Aonix and LynuxWorks Ink Strategic Alliance; LynuxWorks to OEM Aonix Hard Real-Time and Safety-Critical Products.SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif. -- Aonix(R), a provider of solutions for safety- and mission-critical applications, announced today a strategic agreement in which LynuxWorks will market and distribute Aonix technology alongside its LynxOS product line. This memorandum of understanding A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is a legal document describing a bilateral or multilateral agreement between parties. It expresses a convergence of will between the parties, indicating an intended common line of action and may not imply a legal commitment. has been jointly signed by both companies with expectation to culminate in an 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 agreement between the companies within the next month. The final agreement will give LynuxWorks' Java(TM) and Ada customers access to Aonix embedded solutions integrated with the LynxOS product line. This agreement has immediate benefit because both Aonix ObjectAda and PERC PERC See: Preferred equity redemption stock product lines offer out-of-the-box support for LynuxWorks technologies. In the past, Aonix and LynuxWorks have jointly addressed a number of accounts including major companies in the Mil/Aero space. Together, they recently won a significant military program with a port of PERC, the Aonix industry-leading real-time solution for Java(TM) developers, and the latest versions of the LynxOS embedded platform from LynuxWorks. Success in this program and recent technology integration activities proves the strength of their joint offerings and positions the companies for this important next step in their strategic relationship. "Aonix is a key embedded technology provider offering leading solutions for both Java(TM) and Ada developers," said Robert Day Robert Day (1836-1914) was an Irish antiquarian and photographer. Biography Day was involved in his family's extensive saddlery business together with a sports shop well known to Cork anglers. , LynuxWorks VP of Marketing. "LynuxWorks recognizes the importance of providing comprehensive one-stop solutions for our customers. This agreement enhances our relationship with Aonix and allows us to provide a more integrated solution to our customers alongside our LynxOS and LynxOS-178 operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. ." "Aonix has a long history of supporting LynuxWorks platforms, providing high-performance solutions for both Java(TM) and Ada developers," said Gary Cato, Aonix Manager of Strategic Alliances. "LynxOS is an outstanding platform for our key embedded system Any electronic system that uses a CPU chip, but that is not a general-purpose workstation, desktop or laptop computer. Such systems generally use microprocessors, or they may use custom-designed chips or both. clients, and we are committed to providing ongoing PERC and ObjectAda technology for the LynuxWorks targets sought out by our customers." Aonix PERC technology supports LynuxWorks LynxOS and LynxOS-178. The newest PERC products--PERC Ultra and PERC Pico--complete an ideal end-to-end solution (jargon) end-to-end solution - (E2ES) A term that suggests that the supplier of an application program or system will provide all the hardware and/or software components and resouces to meet the customer's requirement and no other supplier need be involved. Compare: turn-key solution. for embedded Java See PersonalJava. development. PERC Ultra, with its compatibility with the broad range of off-the-shelf Java(TM) Standard Edition libraries and components, addresses the needs of complex embedded systems. PERC Ultra is widely used in applications such as network infrastructure, telematics, command and control, and office automation. PERC Pico, with its tight execution time and footprint constraints as well as its low-level device access, is designed for deeply embedded applications. PERC Pico is typically preferred for device control, sensor management, and safety-critical applications. PERC Ultra and PERC Pico run on LynxOS, either separately or cooperatively. ObjectAda 8.2 Linux and Solaris development platform targeting the PowerPC/LynxOS embedded platforms, both released independently from Aonix in February this year, include an Ada 95 compiler, Ada 95 optimizer, partial annex C support, partial annex D support, syntactic editor, and both graphical and command line interfaces. Additional tool chain components include a library configuration tool, program builder, source browsing engine, source registration and unregistration tools, source code reference tool, symbolic debugger, and graphical installer.
