Mentor Embedded expands commercial Linux development tools for Freescale QorIQ devices based on Yocto project

USA: Mentor Graphics Corp. announced expanded embedded Linux development support for Freescale QorIQ devices with the Mentor Embedded Linux and Sourcery CodeBench products.

Embedded developers can make use of a commercially supported Linux solution that incorporates the recent release of Freescale’s QorIQ software development kits (SDKs) which are compatible with Yocto Project 1.2. The Yocto Project is a Linux Foundation open source initiative that provides standardized tools and resources for custom Linux systems based on any hardware architecture. The Mentor Embedded Linux product tracks and supports the latest versions of the Yocto Project including version 1.2 and version 1.3.

“Mentor is a preferred embedded software partner, and we recognize Mentor’s leadership in the open source development community,” said Michael O'Donnell, director of software ecosystem alliances, Freescale Semiconductor. “Mentor Embedded Linux for Freescale’s advanced multicore QorIQ products are ideal to help our customers deliver reliable and high performance systems to market.”

The Mentor Embedded Linux product expands board support package (BSP) support to the following Freescale devices:

* MPC8536DS, MPC8544DS, MPC8548CDS, MPC8572DS.
* P1010/14RDB, P1020/11RDB, P1020UTM, P1020MBG, P1022/13DS, P1023/17RDS, P1024/15RDB, P1021/12RDB, P1025/16RDB.
* P2020/10RDB, P2041RDB
* P3041DS, P4080/40DS, P5020/10DS, P5040/21DS
* P4080 rev3
* P5020 rev2

“The seamless integration of embedded software and hardware is critical for the performance of today’s electronics products,” said Mark Mitchell, GM of open source tools, Mentor Graphics Embedded Software Division. “As a leading provider of embedded software solutions, our Freescale board support packages will enable customers to quickly bring up their design for higher system performance, greater productivity, and efficiency.”
