| Lineo uSolutions announces embedded Linux kernel, IDE, plans |
Apr. 10, 2003
Lineo uSolutions Inc. (Tokyo) announced availability of a version of its embedded Linux kernel, called uLinux, that supports the recently announced TX7901 MIPS RISC processor from Toshiba America Electronic Components Inc. (TAEC). Additionally, the company said it has introduced a new modular, Java-based integrated cross-development environment for embedded Linux application development.
Lineo uSolutions said its Embedded Linux Integrated Tools & Environment (ELITE) as "a powerful integrated cross-development environment for configuring, customizing, and deploying Linux-based embedded solutions." Cross-development can be hosted on either Linux or Windows, and available tools currently include: Project Generation Wizard, Configuration Tool, Build Tool, Target Image Editor, Deploy Wizard, Debug Wizard, the company said. Processor architectures currently supported include: SH, ARM, MIPS, PPC, and MMU-less CPU architectures. Two additional features of note are ELITE's compatibility with optional real-time extensions and third-party debugging tools, and its support for "snap-in functionality" of optional software stacks including third-party products.
According to Lineo uSolutions CTO Tatsuya Takeuchi, a "universal" version of uLinux having broad support for a wide range of processor architectures is currently in final development stages, with a planned release date of July, 2003. A beta version is currently available for specific vendors and OEMs, Takeuchi said. Key factors pertaining to meeting the requirements of "ubiquitous devices" that are being addressed during the development of uLinux include "footprint, boot-time, real-time, accurate memory management, and power savings," noted Takeuchi.
The former Japanese subsidiary of Embedix Inc. announced earlier this year that it had been purchased in a management buyout and had changed its name from "Lineo Japan, Inc." to "Lineo uSolutions, Inc.," and that it was is getting set to announce its own embedded Linux and cross-development environment products, including a product aimed at consumer electronics manufacturers.
