ALAMEDA, USA: Wind River, a global leader in Device Software Optimization (DSO), announced support for the recently unveiled Intel EP80579 Integrated Processor product line with its market leading VxWorks real-time operating system and Wind River Linux, a commercial-grade Linux solution.

The Intel EP80579 product line is the first in a series of Intel architecture-based system on chip (SoC) processors delivering excellent levels of performance-per-watt for a variety of market segments, including industrial automation, wireless and enterprise networking, network security, storage and IP telephony.

In an increasingly complex device market, the Intel EP80579 Integrated Processor product line combines all necessary electronic circuits of diverse functions onto a single chip, resulting in a complete electronic system that consumes less power, has a smaller footprint and offers enhanced performance compared to traditional SoCs and multi-chip systems.

The EP80579 is compatible with VxWorks 6.6, the latest offering of the real-time operating system, increasing usability with rapid deployment that reduces overall cost and time-to-market. The EP80579 is also compatible with Wind River Linux 2.0.

"Wind River continues to support the latest architectures and technologies that enable OEMs to innovate, lower development costs and get to market faster," said Scot Morrison, senior vice president and general manager for VxWorks Product Division at Wind River. "It is critical to take full advantage of the benefits obtained by using a SoC and combining our robust VxWorks runtimes with Intel's newest processor line allows device makers across a variety of embedded markets to add functionality while squeezing the size and power envelope."

"With the release of the EP80579 Integrated Processor, Intel delivers excellent power-efficient performance that effectively spans several market segments," said Rose Schooler, general manager, embedded Performance Products Division, Intel. "These new products will help Wind River customers reduce time-to-market and add secure networking functionality with tight footprint and power consumption constraints."

The Intel EP80579 Integrated Processor product line will be compatible with Wind River platforms, including:

    * Wind River General Purpose Platform
    * Wind River Platform for Automotive Devices
    * Wind River Platform for Consumer Devices
    * Wind River Platform for Industrial Devices
    * Wind River Platform for Network Equipment

The VxWorks and Wind River Linux board support packages for the Intel EP80579 Integrated Processor are immediately available.
