AMD and Mentor Graphics to Accelerate Open-Source Linux Development
for Embedded Systems
Embedded Systems Developers Gain New Options for Open-Source
Development Through Comprehensive Embedded Linux Support and Tools
on Upcoming AMD Embedded Processors With Mentor Embedded Linux and
Sourcery(TM) CodeBench
SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 1, 2014) - EE Live! -- AMD
(NYSE: AMD) today announced a multi-year agreement with Mentor
Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) to expand availability of
open-source embedded Linux development for heterogeneous and
multi-core processors from AMD. Dedicated to providing embedded
developers with a more manageable and focused open source
framework, the agreement will provide embedded developers with more
supported processor options, robust development tools, and greater
speed in open platform development.
As a Yocto Project™ compatible product, Mentor®
Embedded Linux will now bring standardized features and tools, and
ensure quick access to the latest Board Support Packages (BSPs) for
AMD 64-bit x86 architecture beginning with the upcoming AMD
Embedded G-Series system-on-a-chip (SoC) (codenamed: "Steppe
Eagle") and AMD Embedded R-Series APU/CPU (codenamed: "Bald
Eagle"). Embedded systems developers will have comprehensive access
to the Mentor Embedded Linux development platform for customized
embedded Linux development and commercial support, as well as a
no-cost Mentor Embedded Linux Lite derivative providing all the
essentials to evaluate Linux on AMD embedded processors.
To address the growing complexity of embedded systems, embedded
developers will also have access to Sourcery™ CodeBench for greater
insight into system execution, performance and debugging
applications in Linux-based embedded systems.
"Partnering with the largest independent embedded Linux and
tools vendor in the market today is an exciting step forward as we
continue to invest in the embedded market," said Scott Aylor,
corporate vice president and general manager, AMD Embedded
Solutions. "We are providing the embedded development community an
opportunity for choice, and this agreement with Mentor Graphics
brings the embedded community an open-source platform to help
tailor and expand their development."
"Mentor Graphics is excited to partner with AMD when you look at
their vision and product portfolio of innovative technologies for
embedded solutions," said Scot Morrison, general manager of
embedded runtime solutions, Mentor Graphics Embedded Software
Division. "We look forward to delivering the industry's most robust
open-source development ecosystem to market with the upcoming AMD
Embedded G- and R-Series products."
