Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT), through its
acquisition of Embedded Alley, a leading provider of embedded Linux
and Android solutions, today announced that the company is
extending the popular Android mobile applications platform to
support Freescale’s QorIQ and PowerQUICC III processors, which are
built on Power Architecture technology. Mentor now adds the
Embedded Alley Development System to the ESD product offering,
enabling device OEMs to deploy Android or Linux on
devices built with these industry-leading Freescale products.
With this new release for the Embedded Alley Development System,
the company broadens its support for Android and also continues to
grow the application space for the Google/OHA software stack. By
supporting Android on QorIQ and PowerQUICC III processors, Mentor
Graphics opens numerous industries and applications to Android
deployment, including networking and network appliances, storage,
printing and imaging, multimedia, and industrial control
applications.
“Mentor Graphics’ experience and know-how with Power
Architecture technology and in-depth knowledge of the Android
platform positions us as a strong ecosystem partner to Freescale
and an ideal supplier to OEMs,” said Glenn Perry, Mentor Graphics
general manager for the Embedded Systems Division. “Our support for
Android on Freescale’s top Power Architecture processors brings a
consumer-grade user interface and applications framework to new
realms of intelligent devices and industrial equipment.”
“Enabling Android for QorIQ and PowerQUICC III processors offers
Freescale’s customers additional choices and flexibility to help
enable differentiated end-user experiences,” said Kamal Khouri,
senior manager, Platform Product Management for Freescale’s
Networking and Multimedia Group. “Our collaboration with Mentor
Graphics allows OEMs to build smart, feature-rich devices based on
Freescale processors using either their own value-added
applications or shrink-wrapped software from the Android
Marketplace.”
Mentor Graphics’ engineering and productization efforts to
enable Android for processors built on Power Architecture
technology begins with the integration of Android-specific Linux
kernel patches (for 2.6.28), and encompasses a range of other
investments that include:
- Porting the Dalvik virtual
machine underlying Android to Freescale’s PowerQUICC and QorIQ
processors, including architecture and build support and
comprehensive optimization for Dalvik acceleration
- Extending Android bionic
run-time library and linker support to accommodate Power
Architecture technology
- Utilizes SPE APU, and/or Power
Architecture FPU performance enhancement across all software
modules
- Integrating and testing board
support and industry-specific device drivers, CODECs and other
middleware
- Supporting Power Architecture
technology in the Android Software Development Kit (SDK) and
Android targets in the Mentor Graphics customizable Development
System
- Platform and integration testing
of Android stack components and shrink-wrap Android
applications
