SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
July 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- ESC Embedded System Conference -- MontaVista®
Software, LLC, a leader in Embedded Linux® commercialization
services, today announced MontaVista Carrier Grade eXpress (CGX),
the next generation platform for embedded Internet of Things (IoT)
devices, 5G carrier grade telecom infrastructure, and Network
Functions Virtualization (NFV) solutions.
MontaVista® Linux® CGX, delivers carrier grade Linux
reliability, security, and serviceability that is highly
configurable and flexible. CGX meets the demands of the
interconnected intelligent devices, providing application
portability, dynamic configuration, field maintenance, and
real-time performance in a single platform.
As a fully integrated, pre-tested environment, MontaVista CGX
offers a robust out of box experience for development teams.
Developers can now choose CGX to achieve rapid time to market while
leveraging the flexibility of a true open source development
platform. CGX will incorporate emerging standards at a yearly
cadence, aligning with the latest Yocto® revisions. "The Open
Source Community continues to innovate at a much more rapid pace.
CGX is designed to give our customers the high quality Linux
distribution they have come to trust with MontaVista while enabling
them with new cutting edge features and standards to meet the
demands of emerging 5G, IoT, and NFV markets," states Sanjay Raina, MontaVista President.
MontaVista CGX is packaged as a base platform (CGX Foundation)
equipped with a core feature set needed to produce a high quality
embedded product. For market specific requirements,
MontaVista will offer additional technology profiles such as
Carrier Grade and Virtualization, adding in key features and
functionality critical for solutions in these vertical markets.
Application developers will benefit from the QEMU simulator,
accelerating schedules by beginning development before real silicon
platforms are available. Additionally, CGX will offer flexibility
to choose multiple upgrade options, including Kernel live patching.
This technique is particularly useful for applying small patches or
security fixes on the Kernel without taking a product offline.
It also greatly simplifies maintainability in conjunction
with RPM based user-land upgrade, essential for IoT devices. In
addition, MontaVista is introducing Docker® in CGX which allows
user applications (Docker containers) to be updated one at a time
in a layered fashion. An integrated hardware root of trust and
package authentication ensures complete security through the
upgrade process even in a very large scale deployment.
MontaVista's CGX delivers best in class open source Linux
technology that is pre-integrated and validated for Rapid
Development. It is complemented with services delivered by
MontaVista's world-class Engineering Services group to assist
customers in building custom solutions.
By accelerating the product time to market and increasing the
new platform enablement flexibility, while still maintaining very
long term support options, MontaVista is targeting the best of both
worlds for the next generation 5G Carriers, Telecom Equipment, and
IoT markets. MontaVista is currently working with strategic
customers with an early access program and CGX will be generally
available in 4Q2015.
Please visit MontaVista at ESC Silicon Valley 2015 for a live
C-RAN demo showcasing CGX.
