'Our alliance with Wind River is a natural progression of Eurotech's BSP development initiative', said Mark Santo, Eurotech Group's Vice President for the Americas and President of Parvus Corp.
'We now extend device driver support to VxWorks, one of the industry's most widely adopted RTOSs - and one that is particularly relied on by our aerospace and defence (A and D) customers'.
The partnership with Wind River extends across Eurotech Group's global embedded computing companies: Parvus Corp in the USA, Erim in France and Eurotech in Europe and Asia.
Support for VxWorks will roll out for the companies' PC/104, PC/104-Plus and PCI-104 embedded processor boards and addon modules based on market demand.
The first BSP released by the Eurotech Group is for the CPU-1432 (aka SpacePC 1432), a fanless 64bit Pentium-class PC/104-Plus single board computer (SBC) with onboard Fast Ethernet and LCD interfaces.
Developed for Tornado 2.2/VxWorks 5.5, the CPU-1432 VxWorks BSP will enable customers who are building devices on the VxWorks platform to configure their systems more rapidly and develop software applications in a shorter timeframe.
'Wind River brings flexibility and choice to A and D device manufacturers by enabling VxWorks to be optimised across a multitude of leading hardware platforms', said Rob Hoffman, Programme Director, Aerospace and Defence Field Operations, Wind River.
'As one of our respected partners in the A and D space, Eurotech Group shares Wind River's long term commitment to giving our customers the agile solutions they need to create reliable device software for the A and D industry better, faster and at a lower cost'.
