MontaVista says it is porting its Linux Consumer Electronics Edition (CEE) to a pair of ARM cores targeting networking, consumer, and automotive infotainment applications. The new CEE port will ship in Q3 or Q4 for the ARM1136J-S and ARM1136JF-S microprocessor cores, on an ARM11 microarchitecture development platform and evaluation board.

Additionally, at this week's Embedded Systems Conference, ARM will demonstrate the integration of the ARM Intelligent Energy Manager (IEM) prediction software with the MontaVista DPM (dynamic power management) framework, by showing CEE running on the Texas Instruments OMAP Innovator development platform, first supported by MontaVista in December, 2002.

ARM Director Mary Inglis said, “Because of its flexibility and ease of use, Linux is becoming a popular choice [for leveraging] the high performance, integration, and power-efficiency of our ARM11 technology.”

MontaVista says it supports ARM core-based processors from Intel, Motorola, Texas Instruments and others.
