RidgeRun is exclusively focused on delivering embedded Linux(R) software
solutions for Internet appliances utilizing digital signal processors (DSPs).
RidgeRun provides DSPLinux(TM), a powerful software platform which includes
development tools, drivers, applications and services that offer greater
flexibility and reduced development times for OEM's using DSPs. Through its
strategic relationship with Texas Instruments, the world market leader in DSPs
and the lead investor in RidgeRun's Series A financing, the company is
developing solutions for TI's next generation of dual processor components
that combine both general purpose and DSP processors. The company was founded
in May 2000 by industry-leading embedded systems developers with a long track
record of delivering high-quality, high-volume products, including many
Hewlett-Packard LaserJet printers. The management team has extensive
experience in embedded operating systems, networking, imaging and Internet
appliances.
RidgeRun's software products are the DSPLinux(TM) software platform, the
DSPLinux Software Development Kit (SDK) and a range of middleware applications
and connectivity components to enable specific vertical market appliance
solutions. RidgeRun's DSPLinux is the first Linux software distribution
solution targeted solely at DSP components. DSPLinux leverages the power of
TI's DSP architectures to deliver the performance-leading platform for
wireless, broadband and multimedia appliances using DSPs. These appliances
include mobile and VoIP phones, digital cameras, audio and video players,
automotive systems, set-top boxes, home networking gateways, and PDAs.
DSPLinux combines an Open Source embedded Linux kernel with RidgeRun's
advanced proprietary technologies to deliver industrial-strength embedded
solutions. By leveraging the strength of Open Source software, including the
enormous worldwide community of Linux developers, DSPLinux allows digital
appliance manufacturers to build more powerful, reliable and feature-rich
products with a more rapid time-to-market.
RidgeRun's DSPLinux SDK Version 1.0, released in early May, includes an
innovative Appliance Simulator to enable developers to start programming
applications for DSP-based appliances in advance of hardware and silicon
solutions being available. Developers wishing to purchase the SDK, or to
