Cambridge, UK and San Jose, CA — (press release excerpt)– ARM and LynuxWorks today announced that LynuxWorks' BlueCat 4.0 Linux and VisualLynux Integrated Development Environment (IDE) will be packaged with the new ARM920T core-based Integrator Porting Platform. Offered as a complete, out-of-the-box embedded Linux solution, the development platform gives developers immediate access to a ported and… tested Linux environment with comprehensive ARM9 core processor and Thumb family support. ARM will sell the Integrator Porting Platform bundled with BlueCat and with six months of technical support. A member of the ARM DevZone program, LynuxWorks will work closely with ARM to develop software optimized for the ARM technology.

The Integrator family, part of the ARM RealView suite of development tools, leverages ARM's unique experience in test chip technology to provide a range of flexible, high-performance development platforms that meet the needs of today's system-on-chip developers. The Integrator/LPP1 platform is a complete solution using standard Integrator components along with PCI cards for video display and network interface. It enables development engineers to start integrating hardware and software IP into an existing fully-supported Linux environment before initial silicon is available, thus saving considerable time and cost, as well as bringing products to market faster.

The Intergrator/LPP-1 ARM920T core-based Porting Platform is available from ARM immediately and priced at $18,000.
