Wind River Ships Wind River Workbench 2.0

ALAMEDA, Calif.—June 21, 2004—Wind River Systems [Nasdaq: WIND], the global leader in device software optimization (DSO), today announced the general availability of Wind River Workbench 2.0, an integrated development environment (IDE) that supports the end-to-end device software development process. Based on Eclipse, the open and widely supported development framework, Wind River Workbench is the first and only cross-platform IDE to support VxWorks, Linux and proprietary, in-house operating systems. With Wind River Workbench 2.0, companies can standardize their development process, reduce overall software costs and get their end product to market faster.

Wind River Workbench is an open, standards-based software development environment that provides:

  • Deep tools capability for every development task

  • Broad coverage across every task and phase in the development process

  • Extensible framework, based on Eclipse, to integrate third-party and in-house tools seamlessly for total customization and scalability


"Since standardizing our device software development process on Wind River Workbench, we have increased development efficiencies, reduced engineering costs and improved both process and product quality. We have also been able to reduce the development cycle by 4-6 months," said Ilan Kepten, vice president of research and development at the Convergent Systems Division of Harmonic Inc., a leading provider of broadband optical networking and digital video systems to the world's largest communications providers. "Wind River's IDE allowed us to integrate the development process across remote sites, significantly improving developer productivity."

"Companies are demanding a development environment that supports multiple projects, target platforms, hosts, architectures and languages. They also want the efficiencies gained by using that same environment throughout the development process," said Dave Fraser, chief marketing officer for Wind River. "Wind River Workbench is the foundation of a comprehensive device software strategy, enabling our customers to build and run software better, faster, with greater reliability and ultimately lower costs."

On June 30, Wind River and Red Hat with Todd Brackett, president and CEO of the PTR Group, will host a Webinar about "Getting Started With Linux for Device Software Applications." Developers and project managers using VxWorks, Linux or in-house operating systems will learn how they can use Wind River Workbench to increase efficiencies throughout the development process.

Wind River Chosen by Echelon to Optimize Device Software Development

  • Echelon selects Wind River Platform for Industrial Devices
  • Platform for Industrial Automation enables Echelon to connect networks of intelligent devices to the Internet, providing its customers with the ability to automate and control their devices from a remote location

ALAMEDA, Calif.- June 7, 2004 - Wind River Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: WIND), the global leader in device software optimization, today announced that Echelon Corporation selected Wind River Platform for Industrial Devices as the device software foundation for its i.LON® 100 Internet Server. Echelon chose Wind River Platform for Industrial Devices because it enables them to develop software for the i.LON family of products faster, better, at a lower cost, and more reliably. By building the i.LON 100 on the Wind River Platform, Echelon can connect networks of intelligent devices as well as standalone devices to the Internet, providing customers with the ability to automate and control their automation systems or devices from any location.

"Our customers rely on Echelon to provide market leading device network infrastructure products that allow them to manage their automation solutions remotely – as a network or as individual devices," said Vijay Dhingra, Echelon's director of product management. "By building the i.LON 100 Internet Server on the Wind River Platform for Industrial Devices, we can spend less time integrating foundational technologies and more time developing software to meet the strict requirements for control reliability and performance, and the core needs of our customers."

Wind River is focused on providing its industrial customers with the software foundation and tools necessary to build, connect and manage intelligent devices from the factory floor to the enterprise. According to a recent Venture Development Corporation report, the industrial automation market is increasingly focused on innovation with an emphasis on software. In addition, while there has been significant technology turnover, real-time and reliability requirements remain critical as is the need for simplicity and connectivity.*

"By providing Echelon with Wind River Platform for Industrial Devices, we can help them optimize their device software development," said Michel Genard, vice president, platforms marketing for Wind River "Whether connecting industrial devices from the factory floor to the enterprise or other intelligent devices spanning across varying vertical markets, device software optimization allows our customers to create and sustain competitive advantage."

Echelon's decision to transition from VxWorks to Platform IA for its next generation Internet Server solutions illustrates Echelon's continued success with Wind River. Currently, Echelon's i.LON 100, i.LON 600 and i.LON 1000 all run on Wind River's VxWorks®, the industry's leading real-time operating system for device software. Echelon will begin building its i.LON 100 on the Wind River Platform for Industrial Devices in June 2004, with plans to build its i.LON 600 and i.LON 1000 shortly thereafter.
