COMDEX, Las Vegas, NV — (press release excerpt) — Lineo, Inc. today announced the preview of Embedix SDK 1.2-J being shown at COMDEX Fall 2000, the next release of the Japanese software development kit for embedded developers and device manufacturers. Embedix SDK 1.2-J integrates support with cross-compilations, full support for Hitachi SuperH 3 and 4 RISC processors, and an integrated development… environment.

Embedix SDK 1.2-J will also include the NetFront browser from ACCESS Co. Ltd., a powerful embedded Internet browser for consumer information appliances. In addition, PowerParts middleware from Metrowerks is included to provide developers with graphical user interface development capabilities. Metrowerks CodeWarrior Integrated Development Environment (IDE) provides an important set of tools in the development of today's applications for embedded devices. CodeWarrior combines an editor, compiler, linker and debugger into one integrated application which helps developers bring applications to market faster and at a reduced cost.

Also included is the Lineo Target Wizard library compilation tool, which provides an automated way to quickly and easily select all of the requirements for a target image and check for all software interdependencies. Target Wizard also helps developers quickly create the smallest possible software image for their embedded device by stripping out unneeded features and software code. By providing developers with the smallest possible software image, Embedix helps developers to create devices that require less hardware and allows them to gain greater economies of scale when producing large numbers of devices.

Embedix SDK 1.2-J will begin shipping in mid-December through Lineo Japan's Premier Channel Partners. Pricing will be announced at that time.
