| LynuxWorks joins Eclipse Foundation |
Mar. 22, 2006
LynuxWorks has joined the Eclipse Foundation as an "add-in provider," and will evaluate how to apply select products within relevant Eclipse projects, it says. LynuxWorks offers an Eclipse-based Luminosity IDE (integrated development environment) that supports its BlueCat embedded Linux distribution, its LynxOS real-time OS (RTOS), and its safety-critical LynxOS-178 RTOS.
LynuxWorks describes itself as an "early adopter" of the Eclipse framework for cross-vendor tools integration. It announced Luminosity in late 2004, and began shipping the product last year.
LynuxWorks says it has long evangelized Eclipse, in industry articles authored by senior executives such as Dr. Inder Singh, CEO. Additionally, Robert Day, who joined LynuxWorks as VP of marketing last December, co-chairs the Eclipse project's embedded workgroup, and helped his previous employer, Mentor Graphics, adopt Eclipse tools for its Nucleus RTOS.
Day stated, "Supporting the Eclipse Foundation is directly in line with the company's philosophy and open standards based approach. By joining the foundation, we will be able to utilize the rich set of tools that the Eclipse ecosystem offers as plug-ins, [including] products specific to embedded development and the enterprise space."
The Eclipse Foundation's executive director, Mike Milinkovich, stated, "[LynuxWorks's] involvement with the foundation, and with their Eclipse based product lines, are helping us maintain huge momentum in the embedded space."
Day will present a paper entitled, "Eclipse: Under the Hood" at the Embedded Systems Conference in San Jose, Calif. early next month, a conference featuring lots of presentations on Linux and other open standards.
LynuxWorks competitor Wind River last week announced that its Eclipse-based toolsuite, WorkBench, had been selected for use in the US Department of Defense's massive Future Combat Systems (FCS) initiative, an effort that uses LynuxWorks's LynxOS-178 RTOS in some systems.
Wind River joined Eclipse in 2003, and positions Workbench as target OS agnostic. LynuxWorks's Luminosity IDE currently supports its LynxOS 4.x, BlueCat Linux 5.x, and LynxOS-178 products, it says.
