“Cooperation of Talents in Hardware and Software Create a
New Standard Desktop-Like Development Environment Now Available in
the Embedded Marketplace.”

“Embedded Planet today announced the availability of an embedded
Linux development platform. The software development platform
called Linux Planet integrates the company’s RPX hardware and
firmware with HardHat Linux from MontaVista. It dramatically
shortens the time required to build embedded devices and makes it
easier than ever to do so with standard hardware and software.

“Embedded Planet combined their computing engines, I/O modules,
firmware and peripheral products into one solution, rugged enough
for development but is ready for prototype or production use. These
products are intended for integration into other products in a
modular fashion, making them solutions for PostPC Era computing.
The integration of the combined products creates a perfect platform
for embedded Linux.

“Linux Planet will be on display in MontaVista’s booth 165167 at
LinuxWorld in New York, February 2-4, 2000.
