Although primarily residential, Palo Alto has aerospace, electronics, and advanced research industries. , Calif. & KYOTO, Japan -- Trolltech(R), provider of leading technologies that make advanced software faster to build and easier to use, and Nissin Systems, a major 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. integrator in Japan, today announced a partnership to provide Linux-based 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. solutions in Japan. Under the terms of the agreement, Nissin will resell Trolltech's Qtopia(R) technology, the most widely-used development environment and user interface for Linux-based products (Linux kernel The nucleus of the Linux operating system. The Linux kernel, which was developed by Linus Torvalds, was integrated with software from the GNU Project and other sources to create the actual Linux operating system. See Linux, GNU/Linux and kernel. Version 2.6), as part of a complete embedded software solution. "Japan is one of the most advanced and demanding markets, and it continues to lead the rest of the world in the development and adoption of sophisticated embedded technologies," said Haavard Nord, Trolltech CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . "While Linux is already widely used throughout Asia, our partnership with Nissin Systems will make the Linux/Qtopia platform more accessible to organizations that require the convenience of a complete software stack (1) A stack that is implemented in memory rather than in hardware registers. See stack. (2) A generic reference to a set of system programs or a set of application programs that form a complete system. See stack. . We are looking forward to working with an industry leader such as Nissin to expand our reach in Asia even further." Trolltech's Qtopia is a comprehensive software development platform and user interface for 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. . With Qtopia, organizations can efficiently build customized and feature-rich Linux-based technologies such as mobile phones, PDAs, consumer electronics and other embedded devices. A major reseller of embedded Linux products in Japan, Nissin will provide a turnkey embedded software solution to the Japanese market comprised of Qtopia, embedded Linux products and application software. "Qtopia with Linux is a powerful platform on which companies can cost-effectively develop customized software See custom software. that can be embedded into virtually any product," said Yoshikazu Takeuchi, member of the board, Nissin Systems. "Trolltech has become established as a leading innovator in the Asian embedded Linux market, and we are pleased to become a Trolltech technology partner in Japan."
