I have not looked at those specifically, but I know some more Embedded
Systems oriented tools. My prejudice about RoseRT is that it is huge and
devoted to "big software" development. My interest is somewhat more
focused on state charts (and only state charts) which are also limited
enough to make runtime code generation reasonable.


I know visualSTATE charts from IAR Inc. quite well. These are
hierarchical and I more or less guess how they are implemented
(interpreted). I did some search on STATEMATE, but could not find any
explicite article on the code generation in this (most are on
verification and validation). I guess that is should be similar to
visualSTATE (anybody knows it here?). These are the main tools, that I
know, focusing on speed and size and important constraints of embedded
systems.
