syntax

* An extremely powerful object model that includes Design by Contract(tm),
multiple inheritance, and genericity

* A complete framework for producing software applications that includes a
graphic modeling tool that is integrated with the implementation (code)
view for seamless roundtrip engineering, and a multi-platform GUI builder
that generates Eiffel code

* Complete portability on several different platforms (various Windows,
Unix, Linux, PPC, VMS, embedded systems, and even Mac OS X and .NET)

According to Eiffel Software, the Eiffel language is syntactically among
the easiest to learn of all programming languages. Passive support for
users new to the language is available from the company website, where
there are also links to Eiffel user groups. Onsite training and consulting
are also available from the company by inquiring at sales@eiffel.com. The
OS X beta version of EiffelStudio 5.3 is available as a free download at
www.eiffel.com/downloads/.

The new release of EiffelStudio 5.3 on other platforms has already begun
shipping to Eiffel Software’s existing customers, and is available for
purchase via the company’s website, www.eiffel.com. Eiffel Software (a
division of ISE) is the world leader in Eiffel true object-oriented
