SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
May 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- IoT
World -- MontaVista® Software, LLC, a leader in Embedded Linux®
commercialization services, today announced the general
availability (GA) of MontaVista Carrier Grade eXpress (CGX) 2.0.
MontaVista® CGX 2.0 enables state-of-art development across a wide
array of intelligent device markets, from traditional networking
and communication to Network Function Virtualization (NFV), general
embedded and industrial control to Internet of Things (IoT). As a
fully integrated, pre-tested environment, CGX offers a truly robust
out of box experience for development teams.
MontaVista plans to follow a rapid release cadence to better
align with latest Yocto® releases for the CGX product family,
enabling adoption of newer Long Term Support (LTS) Kernels,
tool-chains, and emerging market technologies on a yearly basis.
CGX 2.0 incorporates Yocto 2.0, the LTS 4.1 Linux kernel, and GCC
5.2 initially supporting ARM (v7/v8) and x86 (32/64) SoCs (with
MIPS and PowerPC on roadmap).
MontaVista CGX 2.0 is packaged to address embedded developer's
requirements across various legacy and emerging markets. CGX
2.0 base platform (called CGX Foundation) is equipped with a core
feature set needed to produce a high quality embedded
product. Building on Foundation, CGX 2.0 introduces
additional technology profiles for IoT, Virtualization, Security,
Carrier Grade and Dataplane. These technology profiles offer
integrated and tested features needed to quickly bring to market
IoT Gateways, VNFs, and robust, high uptime telecom infrastructure
equipment.
"Our customers demand stable, high quality Linux distributions
they can rely on to build their solution. However, they have
been asking for more immediate access to newer technology enablers,
kernels, and toolchains. CGX 2.0 is expected to address these
customers' requirements on a yearly basis," cited Iisko
Lappalainen, MontaVista Marketing and Solution Architect Senior
Manager
MontaVista CGX includes new runtime components that integrate
with MontaVista DevRocket, an Eclipse-based IDE with development
tools that enhance productivity for both kernel level and
application-level engineers. Integrated memory leak detection,
performance profiling, memory usage analysis, and system tracing
combine to accelerate system development and maintenance, and
increase system availability. MontaVista Image Designer™ GUI
simplifies the creation of the smallest and highest performance
file-system. Finally, Application developers will benefit from the
QEMU simulator, accelerating schedules by beginning development
before real silicon platforms are available.
Accelerating product time to market while reducing total cost of
ownership and increasing scalability of product requirements is
what our customers demand. CGX 2.0 is designed to deliver
this and more. With CGX 2.0's ready to use platform and long term
support backed by MontaVista's Linux expertise and Professional
Services, 5G service providers, IoT Gateway manufacturers, and
emerging NFV applications can now take advantage of CGX features to
go to market with their solution.
MontaVista CGX 2.0 is shipping now.
