Prague (ots/PRNewswire) -

- itemis AG chooses JetBrains MPS to develop a powerful IDE for
embedded software development based on C, DSLs and formal
verification

JetBrains, creators of intelligent, productivity-enhancing

development environment for creating DSLs (Domain Specific
Languages), has been adopted by yet another innovative open source
project, led by the German company itemis AG.

Now JetBrains MPS can also be used for C programming thanks to an
open-source tool developed by itemis AG, a new JetBrains partner. The
collaboration focuses on developing innovative solutions for embedded
software development. This is implemented in the mbeddr IDE - a
revolutionary approach for embedded software development based on C,
domain-specific languages and formal verification.

mbeddr enables mixing domain-specific languages with C code and,
through suitable abstractions, makes formal verification possible.
Since mbeddr is build on top of MPS, users can easily develop custom
DSLs or extensions of C.

Both JetBrains MPS and the core of mbeddr are open source
software, available from http://jetbrains.com/mps and
http://mbeddr.com, respectively. JetBrains will continue to support
mbeddr by developing and enhancing MPS accordingly.
