LINUXCON EUROPE – Wind River®, a world leader in
delivering software for intelligent connected systems, today
introduced the latest version of Wind River Linux. For maximum
flexibility and speedier development, customers can now access Wind
River Linux as binary code, in addition to source code format. The
new version is also updated with the current Linux kernel,
toolchain, and user space based on the upcoming Yocto Project
release.
Now, with simplified delivery of Wind River Linux as binary
code, customers can jump-start their projects by deploying the Wind
River Linux image directly onto their target system. The on-target
agent automatically updates binaries by downloading from Wind River
repositories. The self-hosted installation allows developers to
easily compile and deploy applications directly from the target
device.
Wind River Linux delivers the flexibility and innovation
that comes with open source, including support for the upcoming
Yocto Project 1.7 release and interoperability with other open
source projects such as Toaster and Eclipse, combined with the long
term commercial support needed for the lifetime maintenance of a
device. For example, as part of this comprehensive commercial
support and maintenance, Wind River provides assessment and
remediation support for on-going security vulnerabilities.
“Wind River delivers the fastest path to commercially supported
Yocto Project releases, and now we’ve simplified the delivery of
Wind River Linux to ease development for an even broader audience,”
said Dinyar Dastoor, vice president of product management at Wind
River. “Ultimately, by using Wind River Linux as a foundation,
customers can spend more time focusing on high-priority areas and
deploy projects faster with less wasted time. They can also rest
assured that they’re employing the latest open source innovations
and receiving the global support and long term maintenance that
comes from a leading commercial-grade embedded Linux.”
“A Yocto Project champion from the very start, Wind River
continues to nurture open source innovation. This is greatly
appreciated from the community, especially as software projects
become more complex,” Mike Woster, chief operating officer of The
Linux Foundation. “From easier access to the latest Yocto Project
releases to delivering commercial support, Wind River has been
active in helping teams tackle open source challenges in order to
move forward and focus on developing what is most important to
them.”
Developed from the Yocto Project open source development
infrastructure, Wind River Linux uses the latest Linux kernel as
its upstream source to ensure customers have commercially supported
access to the newest advancements from the open source community.
Wind River Linux includes hardware support for the latest ARM®,
Intel®, MIPS, and Power architectures. A highly versatile solution,
Wind River Linux provides a run-time environment that can be
tailored to scale across a wide range of projects, from general
purpose and high-performing real-time devices to carrier grade,
virtualization and highly secure military applications.
