Enea Deepens Strategic Alliance with Freescale
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Companies to Jointly Develop Integrated Solutions for Networking Market
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, 26 April, 2010 - Enea (NASDAQ OMX Nordic:ENEA) today
announced a strategic agreement with Freescale Semiconductor, a global leader in
the design and manufacture of embedded semiconductors. Under the agreement Enea
and Freescale will deepen their technical collaboration to integrate Enea's
operating system family Enea OSE® with Freescale's QorIQ, PowerQUICC and
StarCore processors.
Key components of the agreement include collaboration on technology roadmaps,
sharing of intellectual property, and joint market and customer development.
End-to-end product alignment will be profound and start at the earliest stages
of design and carrying through the entire device lifecycle. The result will be
broad portfolio coverage, available at or near first silicon as optimally tuned
solutions that exploit the aspects of the processor's performance and features
accessed through a powerful, easy to use software architecture.
"The depth of this agreement and its importance to the future of the
communications industry can not be overstated" said Per Åkerberg, President and
CEO of Enea. "Our two companies have always had a strong relationship, but this
opens up completely new opportunities with Freescale's current and future
customer base. Our goal is to deliver state of art of platforms on which our
customers can build the next generation of communications equipment."
"Freescale firmly believes that open, stable and thriving ecosystems are
essential to accelerating innovation and preserving customer choice in embedded
markets," said Raja Tabet, vice president of Software and Systems for
Freescale's Networking and Multimedia Group. "Embedded multicore processors have
become extremely advanced, requiring highly optimized software platforms and
tools to unlock their full performance and energy efficiency capabilities. We
believe the addition of these deep strategic alliances to our well-established
ecosystem delivers what our customers need to leverage the full value of our
highly sophisticated multicore processors."
Per Åkerberg concludes: "Customers are increasingly looking for pre-integrated
processors and operating systems, a trend which is further supported by the
latest consolidation in the industry. With this alliance we are taking another
significant step forward in meeting that customer need."
Enea has a wide range of software support for applications like networking where
multicore processors are emerging as the preferred computing solution:
* The Enea OSE family of the realtime operating systems (RTOS) is the de facto
standard for several network equipment categories including 3G base
stations. Today, Enea OSE supports a broad range of PowerQUICC
communications processors. The latest edition to the line is the
award-winning Enea OSE Multicore Edition which is available for the
Freescale QorIQ family of multicore processors and includes specific
optimizations for the P4080 Freescales Datapath Acceleration Architecture.
* Enea® Hypervisor, announced in March this year, implements multiple high
performance computing environments on top of multicore processors including
the Freescale QorIQ P2020 communications platform. The Enea Hypervisor is
based on OSE micro kernel technology and runs Enea OSE applications at
native processor speeds without compromising any real-time critical
properties, and takes as guests Linux Operating System (including
Freescale's Linux implementation) and optionally semiconductor specific
executive environments for bare-metal speed packet processing.
* Enea OSE®ck, a high performance DSP operating system, and Enea® dSPEED, a
framework for managing multicore DSPs support the Freescale MSC8144 and
815x DSPs.
* Enea® LINX provides reliable, high-performance, interprocess communications
services that make complex distributed systems easier to conceptualize,
model, partition, and scale. Utilizing direct message passing, LINX is the
only IPC technology that easily scales from DSPs and microcontrollers to
CPUs
* The Enea® Optima tool suite builds on the open source Eclipse(TM) Platform
and C/C++ development tools technology and provides advanced system level
browsing, debugging, profiling and analysis tools that greatly simplify the
debugging and optimization of large-scale distributed applications spanning
multiple processing engines. Freescale support includes PowerQUICC, QorIQ
and Freescale Starcore-based DSPs. Enea Optima is integrated with the
latest Eclipse-based Freescale CodeWarrior tools.
* In addition, a broad array of Enea software products will also be available
on Freescale communications processors and DSPs including Enea® Element, a
high availability framework for building robust distributed applications,
Polyhedra® in-memory database management system and the Enea Netbricks® line
of telecommunications protocols.
