Altera, Wind River Announce Strategic Partnership To Deliver Operating Systems

(RTTNews) - Altera Corp. (ALTR) and Wind River announced that, as a result of their strategic partnership, they have developed and deployed tools and solutions for Altera's SoC FPGA devices. Wind River's operating systems and development tools support Altera's multi-core ARM processor-based SoC platforms.

By leveraging Wind River's embedded operating systems (VxWorks real-time operating system and Wind River Linux) and Wind River Workbench development tools, software architects and developers can realize the full potential of Altera's multicore ARM-based SoC devices and design high-performance multi-core real-time systems.

Wind River embedded operating systems and development tools are designed to support multi-core processor architectures and SMP (Symmetric Multi-Processing) with real-time optimizations. This includes Wind River Hypervisor virtualization technology that enables Linux and VxWorks to run simultaneously in an Asymmetric Multiprocessing (AMP) mode. All are now available on the Altera Cyclone V SoC and will be available soon for the Arria V SoC, Arria 10 SoC and Stratix 10 SoC.

Altera 28nm SoCs FPGA devices are available now. For ordering information or questions on pricing, contact your local Altera sales representative. Support for the 28nm Altera SoC devices is available now for Wind River Linux, VxWorks, Hypervisor, Workbench development and debugging tools including the Wind River ICE II and Probe.
