Multicore Leaders Collaborate to Deliver Comprehensive RTOS and Linux Platforms
Targeting Communications Equipment
STOCKHOLM, Sweden and MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. 27 April, 2010 - Enea and NetLogic
Microsystems (NASDAQ: NETL), a worldwide leader in high-performance intelligent
semiconductor solutions for next-generation Internet networks, today announced
that they have entered into a strategic collaboration to deliver a comprehensive
set of software solutions that will simplify the development of multicore-based
communications systems. The agreement spans a number of Enea offerings
including its award-winning Enea® OSE Multicore Edition realtime operating
system (RTOS) and Enea® Optima. In addition, Enea will build and deliver a
Linux development environment based on the Enea Linux Project Framework (ELPF)
for the NetLogic Microsystems Linux-based SDK. All Enea offerings will be
available across the NetLogic Microsystems' XLP(TM), XLR® and XLS® multi-core,
multi-threaded processor families.
"We are excited to collaborate with Enea to optimize their award-winning RTOS
and Linux solutions on our industry-leading multicore, multi-threaded
processors," said Mark Litvack, senior director of business development,
Multi-Core Processor Products at NetLogic Microsystems. "Collaborating with a
strong player like Enea to deliver state-of-the-art multicore platforms to the
market is central to our strategy of enabling leading OEMs to develop highly
competitive and differentiated solutions in the market."
"The communications infrastructure market is demanding best-in-class hardware
and software solutions that are able to deliver the performance, scalability and
reliability required for advanced video, IPv6 and backhaul services," said
Mathias Båth, senior vice president of marketing at Enea. "We are pleased to
collaborate with NetLogic Microsystems, a respected industry-leader in multicore
processors, to optimize Enea's world-class multicore platform software, support
and services on the XLP, XLR and XLS processors."
Enea and NetLogic Microsystems are collaborating to deliver innovative hardware
and software solutions to their mutual customers:
* Enea will port and enhance the performance of its Enea OSE Multicore Edition
RTOS to NetLogic Microsystems' XLS, XLR and XLP families of multi-core,
multi-threaded processors. As a preeminent RTOS for NetLogic Microsystems
processors, Enea OSE will be delivered with comprehensive board support
packages for evaluation boards out of the box, as well as the full Optima
Eclipse-based development tools framework, ensuring that mutual customers
can rapidly evaluate and develop advanced networking platforms with a fully
integrated solution.
* Enea will develop a version of its Eclipse-based Linux configuration and
build tool known as ELPF, in a pre-integrated NetLogic Microsystems Edition,
that incorporates the NetLogic Microsystems Linux-based SDK. This new,
combined tool set will be based on a custom configuration of Enea Optima and
be delivered to all NetLogic Microsystems customers. It is a freely
available platform for a flexible and easily deployable Linux environment.
* As an option for customers seeking commercial support from Enea's Linux
experts, Enea will provide annual support subscriptions for customers who
choose to use the ELPF NetLogic Microsystems Edition development environment
including the Linux packages themselves and the tools framework.
* The two companies will also jointly explore and evaluate additional
collaboration opportunities based on additional Enea software offerings,
including advanced networking protocols, database solutions, and device and
systems management middleware.
