Los Gatos, CA — (press release) — XStream Logic, an innovator in the development of next-generation network processors, today announced that it has signed a development partnership agreement with MontaVista Software, supplier of Hard Hat Linux for embedded applications, to provide an optimized Linux implementation and Linux development tool support for XStream Logic's network processor family. Under the agreement, both companies will jointly develop high-performance Linux-based solutions targeting networking and storage applications.

Ron Barr, VP of Marketing for XStream Logic, said: “The combination of MontaVista's Hard Hat Linux and associated development tools optimized for XStream Logic's upcoming family of high-performance network processors will provide our customers with a robust development and operating system environment that will dramatically improve their product reliability and time-to-market.”

Developers of next-generation networking and storage devices are looking for network processor solutions that provide high-performance packet processing capabilities combined with a proven software environment and powerful development tools. Existing network processor solutions tend to be restricted by complex programming environments and limited debugging capabilities.

James Ready, CEO of MontaVista Software, said: “XStream has a unique architectural approach that lends itself to open software standards and non-proprietary tools, while also providing unprecedented performance levels in packet processing applications.”
