• IPv6 Ready Logo guarantees device to device interoperability
• IPv6 eases connectivity for secure next-generation devices
• Wind River Platforms with IPv4 and IPv6 dual capabilities provide the company’s customers with industry standard approved technology

Alameda, Calif.--October 12, 2004--Wind River Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:WIND), the global leader in device software optimization (DSO), today announced that Wind River received the IPv6 Ready Logo. The logo, which is issued by the IPv6 Forum, solidifies Wind River’s commitment to speed IPv6 adoption and guarantee device interoperability for its customers. Today, Wind River is amongst a select group of companies to have received the IPv6 Ready Logo, enabling customers to develop and run device software better, faster, at a lower cost and more reliably.

Wind River is dedicated to IPv6. The company provided the first-ever Platforms with dual IPv4 and IPv6 capabilities, allowing customers to meet the changing needs of networked devices. With the number of Internet-enabled networks nearly doubling every year, and the related increase in the use of wireless networked devices, the world is quickly running out of IP addresses to support the demand for connections. IPv6 will make ubiquitous Internet connectivity affordable and practical. With the integration of Wind River’s IPv6 network stack that received the IPv6 Ready Logo, customers are guaranteed a proven connectivity layer necessary to create the next generation of Internet-enabled devices.

"It’s fitting that we are the first device software company to achieve IPv6 Ready status,” said Marc Serughetti, director of middleware technologies of Wind River. "Wind River has been, and remains, committed to providing our customers with the most advanced connectivity and interoperability possible. Guaranteed IPv6 interoperability reduces the risk of products becoming obsolete and saves time in the development process, helping our customers succeed in today’s changing device economy. “

The IPv6 Ready Logo Program is a global qualification program that ensures products can connect with networks that use the new IPv6 addressing architectures. The IPv6 Ready Logo guarantees that manufacturers have access to Wind River IPv6-enabled DSO solutions to create interoperable and secure next generation devices. To obtain the IPv6 Ready Logo, Wind River proved that its products included IPv6 mandatory core protocols and can interoperate with other IPv6 equipment.

• Wind River Probe accelerates debugging from board bring-up through production and manufacturing
• Provides fastest high-speed USB connection, offering unprecedented debug efficiency
• Enables more design iterations per cycle and increases product quality

 

Alameda, Calif.—October 11, 2004—Wind River Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: WIND), the global leader in device software optimization (DSO), today announced the availability of Wind River Probe, a powerful connection cable with high-speed USB connectivity, enabling faster download speeds and enhanced debug performance. With the Wind River Probe, customers can increase product quality and free engineers to focus on product innovation. As part of Wind River’s strategy to provide developers a single development suite that supports system architects to application developers, Wind River Probe will be integrated into Wind River Workbench later this year, enabling development teams to standardize on a common development suite from hardware bring-up through application development.

“By bringing to market a faster, end-to-end debug solution, Wind River is increasing developer productivity and helping companies build better products,” said John Bruggeman, chief marketing officer for Wind River. “Our commitment to customer success makes Wind River one of the most trusted development partners in the device software business. And, with the Wind River Probe, our customers can now officially debug the debugging process.”

With the average lines of code in devices expected to surpass two million by 2006, device software development continues to grow increasingly more complex. Engineers are faced with the time-consuming task of scrutinizing and debugging multiple systems with more and more lines of code, which until now was often hampered by the performance or capability of available on-chip debugging solutions. What’s more, teams at different development phases often use debugging tools that are incompatible. Until today, the process as a whole remained inefficient, causing missed market deadlines and high rework costs.

Today, Wind River Probe provides the device software industry with a complete window into the device software development lifecycle. By standardizing on Wind River Probe, developers have the industry’s fastest high-speed USB connection between a host debugger and target microprocessor for PC-based development. It also provides a high-performance emulation system that offers industry-leading download speeds, overall debug throughput and unprecedented debug efficiency.

Key Wind River Probe features include:
- USB 2.0 connectivity: ease of use, plug and play, high speed
- 100Mhz JTAG clock speed capability
- Bus powered: no external power supply required
- Broad processor coverage support
- VxWorks OS awareness, ThreadX OS awareness, and Linux debug capability

The initial release of Wind River Probe will be with Wind River’s widely used visionCLICK debugger, for all JTAG based Power PC products and will support targets running VxWorks, Linux and ThreadX operating systems among others. Later this year, the Wind River Probe will be available as part of the Wind River Workbench development suite as well as expanded support planned for Intel, MIPS, and additional Power PC and ColdFire processor families.
