Altera, Wind River work together to develop tools to support SoC FPGAs

Altera and Wind River have developed and deployed tools and solutions for Altera's SoC FPGAs. Following the collaboration, Wind River's operating systems and development tools now support Altera's multicore ARM processor based SoC platforms.

"As embedded system developers turn to powerful multicore platforms for power and performance benefits," said Dinyar Dastoor, vice president of product management at Wind River, "software content increases in size and complexity. By using our operating systems and development tools with Altera's multicore SoC platform, embedded system designers have a streamlined solution that leverages the key multicore benefits, while maintaining real time responsiveness and minimising risk to bring products to market faster." Chris Balough, Altera's senior director of SoC product marketing, added: "Wind River's commitment to provide support for the Altera SoC platforms with its proven operating systems and development tools will accelerate design development time and take our mutual customers from product prototyping to commercialisation faster."
