INTEL DEVELOPER FORUM - Wind
River®, a world leader in
embedded and mobile software, today introduced Wind River Intelligent
Device Platform, a complete software development environment built
exclusively for machine-to-machine (M2M) applications. The platform
addresses the security, connectivity, and manageability required for M2M
device development.
By 2015, intelligent systems will account for more than one-third of the
volume of all embedded systems worldwide, according to IDC*. From remote
health monitoring systems transmitting data to a doctor's computer, to
smart meters transmitting data on utility usage, to real-time traffic
data communicated to a vehicle's GPS, the spectrum of ways in which
intelligence from remote machines can and will be used is vast. With
these possibilities come opportunities for companies to use this data to
become more efficient, cut operational costs, improve customer
satisfaction, and create new revenue streams.
Wind River Intelligent Device Platform is designed to enable M2M
development by providing proven software and expertise to fuel rapid
innovation and deployment of secure and reliable intelligent devices. It
provides pre-integrated off-the-shelf components that can significantly
reduce a manufacturer's development time.
Wind River Intelligent Device Platform is based on Wind River Linux, the
company's industry-leading commercial embedded Linux operating system,
which is standards-compliant and fully tested. It contains security
features designed for M2M development, smart and connected capabilities
that enable rich network options, and validated and flexible device
management software. The core of the platform is a layer that contains
configuration and build information for integrating other M2M components
to generate an optimized, functional run-time image.
Wind River Intelligent Device Platform features the following:
-
Wind River Linux operating system
-
Validated and supported middleware stack, including virtual machine,
OMA DM, OSGi, TR-069, and home automation
-
Wide range of connectivity options, including 3G, Bluetooth, Ethernet,
Wi-Fi, ZigBee, and Z-Wave across PAN, LAN and WAN networks
-
Secure Remote Management, featuring customizable trusted boot,
grsecurity for resource control, TPM secure key migration and
integrity measurement
-
Wind River development tools including Wind River Workbench, based on
the Eclipse framework, and Wind River build system for software
integration
-
Web-based configuration management for device provision, setup, and
management
-
Supported hardware, including Intel® Atom? on a
Kontron board
-
Compatibility with the newly introduced Intel Intelligent Systems
Framework, a set of interoperable solutions designed to address
connecting, managing, and securing devices
"With the skyrocketing growth of smart connected devices, an
interconnected world is becoming a reality. Applications based on
systems behavior have become pervasive, and this is the crux of M2M
technology," said Santhosh Nair, general manager of intelligent systems
group at Wind River. "Connectivity, security, optimization, and
adherence to industry standards are required in order to successfully
develop smart connected devices and services, and this is precisely the
value that Wind River brings to the table. This platform maximizes the
value of M2M technology by building on an integrated foundation of
software, middleware, and board support packages with cutting edge tools
and development environments."
"Having a robust M2M solution which includes field-proven software,
end-to-end wireless hardware, and device cloud-connected services and
applications is key to making the most of the significant market
opportunity that exists. As a Wind River M2M partner, Digi is excited to
see Wind River further expand its capabilities in this space," said
Larry Kraft, senior vice president of global sales and marketing at Digi
International. "We look forward to continuing our collaboration with
Wind River to address the unique needs of the M2M marketplace, which we
believe is poised for solid growth."
Wind River Intelligent Device Platform builds on the company's existing
M2M technologies included in its Embedded Development Kit for M2M Smart
Services, a plug-and-play hardware and operating system/middleware
platform that is truly "application ready." To complement its M2M
capabilities, Wind River has a strategic set of M2M partners that
includes independent software vendors, value-added resellers, board
vendors, and distributors.
Wind River Intelligent Device Platform is currently scheduled to be
available in Q4 2012. Wind River is demonstrating an early release
version of the platform at Intel Developer Forum at booth No. 400. For
