Pittsburgh, PA — (press release excerpt) — TimeSys Corp. today released complete embedded Linux solutions for 'Malta' development boards utilizing the MIPS32 4Kc and MIPS64 5Kc processor cores. These cores are ideally suited for a variety of system-on-chip (SOC) embedded applications, such as digital consumer, networking, and office automation systems.

TimeSys' Linux products for the MIPS32 and MIPS64 Malta development boards provide a complete embedded Linux solution featuring TimeSys Linux GPL, consisting of a fully featured preemptible kernel that extends a standard Linux distribution to support the predictable, extremely low-latency response requirements of embedded systems. Also available are TimeSys modules that transform TimeSys Linux GPL to meet strict performance requirements. TimeSys Linux/Real-Time delivers full response predictability to TimeSys Linux GPL. TimeSys Linux/CPU and /Net provide capabilities for dynamic load handling and system overload protection. Used in conjunction with TimeSys' cross-platform development tools, TimeSys also provides a complete embedded Linux-based solution for designing, developing and deploying devices on Malta development boards.

TimeSys' Linux solution for the MIPS32 and MIPS64 Malta development boards includes:

• Support for the Malta development boards for TimeSys' embedded-Linux product offering
• Linux board-hosted GNU tool chains
• PC-based Linux cross-platform GNU tool chains
• Timing analysis core for use by TimeSys' event tracing and timing visualization tool: TimeTrace
