Look to your Jacknife
for all the tools you need.

The Jacknife Tool Suite by Zucotto combines a software development environment (WHITEboard), a hardware development board (BLUEboard), and a debugger. The tools Zucotto provides are designed to address the specific problems of embedded device development. The tool suite consists of a debugger as well as software and hardware developer kits. The Jacknife Toolkit by Zucotto gives developers all the support and simulations they need to quickly integrate, optimize and develop their applications.

Development Kits - WHITEboard and BLUEboard

Stop wasting your time and money. Spend more time creating killer applications. Zucotto’s development kit offering provides flexible development path, from software only Win32 platform to fully Bluetooth-enabled hardware solution. The WHITEboard consists of SLICE (Sun Microsystems’ KVM and Zucotto’s Support Layer) ported on Win32 platform and modular peripheral plug-ins simulating hardware behavior. The BLUEboard is a fully integrated hardware kit which includes SLICE. Both kits provide developers with a one-stop application development environment integrated with wireless technology. They both shorten time to market and time to demonstrate solutions.

Besides supporting a traditional software debugger, Zucotto’s offering provides developers with a unique system watch crafted specifically for embedded development.
