Timesys and Swell Software Announce Partnership

Pairing Embedded GUI Tools with LinuxLink Accelerates Time to Market

Timesys Corporation® (http://www.timesys.com), a premier provider of embedded Linux software solutions, and Swell Software (http://www.swellsoftware.com), a leading provider of high-quality graphical user interface (GUI) software development tools, today announced a partnership to integrate Swell Software’s PEG® graphics tools with Timesys’ LinuxLink embedded Linux development platforms.

Upon release, the LinuxLink subscriptions will provide developers with a complete embedded Linux platform that has been integrated and tested with the PEG graphics development environment. This integration effort and technology partnership will greatly reduce the time and cost to develop sophisticated graphics on an embedded Linux platform, allowing users more time to focus on developing applications.

“Our customers frequently ask for PEG by name when developing high-end, low resource graphics solutions within an embedded Linux environment,” said Greg Quiggle, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Timesys. “We’re thrilled to provide a complete solution via LinuxLink for popular ARM-based processor platforms.”

”Porting PEG software to Timesys’ LinuxLink platform is a great opportunity to deliver a more compelling solution to our mutual customers,” stated Ken Maxwell, General Manager of Swell Software. “The ‘roll your own’ nature of LinuxLink, combined with the prototyping tools and graphics libraries that are part of the PEG toolkit, offer UI designers and application development teams the greatest flexibility and the fastest path for getting products to market.”

Additional information about LinuxLink subscriptions is available at http://www.timesys.com.

Interested users many request a free evaluation version of PEG software for Timesys’ LinuxLink or for a desktop prototyping environment. Visit www.swellsoftware.com/download/product_evaluation.php for more information.
