Zoom(TM) Development Kit Accelerates Development
PITTSBURGH--(Business Wire)--
Timesys Corporation (http://www.timesys.com), a premier provider
of embedded Linux software solutions and Logic Embedded Product
Solutions group (http://www.logicpd.com), a leading supplier of
product-ready System on Modules (SOMs), easy to use development kits,
and single board computers (SBCs), today announced LinuxLink support
for Logic's OMAP35x SOM-LV. Based on Texas Instruments' OMAP35x family
of applications processors, LinuxLink for the Logic SOM leverages the
system's powerful suite of high-performance multimedia features,
including audio, video, and image processing.

   With this LinuxLink, subscribers will get web-based access to a
Linux platform that has been pre-compiled, integrated, and tested for
the Logic Zoom(TM) OMAP35x Development Kit, including a 2.6.22 Linux
kernel, toolchain, and hundreds of prebuilt, ready-to-use RFS
packages. Additionally, subscribers will have access to TimeStorm
development tools, web-based support, and a vast suite of
documentation to customize and test their embedded Linux platform for
a given multimedia application.

   "Our partnership with Timesys supports Logic's goal of providing a
clear path to market for customers building Linux-based devices," said
Michael Erickson, director of software products for Logic. "Timesys'
world-class Linux platform combined with Logic's product-ready SOMs
greatly reduces the cost and risk of bringing new OMAP35x products to
market."

   "Logic's OMAP35x SOM-LV is a great way for embedded development
teams to accelerate their TI OMAP35x projects," said Greg Quiggle,
Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Timesys. "We are excited to
complement the solution by providing a robust Linux platform,
development environment, and support via LinuxLink."
