ALAMEDA, CA ­ December 13, 2007 ­ Wind River Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:WIND), the global leader in Device Software Optimization (DSO), today announced that the LiMo Foundation has selected Wind River's commercial Linux technology as the foundation for its Common Integration Environment (CIE). The CIE solution, including Wind River's unique build and configuration system with layers, mobile-optimized kernel distribution, and tool chain provides the fundamental building blocks that will help LiMo members fulfill the Foundation's goal of reducing fragmentation in the Linux mobile handset market. This selection further validates Wind River's position as the mobile industry's standard open source platform provider since all LiMo member contributions will be based on this CIE.

"LiMo selected Wind River's technology because its unique environment is specifically designed to solve the fundamental problem of managing and integrating a rapidly evolving mobile phone stack and ecosystem, with contributions from numerous developers including mobile phone manufacturers, ISVs and the open source community," said Morgan Gillis, Executive Director of the LiMo Foundation. "With all future member contributions using Wind River's unique layers build system, Wind River will deliver a significant competitive advantage for LiMo. Wind River's support will further unify the mobile Linux industry and ecosystem."

To eliminate unnecessary complexity that increases time to market and development costs, OEMs and operators must reduce fragmentation in the Linux handset market. One means of reducing fragmentation is to standardize the mobile handset stack, from the Linux distribution to application framework and above – LiMo's core objective. To integrate these stack components, a common integration environment is needed where all component providers' contributions may be managed as both independent modules and an integrated whole.

By contributing key components of its commercial technology, Wind River provides a platform for LiMo to develop, test, certify, and deploy commercial products consisting of components provided by various members of the Foundation. The CIE will:

• Allow LiMo to easily manage components developed by the diverse engineering teams of its members, maintaining quality and ultimately time to market as different application and middleware components are contributed, assembled, and tested within the LiMo platform.


• Allow LiMo to easily update or exchange components, allowing OEMs and operators to differentiate their handsets while remaining within the LiMo standard.


• Allow LiMo to leverage a standard suite of components and applications for multiple projects, which is key to the LiMo mission of reducing time to market for Linux handsets while driving the greatest innovation and differentiation.


• Reduce debugging, test, and validation cycle time by minimizing challenges working with multiple versions of merged software.

"The selection by the LiMo Foundation to standardize its CIE on components of Wind River technology signifies that Wind River is rapidly becoming the commercial Linux platform of choice in the mobile handset industry," said Jason Whitmire, general manager of mobile solutions at Wind River.

Additional functionality
Wind River's CIE components deliver a software-based layered build system that allows LiMo Foundation members to intelligently build runtimes containing the modules and components by configuring in or out layers to tailor the build to the unique needs of each member. Each layer with the CIE may contain binaries, source code, differences to source code from other components, metadata, extra files; each can be at any level (libraries, middleware, userspace applications, kernel patches, kernel configuration changes, or new kernel modules). The CIE can co-exist with existing build systems and can support multiple ARM-core based hardware implementations. The CIE allows LiMo members to keep separate each class of intellectual property as defined by the Foundation: Open Source, Foundation Public License, and Proprietary within the same integration environment and build system.

ALAMEDA, CA – December 11, 2007 – Wind River Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:WIND), the global leader in Device Software Optimization (DSO), today announced the upcoming availability of Wind River Workbench® 3.0, On-Chip Debugging, the company's comprehensive JTAG embedded device development toolset for mitigating the complexities of on-chip debugging. Wind River Workbench, On-Chip Debugging includes support for key new processors in the mobile device market and introduces new enhancements designed to make device hardware and software development and debug simpler and more intuitive. Mobile device manufacturers can now leverage these new enhancements and existing Linux debugging capabilities to shorten design cycles and make effective use of their time to differentiate at the application layer.

"To fully realize and harness the power of processors for the mobile market requires a solid development foundation," said Sandy Orlando, Vice President and General Manager of Wind River On-Chip Debugging. "Wind River Workbench, On-Chip Debugging enables that by simplifying hardware and software development, providing a rich set of tools that are integrated into an open Eclipse environment. This latest release reinforces our leadership position in on-chip debugging and our commitment to providing developers the best solution for cross-target system level development tools by extending greater debugging solutions for the mobile device market."

"ARM designs processing systems to meet and exceed the low power, high performance requirements of mobile consumer devices," said Tim Holden, director of OS relations, ARM. "Wind River's support for the ARM Architecture including ARM® multi-core solutions extends the choice of software development environments available to creators of advanced handheld products."

"Freescale is a leader in the effort to provide advanced low power devices for the wireless and mobile market segments," said Aaron Shagrin, director of business development, Freescale Semiconductor. "Our customers expect a comprehensive development and on-chip debug environment with which they can deploy our i.MX family of applications processors. Our partnership with Wind River and our close cooperation in developing the feature set for Wind River On-Chip Debugging enables our mutual customers get to market faster and easier."
Wind River Workbench 3.0, On-Chip Debugging Enhancements:
In the growing mobile and handheld device market there is increasing pressure to get new products to market faster and at lower cost. Mobile developers need a solution that simplifies hardware bring-up and to debug the complex interactions between hardware and software with a single open solution. Key new enhancements in Wind River Workbench 3.0, On-Chip Debugging improves the ability for device manufacturers to debug and develop mobile device designs, effectively shortening design cycles allowing for faster time-to-market.

The benefits of Workbench's integrated edit-compile-debug capabilities are achieved allowing customers to tailor tool chains to best meet specific needs and to optimize the workflow.


• Integrated Development Environment (IDE) Support: Workbench is the leading on-chip debugging development environment fully integrated with Eclipse, and continues to enhance the IDE by adding views and capabilities to Workbench's Eclipse-based environment.

Addressing Development Challenges for Mobile and Handheld Devices
As most mobile devices contain multiple processing cores, maintaining a complete context of the entire system under development can be challenging for most on-chip debugging solutions. Wind River's technology-leading JTAG Server and JTAG Accelerator technologies provide high-speed JTAG debugging for multicore processors. Wind River's JTAG Accelerator technology allows for full JTAG bandwidth utilization while supporting today's complex 32- and 64-bit processors. Wind River's JTAG Server technology enables developers to connect to over 128 processors at the same time and actively debug multiple processors at once and within a single instance of an IDE.

Minimizing power consumption is an absolute requirement for today's mobile and handheld devices. Wind River's support for architectures focused on low power will enable customers to use this solution for devices targeted for the mobile and handheld market. Additionally, as the adoption of Linux continues to increase in consumer and mobile devices, Workbench, On-Chip Debugging support for kernel- and user-mode debug for kernel.org and Wind River Linux further enhances the offering to the consumer and mobile markets.
