NEWS 6/9 FOR RADISYS IN DEAL:
RadiSys and Intrinsyc announce embedded software alliance
BusinessWire, Monday, June 09, 1997 at 18:23
HILLSBORO, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 9, 1997--RadiSys Corp. of
Hillsboro, and Intrinsyc Software of Kirkland, Wash. announced today
that they have entered into a strategic embedded software
partnership for systems based on the Intel x86 processor
architecture and Microsoft operating systems.
According to the agreement, Intrinsyc and RadiSys will
cooperatively develop, license, sell and support a comprehensive line
of dedicated and embedded systems software development tools for the
embedded Windows(a) NT and Windows CE markets.
The RadiSys/Intrinsyc alliance revolves around three critical
drivers in the "Wintel" embedded systems software market: 1)
deterministic, real-time extensions for Win32(a) API-based OSes, 2)
scalability and deployment of the application and OS into the target
environment, and 3) reliability and fault tolerance necessary for
successful usage in mission critical applications.
The alliance will focus initially on integrating RadiSys'
INtime(TM) real-time extension for Windows NT with Intrinsyc's
Integration Expert (IX), a development tool for creating dedicated
and embedded Win32 API-based systems. RadiSys will offer
Intrinsyc's IX product to OEM customers who need the ability to
analyze, scale down and integrate Windows NT and the customer's
application for their target embedded system, as well as the
real-time Windows NT extensions that INtime offers. Intrinsyc's IX
automatically analyzes and captures the dependencies between any
Win32 based operating system and the application to create a minimum
target footprint configuration. Future joint development will
extend these technologies for embedded Windows CE systems on Intel
x86 processors.
Intrinsyc will integrate INtime into its WinFT(TM) application
that provides automatic software-based fault detection and
correction for mission critical applications based on Microsoft
Windows operating systems. Intrinsyc's WinFT enabled for INtime
will extend INtime's reliability with application fault detection and
correction, making this the industry's first software fault tolerant
real-time solution. Intrinsyc will also incorporate INtime into its
Intrinsyc SP, a visual programming environment for developing high
performance signal processing applications.
Derek Spratt, Intrinsyc president and CEO, stated, "RadiSys is a
highly innovative and progressive company with a technology roadmap
that parallels ours, making it an ideal partner for Intrinsyc.
RadiSys brings strong capabilities and an established presence in
the dedicated and embedded systems market that will benefit
Intrinsyc's ability to meet our customers' needs for complete
Win32-based solutions."
Alex Doumani, general manager of RadiSys' Embedded Software
Operation, stated, "Intrinsyc is developing technologies and
products that complement RadiSys' strategy for embedded Windows NT
and Windows CE. By integrating our technologies and cooperatively
developing new solutions, we will be able to offer our OEM customers
the best technical solutions for their embedded Windows
applications."
Intrinsyc Integration Expert (IX)
Intrinsyc's Integration Expert assists developers in the
creation and deployment of minimal footprint applications. The key
features of IX include automatic application dependency analysis,
source code profiling, OS configuration and target generation. The
analysis is dynamic, requires no source code, provides automatic
footprint calculation, and works for any version of Windows NT or
CE. Developers can use IX to improve the efficiency of their code,
optimize compiler flags, minimize memory requirements and manage a
set of programs/libraries that comprise a single target application.
Intrinsyc WinFT
Intrinsyc's WinFT provides software fault detection and
correction for Win32 API-based applications. The key features of
WinFT include watchdog services, checkpointing and exception
handling. The WinFT library can be embedded within any Win32
application to improve quality, reliability and predictability.
RadiSys INtime
INtime extends Windows NT with hard real-time capabilities and
deterministic performance. Based on proven real-time technology,
INtime provides protected, dedicated real-time execution and maximum
robustness for critical applications. With INtime, applications can
take advantage of standard Windows NT interfaces, tools and
off-the-shelf software and still deliver rock solid performance of
critical real-time tasks, even in the event of a Windows NT crash.
INtime's non-intrusive integration with Windows NT simplifies
compatibility with future versions and adds hard real-time
functionality transparently to the end user. INtime runs on
standard PC-compatible hardware and works with standard Windows NT
version 4.0 and its applications and development tools. RadiSys
shipped INtime betas in March and will ship the full production
release to OEMs later this month.
