San Francisco, CA; Embedded Systems Conference — (press release excerpt) — TimeSys Corporation today announced that it is broadening its support for PowerPC and MIPS architecture based processors with the release of two new board support packages (BSPs). One is for Force Computer's PowerCore-6750 VME board, based on the Motorola PowerPC 750 processor; the other supports Matsushita's Komatsu VR4122… Embedded Board, based on the NEC VR4122 processor which utilizes a MIPS processor core.

These BSPs expand TimeSys' overall support footprint to include boards based on a wide range of processor architectures that include IA32 (x86), ARM, MIPS, PowerPC, SuperH, and XScale.

TimeSys Linux GPL is a full Linux distribution that includes everything needed to develop, deploy, and maintain an embedded platform. For each board, distribution includes a low-latency Linux kernel, associated libraries, tool chains, utilities, drivers, scripts, and documentation. Real-time solutions and cross-host tools from TimeSys offer additional functionality and development options.

Recently, Timesys announced a new round of funding from institutional venture firms and that strategic partner, Embedded Planet, has selected TimeSys as the exclusive provider of embedded Linux operating systems for its PowerPC-based single board computers.

TimeSys will be demonstrating the full range of capabilities of its embedded Linux operating system, development tools, and proprietary performance enhancing modules for a range of embedded processors at the Embedded Systems Conference West, being held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, March 12-16.
