The modularity of the Linux kernel makes it well suited to embedded systems. (R) technologies and development tools, today announced the availability of TimeStorm(R) Linux Development Kits (LDKs) for Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing's (CWCEC CWCEC Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing ) SVME/DMV-182 Single Board Computer (SBC (1) (SBC Communications Inc., San Antonio, TX, www.sbc.com) A large, national telecommunications company that grew from a multitude of local and regional companies, including Southwestern Bell, Pacific Bell and Nevada Bell, into a single, unified brand by 2002. ) and CHAMP-AV III Quad PowerPC Digital Signal Processor A digital signal processor (DSP) is a specialized microprocessor designed specifically for digital signal processing, generally in real-time computing. Characteristics of typical Digital Signal Processors
TimeStorm LDKs come complete with a ready-to-run, hardware-optimized 2.6-based Linux distribution and advanced real-time capabilities, including schedulable hard and soft interrupt handlers, priority inheritance mutexes and a fully preemptible kernel. Full-featured LDKs for Curtiss-Wright boards also include the Eclipse 3.0-based TimeStorm(R) Linux Development Suite (LDS LDs See: Liquidated damages ), which speeds time to market by enabling developers to quickly define, install, bring up, develop and port Linux to their target platform. "TimeStorm LDKs bring all of the software and utilities that programmers need for Linux deployment and application development on the SVME/DMV-182 and CHAMP-AV III," said Tom Quinly, President of Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing. "TimeStorm LDKs also deliver the integrated real-time functionality required by mission-critical, harsh-environment applications in defense and aerospace systems, including tactical aircraft and armored vehicles that employ radar, sonar and signal intelligence."
