AMX Standardizes Modero Touch Panels on Wind River Linux.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 -- Wind River Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :WIND), the global leader in Device Software Optimization Device Software Optimization is a concept promoted by Wind River Systems and CMP Publications at dso.com. It refers to a set of toolchains and analysis tools to develop and debug software for embedded systems. (DSO See CSO. ), today announced that AMX AMX American Motors Experimental AMX Aeromexico Aerovias de Mexico (ICAO code) AMX Air Mobility Express AMX Amberjacks (FAO fish species code) AMX Alabama Motor eXpress will standardize its Modero[R] Touch Panels on Wind River[R] Linux, the DSO industry's leading commercial grade Linux Platform. AMX expanded its existing relationship with Wind River after conducting an ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). (return-on-investment) analysis, forecasting up to $2 million in savings by opting for Wind River Linux instead of roll-your-own Linux. Additionally, by standardizing on Wind River's platform, AMX engineers will benefit from higher productivity and efficiency by taking advantage of Wind River's Workbench On-Chip Debugging tool suite and world-class support services support services Psychology Non-health care-related ancillary services–eg, transportation, financial aid, support groups, homemaker services, respite services, and other services . "Choosing Wind River Linux has enabled our engineers to spend more time developing the unique features that have always made our Modero Touch Panels such a customer favorite," said Rick Gelling, Director of Firmware Engineering at AMX. "Having successfully standardized a different AMX product on Wind River's VxWorks platform, we knew that Wind River's Linux platform would also be a great choice for our touch panels." "Wind River understands the complex needs of device developers and as such, we offer unprecedented flexibility and support to help them bring their devices to market faster and at lower cost," said Jason Pettit, Product Line Manager of Linux Platforms at Wind River. "We are pleased that AMX has made the decision to expand its relationship with Wind River and standardize on our Linux platform." In addition to selecting a Linux distribution The Linux operating system packaged for customers for a fee. It includes the Linux kernel, essential operating system components from the GNU Project, an installation program, various open source utilities and applications, documentation and technical support. , it was important for AMX to identify a debugging solution that was complete, comprehensive and improved the overall efficiency of its development teams. After careful consideration, AMX chose Wind River Workbench, On-Chip Debugging Edition to support AMX's goals to get to market fast, improve product quality by locating problems early in the development cycle and reduce costs by using the JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) An IEEE standard for boundary scan technology. See scan technology. JTAG - Joint Test Action Group interface and the industry-standard Eclipse platform. The ability to move seamlessly from hardware bring-up and debugging with a JTAG interface to deep software analysis is one reason AMX chose the Wind River solution. Gelling's team relies upon Wind River's complete development and debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. product suite, including Wind River ScopeTools for device software analysis. "We performed an ROI analysis and believe we can save up to $2 million over the next two years with Wind River Linux as compared to roll-your-own Linux," said Gelling. "Standardizing on one toolset across the company is very powerful from a cost-saving and productivity standpoint."
