/PRNewswire/ -- Lineo(R), Inc., a leading innovator of embedded operating
system software and host development environments for vertical-specific
markets today announced availability of a complete development environment for
digital set-top boxes based on the IBM PowerPC(R)-based STB03xxx Evaluation
Kit. Utilizing the Lineo Embedix(R) SDK and customized board support package
(BSP) for the IBM kit, developers can quickly build, debug and deploy a
customized Linux- solution to their set-top box.
Lineo's Embedix BSP and SDK development environment enables embedded
system developers to quickly bring up new hardware, resolve integration issues
and facilitate the production and test of completed products.
Lineo will demonstrate this development environment on IBM's set-top box
demonstration platform at the Embedded Systems Conference in San Francisco

Embedix SDK, developers can immediately begin creating and customizing higher-
level middleware and applications. Embedix SDK provides advanced tools for
conflict and dependency checking as well as debug capabilities for both target
and host. The Embedix BSP, together with the Embedix SDK, accelerates the
creation of OEM products thereby reducing the time it takes to bring
interactive television applications from service providers to consumers.
