'Continued innovation in the embedded VIA chipset family is setting new standards for low power dissipation at a high performance level'.
'General Software is pleased to offer VIA's customers Embedded BIOS 2000 support for this exciting new chipset', said Steve Dearden, General Software's Vice President Of Sales and Marketing.
'We look forward to empowering our mutual customers on many new VIA C7T and CN700 IGP based designs'.
The support module is offered as an option for Embedded BIOS 2000, the world's most configurable BIOS development kit.
Licensed in source code form, developers are free to tailor the BIOS to fit the exact needs of the device they are creating, rather than being constrained by architectures more applicable to desktop PCs.
