Timesys, a provider of LinuxLink has launched a suite of Linux products and services supporting Altera’s Nios II embedded processor. LinuxLink is a commercial software development framework for building custom embedded Linux based products.
The LinuxLink software development framework gives Nios II processor users access to an intuitive environment for developing a range of Linux-based products.
The company said that the LinuxLink allows customers to accelerate their product development by providing access to open-source middleware packages, making it easy to create footprint-optimised Linux platforms with a set of APIs matched to their end applications. Developers can take advantage of both the online and desktop-hosted versions of LinuxLink’s build system.
The company claims that the desktop build system offers more flexibility than other Linux build platforms by allowing users to integrate third-party packages, custom applications and software.
LinuxLink includes an Eclipse-based TimeStorm IDE, providing tools for application development and debugging. The development tools help customers ensure the quality, reliability and performance of their final product, the company added.
Charlie Ashton, vice president of business development at Timesys, said: We are pleased to announce our support for the Nios II processor. The LinuxLink business model is well aligned with the requirements of Altera’s customers, and we look forward to good mutual success across a broad spectrum of markets, such as industrial control, medical equipment, consumer products, networking devices and other high-volume applications.
