SANTA CLARA, USA: Intel Corp. announced the successful completion of its acquisition of Wind River Systems Inc.
Wind River is a leading software vendor in embedded devices, and is part of Intel’s strategy to grow its processor and software presence outside the traditional PC and server market segments into embedded systems and mobile handheld devices.
Embedded systems and mobile devices include smartphones, mobile Internet devices (MIDs), other consumer electronics (CE) devices, in-car “info-tainment” systems and other automotive areas, networking equipment, aerospace and defense, energy and thousands of other devices.
“The acquisition will deliver to Intel robust software capabilities in embedded systems and mobile devices, both important growth areas for the company,” said Renee James, Intel vice president and general manager of the company’s Software and Services Group.
“This multi-billion-dollar market segment is increasingly becoming connected and more intelligent, requiring supporting applications and services as well as full Internet functionality.”
As a wholly owned Intel subsidiary, Wind River will continue to develop innovative, commercial-grade software platforms that support multiple hardware architectures that are optimized for the needs of its many embedded and mobile customers.
The acquisition will boost Wind River’s Intel-architecture focused sales as it gains access to Intel’s technology investments, brand, employees and global sales force.
Wind River will continue with its current business model of supplying leading-edge products and services to its customers worldwide. Wind River is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Intel, reporting to the Software and Services Group.

Operating systems used in embedded systems - Volume 2: Windows embedded and mobile
DUBLIN, IRELAND: Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Operating Systems Used in Embedded Systems - Volume 2: Windows Embedded and Mobile" report to its offering.
As part of its Embedded Software 2008 Market Intelligence Service, VDC Research Group (VDC) is pleased to release a study covering the worldwide market for the Windows family of operating systems/platforms that include CE, XPE, Point of Service, Mobile, Automotive, Server, and .NET Micro Framework used in the development of embedded/mobile devices/systems.
The report contains revenue estimates for 2007 shipments of Windows OS/platform solutions and forecasts of revenue shipments through 2010.
Market overview
The embedded market continues to grow and evolve as suppliers look to offer broader and more complete integrated solutions across the development, deployment, and management life-cycle spectrums for embedded devices/systems. This is a far different landscape from the early nineties when suppliers were compartmented and offered real-time operating systems or development tools.
Regardless of what type of system or device is being developed, software presents similar challenges; however, device software development requirements are more stringent when it comes to determinism, execution speed, footprint limitations, power management, etc.
Clearly, software has taken on greater importance in the development of devices. As a result, software concerns are increasingly managed like any other process that is part of product development including quality optimization, performance, manageability, and better efficiency.
Compounding these challenges is fast-moving silicon across a wide spectrum of processor derivatives, introducing added levels of complexity from multi-core/multi-processor architectures that have stepped up the software support from various market players and associations.
The ability to offer choice in the underlying architecture, standardization around tools, components and standards-based hardware, leveraging open source technology, and application-specific software platforms are all evolving trends that reflect a comprehensive development and life-cycle support approach.
In the end, it is no longer about a single component or components but about integrated solution stacks that address the complexity of device software development, deployment and management support. As such, the ecosystem of third-party strategic partners and their products take on greater significance as product niches are filled in within the solution and where professional services are available as a bridge to help customers achieve success.

Operating systems used in embedded systems -- Volume 1: Linux
DUBLIN, IRELAND: Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Operating Systems Used in Embedded Systems - Volume 1: Linux" report to their offering.
As part of its Embedded Software 2008 Market Intelligence Service, VDC Research Group (VDC) is pleased to release a study covering the worldwide market for Linux employed in the development of embedded systems.
Specifically, the research efforts focused on the market for:
* Commercial Linux distributions,
* Microkernel/virtualization operating systems used to enable the deployment of Linux-based embedded systems,
* Software development tools used to develop Linux-based embedded systems that are closely associated with development of the operating system, and
* Maintenance, support, and professional services related to the above products.
Although originally developed for general-purpose use on desktops and servers, the use of Linux within embedded devices continues to increase. The licensing cost advantages associated with Linux, the flexibility provided through access to its source code, and a general familiarity with its use provide a compelling value proposition to embedded system developers.
The ecosystem of applications and tools built in support of embedded Linux has also continued to mature as developers have gained more experience and knowledge of its use within embedded systems. Advances in the kernel and other enabling technologies have helped drive adoption in markets where Linux had limited penetration in the past.
However, challenges still remain in some applications/markets for certain embedded devices where small footprint, real-time support, and/or high levels of security are hard requirements.
VDC expects that embedded Linux will remain a viable option to other commercial embedded operating systems going forward. However, the continued evolution of the Linux operating system and other publicly distributed open source solutions will create ongoing challenges for commercial Linux solution vendors as well.
These Linux suppliers will be under increasing pressure to add additional, differentiating value to their solutions in order to justify the purchase of commercial distributions and tools over what is publicly available. In addition, distributions from hardware vendors and those bundled in software stacks and development platforms are becoming increasingly sophisticated and, in many cases, adequate for certain embedded projects' requirements.
