Mentor Graphics Announces Comprehensive Embedded Software Development Program for Hardware Companies
26 7월 2011 - 10:00PM
Business Wire
Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced a new
program composed of the Mentor® Embedded professional services and
products specifically for hardware companies. The Mentor Embedded
Hardware Enablement Program provides a spectrum of comprehensive
services and training for embedded Android, Linux®, open source
tools (GNU, GCC, Eclipse), user interface (UI) creation, and
vertical markets, including in-vehicle infotainment (IVI), smart
energy and retail applications. It leverages previous embedded
software development successes with major silicon vendors such as
C2 Microsystems, Freescale Semiconductor, IBM, NetLogic
Microsystems, and Texas Instruments.
As embedded systems are becoming increasingly complex, original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are placing ever-growing demands on
their hardware vendors to deliver better software development tools
and considerably more runtime content. Due to the large volume of
sophisticated open source platform software expected by OEMs,
hardware vendors can increase design wins and accelerate products
to market by creating an efficient eco-system of embedded tools,
middleware, operating systems (including real-time operating
systems, Android and Linux) and services. The Mentor Embedded
Hardware Enablement Program enables hardware vendors to create an
efficient software ecosystem by providing common tools and embedded
Linux and Android reference platforms in both free and commercially
supported formats, based on customer preferences. The Mentor
Embedded product and services offerings include support for
platform development on bare metal, RTOS, and open source operating
systems, GNU toolchain services, and embedded UIs.
The Mentor Embedded Hardware Enablement Program includes:
- Android offerings that comprise the
creation, optimization, and maintenance of full-featured Android
environments. This includes the creation and maintenance of a
public repository and fostering an OEM community around that
repository. Android training is also offered to help reduce the
time to volume.
- Linux commercial platform creation for
hardware targets, board support package (BSP) creation,
optimization, open source community management, platform
maintenance, support, training, engineering services, and
maintenance. Mentor is the only major open source player that
supports the powerful combination of a no-cost Linux version that
is fully compatible with their commercial version of Linux.
- Complete open source toolchain
offerings, such as GNU, GCC, Eclipse, and low-level virtual machine
(LLVM), to develop code for hardware architecture, such as porting,
custom and commercial software development kits (SDKs), optimized
performance libraries, advanced analysis tools, and JTAG probes for
devices
- User interface product and design
services to jumpstart OEM customers’ development efforts to deliver
dynamic 2D, 2.5D and 3D graphics, animation, and special effects
for customized products that can be created very fast
- Vertical Platform Services delivering a
range of firmware, OS, middleware, application and UI development
for existing hardware to support specific vertical market
requirements
“Our Mentor Embedded Hardware Enablement Program leverages
embedded expertise and leadership in open source products and
services to optimize today’s leading silicon technologies
worldwide,” stated Glenn Perry, general manager of Mentor Graphics
Embedded Software Division. “Together with our key hardware
partners, we have seen the productivity and performance gains
experienced from customers who have adopted Mentor Embedded
technologies and services for device optimization.”
