Tokyo, Feb 2nd 2010, - Lineo Solutions, Inc. ("Lineo", Headquarters/Engineering Center: Shiojiri, Nagano, Japan, President&CEO: Kenji Futatsugi) today announced the release of "Vzet", a tool of visualizing Linux system behavior.

Many applications which consist of multiple processes are running on Linux system. "Vzet" is an innovative product that can display behaviors of the processes visually.

Linux-base embedded system development covers a wide range from Linux kernel to applications. The system is divided according to functions and the development will advance. During this development, it is not easy for individual developers or a team to check whether program processes behave appropriately and correspond with whole system. "Vzet" enables to visually display target process what developers would like to see. By capturing behavior of processes and adjusting a program to operate a device under the right condition, efficiency of development can be totally improved. "Vzet" is available for Android application development project.
