Under contract from Lineo, Viosoft is porting Arriba! for use with Embedix — Lineo's embedded version of Linux. A run time version of the Embedix operating system is currently being tested in a broad range of Internet-aware devices and appliances. The comprehensive Embedix SDK, including the Embedix version of Arriba!, is scheduled to ship April 2000.

“Lineo's embedded Linux system software development is far ahead of any known competition,” said Bryan Sparks, CEO of Lineo, Inc. “Aggressive software development by Lineo's engineers, coupled with the work of partners, like Viosoft, is producing an embedded Linux development environment that is competitive to existing market leaders of embedded system software.”
