ADVISORY/LynuxWorks to Highlight Partner Demonstrations from IBM, LSI Logic, and Cavium Networks.News Editors/Assignment Desks/High-Tech Writers ADVISORY...for Monday-Thursday (March 29 - April 1) Embedded Systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. Conference San Francisco San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden 2004 SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 26, 2004 Embedded Software Instructions that permanently reside in a ROM or flash memory chip. Embedded software may be immediately available to the CPU or, for faster execution, may be transferred to RAM first and then executed. Leader to showcase security, choice and the proliferation of Linux across multiple industries WHAT LynuxWorks, a world leader in the embedded systems market, will highlight the unstoppable force of embedded Linux The Linux operating system configured and enhanced to work in a wide variety of applications, including handheld devices, network appliances, industrial machines and consumer electronics devices. The modularity of the Linux kernel makes it well suited to embedded systems. , the significant real-time performance of their 2.6 kernel, and the ever-expanding ecosystem growing in the embedded Linux world, through a series of demonstrations, presentations and partner announcements in the LynuxWorks booth at the 2004 Embedded Systems Conference. LynuxWorks, located in booth #1626 at the Moscone Center San Francisco, will host partner demonstrations from several leading technology corporations: -- LSI LSI: see integrated circuit. (Large Scale Integration) Between 3,000 and 100,000 transistors on a chip. See SSI, MSI, VLSI and ULSI. Logic RapidChip "Platform ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. " running BlueCat(R) Linux(R) - This architecture allows communications OEMs the ability to combine an ARM processor running BlueCat Linux with a rich set of IP available from the LSI Logic CoreWare(R) portfolio including link and protocol cores, memory controllers, bus interfaces and more. In order to get LSI Logic RapidChip projects up and running quickly the demonstration will also showcase integration with state of the art software emulation technology from Virtio. -- IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) 440GP running LynxOS(R) - demonstration of a rich set of features for communications designs supported with both LynxOS and BlueCat Linux from LynuxWorks for IBM PowerPC processors. This demonstration will also showcase LynuxWorks' high performance network stack. -- LynuxWorks will demonstrate Cavium Networks' support for high performance IP Security with Gigabit IPSec and high performance SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) The leading security protocol on the Internet. Developed by Netscape, SSL is widely used to do two things: to validate the identity of a Web site and to create an encrypted connection for sending credit card and other personal data. using BlueCat Linux, OpenSSL and FreeS/WAN integrated together with Cavium NITROX security processors and the Cavium Software Development Kit (SDK (Software Developer's Kit) See developer's toolkit and Windows SDK. SDK - Software Developers Kit (or "Software Development Kit"). ). Additionally, LynuxWorks engineers and strategic partners will also showcase how LynuxWorks' technology is used across multiple industries - from large scale systems to small handheld devices. With more than 16 years of embedded software experience, experts will present how LynuxWorks is driving the next wave of embedded Linux. Attendees are invited to the following presentations at the LynuxWorks booth, South Hall #1626: -- IBM Microelectronics will share product information on their newest PowerPC processors. Learn the latest on the IBM PowerPC 440EP, 750GX, 970FX, and others, and how these devices can be used in a wide range of embedded applications -- LSI Logic will address the growing design complexities and increasing cost pressures of developing complex custom ICs in a presentation titled, "Accelerating Custom SoC Design with RapidChip Platform ASIC and System CoreWare." -- LynuxWorks, a leader in support for communications equipment ranging from modems to network switches, will discuss the advantages that LynuxWorks offers to the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and developer in the areas of operating system reliability, standards support (including BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) The software distribution facility of the Computer Systems Research Group (CSRG) of the University of California at Berkeley. ), open source, protocol coverage and testing, IP security, network acceleration and support for system-on-chip designs. -- LynuxWorks will present an overview of the technology involved in designing a "Secure Embedded OS" and the implications of using it in secure embedded applications. The presentation will also review process methodologies needed for secure development and OS conformance to open standards. -- LynuxWorks will also present its strategy of giving the customer a choice in operating systems for development of their products. The presentation highlights a strategy that allows customers to reuse code across multiple product lines with varying determinism needs. A demonstration will show the ease of moving standard Linux programs to the real-time environment on LynuxWorks' LynxOS. WHERE & WHEN: The 2004 electronicaUSA with the Embedded Systems Conference will be held in San Francisco, CA, at the Moscone Center, March 29 - April 1, 2004. LynuxWorks will be located in the South Hall, booth #1626, during show floor hours. Media and analysts attending the show are invited to meet with LynuxWorks executives in the booth.
