Atmel and TimeSys Announce Free Linux Board Support Package for AT91SAM9 Microcontrollers

Rousset, France and Pittsburgh (ots/PRNewswire)

- Extends Established Working Relationship to Enhance Linux-based
Application Development
Atmel(R) Corporation (Nasdaq: ATML) and TimeSys(R) announced today
a free Linux(R) Board Support Package (BSP) for Atmel's ARM9-based
AT91SAM9 Microcontrollers. Supporting the entire range of SAM9
products, this BSP includes Atmel's Linux kernel and drivers, BusyBox
utilities for basic commands and features, and a Linux host/cross
toolchain capable of re-building the Linux kernel and the basic
packages included in the BSP. Together with a full documentation set
and support services, this offering provides a ready-to-use package
to validate Linux with Atmel microcontrollers.
This enhanced offering is a result of Atmel's continuing
participation as a Premier Partner in the TimeSys LinuxLink Onboard
Program(TM) and builds upon the successful working relationship
between the two companies. It covers Atmel's market-leading
ARM926EJ-S(TM)-based AT91SAM9260, SAM9261 and SAM9263
microcontrollers, together with any new products in this family that
are launched while the agreement is in place between the two
organizations.
Commented Alfredo Vadillo, Atmel's Managing Director for 32-bit
Microcontrollers, "The on-going success of our ARM(R)-based
microcontrollers depends on the quality of the infrastructure that we
build around it. The Linux community is an essential part of this
infrastructure, and the extended agreement with TimeSys enables us to
provide our joint customers with a faster method to deploy Linux on
our processors."
Adds Atul Bansal, TimeSys CEO, "We are pleased to have worked
closely with Atmel to develop this offering. At TimeSys, our goal is
to simplify and accelerate the work embedded developers undertake to
create a custom Linux platform. This offering will do just that."
Availability and Pricing
The introductory-level Atmel/TimeSys Linux Board Support Package
for AT91SAM Microcontrollers is available now as a free offering that
can be downloaded from http://www.timesys.com/atmel. Additional tools
and support are available from TimeSys to enhance this free offering.
They include a standard TimeSys LinuxLink subscription, providing
support throughout the entire development cycle, and full access to
repository, command line and graphic-based development tools, all
with frequent updates at a nominal cost per year. A Professional
LinuxLink subscription, including the TimeSys TimeStorm(TM) graphical
toolkit and on-line builder is also available on a yearly
subscription basis.
