Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today reaffirmed its
commitment to the future of open source for embedded development
with the acquisition of certain assets of CodeSourcery, Inc.
(Granite Bay, CA), the leading provider of open source GNU-based
toolchains and services for advanced systems development.
"CodeSourcery and its industry-recognized toolchain services and
products significantly increase the value of embedded solutions
that Mentor Embedded can provide its customers, as well as
contributions to the open source community," said Glenn Perry,
general manager, Mentor Graphics Embedded Software Division. "We
believe that the future of embedded development depends on the wide
availability of open source software and tools. The Mentor
Embedded™ group continues to expand its OSS development team --
including the acquisition of Embedded Alley last year, well known
for its runtime Linux® and Android offerings -- and continuing with
today's announcement on CodeSourcery, renowned for their toolchain
expertise. Our position as an independent embedded software
solution provider enables Mentor Embedded to collaborate closely
with hardware IP and SoC ecosystems, as well as the broader
embedded software vendors, as the leading supplier of innovative
embedded software services and products. Our mutual end customers
reap the benefits via the optimization of resources, leveraging the
strengths of the OSS community, hardware design community and
Mentor Embedded software team."
"CodeSourcery's goal has always been to build great tools for
embedded software developers," said Mark Mitchell, former CEO of
CodeSourcery and now director of embedded tools, Mentor Graphics
Embedded Software Division. "Mentor Embedded provides the resources
needed to create better, more powerful tools that make embedded
software development easier. Our service customers, many of whom
already work with Mentor Embedded, will benefit from new offerings
that integrate tools with Linux and/or Android environments. The
future of embedded software development is based on open-source
tools, and as part of Mentor Embedded, CodeSourcery will be able to
participate in the open-source community on an even greater scale
than before."
CodeSourcery builds software tools that enable its customers to
maximize the performance of hardware platforms ranging from
embedded devices to supercomputers. The Sourcery G++™ product, a
software development environment based on the GNU Toolchain, is a
leading choice of software engineers, operating system vendors,
semiconductor companies, and device manufacturers. The Sourcery
VSIPL++™ product, a portable, parallel signal- and image-processing
toolkit, boosts performance and increases productivity for radar,
sonar, and imaging applications. For more product information,

The Mentor Graphics Embedded Software Division comprises the
Mentor Embedded family of products and services, including embedded
software intellectual property (IP), tools, and consulting services
to help embedded developers and silicon partners optimize their
products for design and cost efficiency. More information on Mentor
Embedded products and services can be found at the website:
