TimeSys(TM) and Trilogic Systems Announce Partnership to Provide Embedded Linux Development Solutions to OEMs

  Trilogic Systems Will Sell, Support and Use TimeSys Linux for OEM Product
                               Design Services

    BOSTON and PITTSBURGH, Nov. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Embedded Systems Conference
- TimeSys(TM) Corporation and Trilogic Systems LLC today announced a
partnership in which Trilogic Systems will sell and support TimeSys products
and employ TimeSys Linux in its Proven Technology Program for OEM product
design services.  Trilogic Systems LLC is an ISO 9001 certified co-source
manufacturer that designs, integrates, and maintains system solutions for
OEMs.  Through its Proven Technology Program, Trilogic will sell TimeSys'
complete embedded Linux development environment to its OEM customers to reduce
development costs and time to market.  Additionally, Trilogic will employ
TimeSys Linux in product design services for OEM co-source manufacturing
customers.  Through the partnership, TimeSys customers will also benefit from
Trilogic's world-class service and support staff.
    "As industry pressure continues to push OEMs to reduce development costs
and time to market, we are seeing more demand for a complete set of
Linux-based embedded products that are tightly integrated with the hardware
platform and bundled with design and support services," said David Paul,
President of Trilogic Systems.  "We've added TimeSys' Linux SDKs and
development tools to our Proven Technology Program so that we can help our
customers meet these challenges by combining our design services with a
complete, high-performance open source solution."
    "Partners like Trilogic Systems allow OEMs to reduce their development
risks with full design and support services in the telecommunications,
industrial control and military/aerospace industries," said TimeSys CEO Larry
Weidman.  "By adopting our Linux solution with royalty-free real-time
performance, Trilogic is further reducing development and support costs and
time-to-market for new products."

    About Trilogic Systems' Proven Technology Program
    Trilogic Systems' Proven Technology Program is designed to leverage
relationships with key industry suppliers of hardware, software and third
party components to benefit its customers in deploying their platforms in a
competitive timeframe.  The company qualifies each vendor through a stringent
supplier selection process involving analysis of their business, facility,
processes, quality control, and more. Vendors are assessed on their product
and technology depth and breadth, industry associations, technical support,
warranties, lead time, pricing, and return policy.
    The comprehensive set of components in the Proven Technology Program
allows Trilogic Systems technological flexibility in building the systems OEMs
want to deploy.  In turn, customers can eliminate underutilized assets and
overhead and be freed from dealing with a multitude of vendors.  Additionally,
customers can avoid hiring specialized resources and diminish their need for
new technology ramp-up.

    TimeSys Solutions
    TimeSys provides the most complete, highest-performance embedded Linux
development environment available to design engineers today.  TimeSys Linux is
a full Linux distribution that includes everything needed to develop, deploy,
and maintain an embedded platform, with multiple product configurations that
support more than 50 unique hardware platforms using 20 microprocessors that
span seven unique architectures.  For each supported board, TimeSys offers a
complete software development kit that includes not only the world's lowest-
latency Linux kernel, but also all the libraries, tool chains, utilities,
drivers, scripts, and documentation, providing a complete, "to the edge of the
board" development environment.  Coupled with TimeSys Linux/Real-Time, it
offers trend-setting add-on proprietary capabilities that transform Linux into
a first-class real-time operating system with unmatched latency,
responsiveness, and real-time capabilities.  TimeSys Linux/CPU and TimeSys
