TimeSys OnBoard Program for Hosting, Certifying, Distributing and Supporting
Commercialized Custom Linux Distributions now supports Intel(R) I/O processors
SAN FRANCISCO, March 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Embedded Systems Conference --
TimeSys(R) Corporation, a leader in embedded Linux(R) technologies and
development tools, today announced the availability of fully commercialized
2.6-based TimeStorm(R) Linux Development Kits (LDKs) which support Intel
XScale-based I/O processors and the latest Intel-developed hardware
optimizations. Intel I/O processors will be included in the TimeSys OnBoard
Program(TM), the embedded Linux industry's only comprehensive program for
hosting, certifying, distributing and supporting commercialized custom Linux
distributions.
The TimeSys OnBoard Program provides a vehicle for continuous delivery of
the most advanced Linux features to customers and partners. Through the
program, TimeSys rapidly packages, maintains and supports commercial TimeStorm
LDKs with the latest feature enhancements developed by and with OnBoard
Partners. TimeStorm LDKs from TimeSys include complete hardware-optimized
embedded Linux distributions with ready-to-run target images (kernel and root
file system) and the Eclipse 3.0-based TimeStorm Linux Development Suite(R)
cross-development environment to facilitate application development, as well
as kernel and device driver platform customization.
TimeSys to Deliver Commercial Linux Kits for Intel XScale I/O Processors
Through the OnBoard Program, TimeSys will create 2.6-based TimeStorm LDKs
for a broad subset of the Intel(R) XScale technology-based I/O processor line,
which enables servers, workstations and storage subsystems to transfer data
faster, reduce communication bottlenecks and improve overall system
performance by offloading I/O processing functions from the host CPU.
TimeSys and Intel will use the OnBoard Program to maintain and update all
existing TimeSys Linux Development Kits for Intel processors (including new
2.6-based LDKs for the Intel(R) IOP321, IOP331, IOP332 and 80219 processors).
The companies will also jointly develop additional TimeStorm LDKs for future
Intel I/O processors as they become available in 2005 and beyond.
"TimeSys introduced the OnBoard Program to rapidly integrate partner-
developed Linux enhancements into complete distributions with developer tools
and support," said Larry Weidman, president and CEO of TimeSys. "The Program
is the latest example of our commitment to continuously bring the most
advanced embedded Linux solutions to market."
"Development communities, such as the TimeSys OnBoard Program, enable
developers to get products based on Intel XScale-based I/O processors to
market quickly," said Dave Boehmer, director of Platform Applications and
Engineering for Intel's Storage Components Division. "This type of community
helps make the latest Linux enhancements from Intel available to OEMs
worldwide in fully commercialized distributions from TimeSys."
