In close partnership with leading silicon vendors, GNUPro will support the MATRA MATRA Mécanique-Avion-TRAction (French defense company) MATRA Mechanique Aviation Et Traction SPARClet; NEC (NEC Corporation, Tokyo, www.nec.com, www.necus.com) An electronics conglomerate known in the U.S. for its monitors. In Japan, it had the lion's share of the PC market until the late 1990s (see PC 98). NEC was founded in Tokyo in 1899 as Nippon Electric Company, Ltd. VR4100 and VR4300; Motorola ColdFire; ARM 7DMI (Desktop Management Interface) The first desktop management standard from the DMTF. Enabling PCs to be monitored from a central console, it was superseded by the DMTF's Common Information Model (see CIM). and 7TDMI TDMI Transportation Demand Management Institute TDMI TD Securities Melbourne Institute TDMI Thumb Instruction, Debugger, Multiplier, ICE (ARM CPU features) TDMI Terence Detlef Max International ; Mitsubishi M32R/D R/D Rate of Descent R/D Radius/Diameter R/D Resolver to Digital R/D Rig Down ; and Hitachi H8/S. Cygnus' partnership with these proven silicon vendors brings customized solutions to meet each vendor's unique business and technical requirements. By working with these partners and their customers early in the design process, Cygnus is able to ensure optimized performance and portability, and drive their products successfully in the marketplace. Ray Newstead, senior manager of VR Series marketing for NEC Electronics, Inc. said about their reason for partnering with Cygnus, "As a global manufacturer and supplier of high-performance 64-bit MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second) The execution speed of a computer. For example, .5 MIPS is 500,000 instructions per second; 100 MIPS is a hundred million instructions per second. RISC processors, it is a priority to provide our industry-leading customers complete turnkey solutions to help quicken their time to market and reduce their overall design costs." "Silicon vendors and their embedded development customers are turning to Cygnus to provide development tools specifically tailored to support their chip designs," said Tom Barton, director of business development, embedded solutions, at Cygnus Support. "In order to provide cutting-edge, high-quality technology for our silicon partners, we work hand-in-hand with them to stay one step ahead of the market. Six months ago, at the Embedded Systems Conference East, we announced eight new ports; we anticipate at least doubling that at the Embedded Systems Conference in the Spring." Cygnus' GNUPro ToolKit Leads the Embedded Development Market Cygnus offers comprehensive support services that are unparalleled in the embedded development industry. The semiconductor companies and their customers that have chosen to work with Cygnus recognize that early availability of consulting services, development tools, and support services are critical to shorten time-to-market and time-to-volume production of quality products.

"Having their tools ported to our multimedia processor will give tremendous value to our 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 embedded development customers." The GNUPro tools suite consists of the GNU C/C C/C Center to Center C/C Combustion Chamber C/C Command/Control C/C Crew Chief C/C cabin cruiser (US DoD) C/C chief complaint (medical) C/C Channel-to-Channel C/C Communication and Collaboration ++ compilers, remote windowing, source-level debugger with graphical user interface graphical user interface (GUI) Computer display format that allows the user to select commands, call up files, start programs, and do other routine tasks by using a mouse to point to pictorial symbols (icons) or lists of menu choices on the screen as opposed to having to (GUI (Graphical User Interface) A graphics-based user interface that incorporates movable windows, icons and a mouse. The ability to resize application windows and change style and size of fonts are the significant advantages of a GUI vs. a character-based interface. ), macro assembler, linker, binary file utilities, and a comprehensive support service. The GNU development tool set is the most productive application development environment available in the embedded market today. Thousands of developers depend on the GNU tools to assure successful delivery of 8, 16, 32 and 64 bit designs.
