“LynuxWorks, formerly known as Lynx Real-Time Systems, is one of
several companies focusing on using Linux in “embedded,” non-PC
computing devices such as factory robots, handheld computers and
network routers. The acquisition of Integrated Software and
Devices (ISD) will help LynuxWorks bolster its services offerings,
especially in high-performance and crash-proof computers.”
“The acquisition, if approved by shareholders, also will give
LynuxWorks expertise working with Arm, MIPS and Motorola
processors, a representative for the company said. Terms of the
stock-for-stock deal were not disclosed.”
“ISD, based in San Jose, Calif., was founded in 1991. It has 50
employees. The company writes software and provides consulting
services for embedded systems.”
