    PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 12, 2006--TimeSys(R)
Corporation, the leading developer service provider for the embedded
Linux market, today announced the next generation of LinuxLink by
TimeSys(TM) with an unprecedented content upgrade, web-based interface
enhancements, and launch of new features that follow rapid growth of
the service.
    LinuxLink has gained traction by delivering continuously updated
resources to embedded developers via Web services. The LinuxLink model
embraces the nature of Open Source Linux development with frequent
updates and ongoing contributions, while providing commercial
integration and support. The LinuxLink subscription continues to
deliver value with the latest releases and expanded choice, as well
as:

    --  Validated, 2.6.16 LinuxLink support

    --  Greater than 30% increase in new and upgraded packages,
        patches and feature support

    --  Kernel debugging support (KGDB) across x86, PPC and Xscale

    --  Commercial-grade RT features such as Priority Inheritance and
        High-resolution Timers available to LinuxLink Real Time
        Subscribers

    --  Web-service and interface enhancements to support content
        expansion and 70% average monthly growth in Linux Link
        Developer Exchange interaction

    Only LinuxLink can rapidly deliver the latest Linux, validated
across x86, PPC, xScale and MIPS architectures - including support for
the newest kernel releases, updated packages, patches from
semi-conductor partners and the community to effectively support
embedded Linux development. With broad coverage across all major
architectures, LinuxLink now supports over 70 processors.
    "Since the launch of LinuxLink in September 2005, TimeSys has
responded to the requirements of its partners and customers with more
processor support; increased feature and package availability; and a
continued commitment to ensure that technology changes within the Open
Source community are rapidly and efficiently delivered to embedded
Linux developers," said Larry Weidman, CEO TimeSys. "Developers are
embracing LinuxLink. The Developer Exchange support model has gained
traction and drawn accolades for providing best in class
responsiveness from our semiconductor partners and growing customer
base. We are committed to delivering Linux content, developer tools
and resources to help LinuxLink subscribers meet their project goals
successfully."

    LinuxLink 2nd Edition Highlights

    First to market with validated 2.6.16 support:

    LinuxLink delivers support for 2.6.16 across major architectures
within weeks of the latest Linux release. New 2.6.16 features include
the integration of TIPC (Transparent Interprocess communication)
protocol for Network Equipment Providers and the integration of EDAC
(Error Detection and Correction modules) to improve fault-detection
and reliability. LinuxLink reference distributions have been rebased
to the 2.6.16 kernels. LinuxLink is staying ahead of the development
curve by making mainline support for new features available to
embedded developers while reducing testing and integration risks.

    Major Content Update:

    Significant content additions have been made in response to
customer requirements for additional features and root file system
applications. Source packages have been expanded 33% to 266 and Binary
targets with Glibc and uClibc have increased 40% (to 440) and over
400% (to 136), respectively. Expansion of LinuxLink contributed
content including device, feature and bug fix patches to 2.6.x kernel
versions enables greater choice and flexibility for embedded
developers.

    Kernel Debugging Support (KGDB):

    KGDB is a critical feature requirement for developers of new
device drivers and loadable kernel modules. LinuxLink support for KGDB
has been rebased to 2.6.16 and validated across x86, PPC, and xScale
architectures and supported reference boards and is available as a
standard feature for all LinuxLink subscribers.

    Commercial Grade Real Time Support:

    Real Time (RT) patches to the latest 2.6.16 based stable version
are available with LinuxLink Real Time Subscription. Open Source RT
efforts led by Ingo Molnar and Thomas Gleixner, include contributions
by TimeSys and other community members. LinuxLink 2nd Edition
refreshes RT patches to the latest, stable version of the kernel and
includes lightweight PI-futexes that enable the implementation of
userspace Priority Inheritance support layered on priority inheriting
kernel based rt-mutexes, as well as the new hrtimer implementation
that enables high resolution timer support on a clean and extensible
framework. LinuxLink provides developers who require RT functionality
for their design with a commercial grade solution, backed by TimeSys
and community experts within the Developer Exchange.

    Web-Services Enhancements:

    Feature, functionality, user-interface and workflow enhancements
have recently been released for LinuxLink and the Developer Exchange
in response to increased activity and subscriber feedback.
Reorganization of software repository components, documentation and
technical resource information were implemented to facilitate the
major content enhancements. User-interface and web-services updates
will continue to evolve in support of Linux software distribution
through a service-oriented architecture.
