BANGALORE: Wind River Systems today announced the latest release of its industry-leading Commercial Grade Linux product line with specific new features geared towards consumer device and network equipment manufacturers.
At its foundation is a pristine, unmodified, stable version of the Linux 2.6.14 kernel. Available today, the Linux editions of the Wind River General Purpose Platform, Platform for Consumer Devices and Platform for Network Equipment ship with the latest version of the company's Eclipse-based device software development suite, Wind River Workbench 2.5 and include significant new enhancements to runtime performance and footprint size, networking protocols, security, file systems and hardware architectures.
Venkatesh Kumaran, country manager India at Wind River, said, “This release addresses two key growth segments for Linux: consumer devices and network equipment. Our key market segments include mobile handsets and digital media devices in the consumer space and Carrier Grade Linux based equipment in the networking segment.”
“Wind River is in a favorable position to address these high-growth markets with our commercial grade quality distribution that is based on the open standards adopted by those segments, our broad ecosystem of hardware and software partners and our industry-leading services and support organizations,” he added.
