Santa Ana, CA — (press release excerpt) — REDSonic, Inc. today announced its partnership with Red Flag Software Co., Ltd., a prominent Linux vendor in China. Under the terms of this agreement, REDSonic's real-time Linux technology will be distributed in China by Red Flag. By joining forces, the companies plan to bring sophisticated real-time Linux builder tools to the growing real-time and embedded… Linux environment in China.

The REDSonic components that Red Flag will be distributing are REDICE-Linux, an innovative real-time Linux kernel, RED-Builder, a tool for configuring, building, downloading, and remotely debugging target images to the application platform, and RED-Probe, a tool for monitoring the real-time system. “The builder tools offered by REDSonic are the most functional we've seen in the industry,” commented Bo Liu, CEO at Red Flag.

To have a major share in the market, we need a company that understands real-time Linux technology,” stated Liu.

The alliance is a milestone development for REDSonic because of the entry of REDSonic technology into China. “With this agreement, we are not only sharing our technology with a larger audience, but more importantly, we are doing so in China,” commented Dr. Kwei-Jay Lin, CEO at REDSonic. “REDSonic gains an advantage in that we now have a distribution channel in the single most important market region in the world,” said Lin.
