    PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 7, 2006--TimeSys(R) Corporation,
the leading developer service provider for the embedded Linux market,
today announced the latest update to LinuxLink with the release of a
major, standards-based Eclipse and CDT upgrade to Developer Suite.
LinuxLink by TimeSys(TM) is the first commercial offering to support

commercial-grade custom Linux platforms. Developer Suite is the tool
of choice for cross development and leverages the benefits of
LinuxLink to work with the latest versions of Linux kernels and tool
chains, while simplifying every step in the development process.
    This latest update based on Eclipse 3.1 and CDT 3.0.1, provides an

CDT for embedded Linux development," said Larry Weidman, CEO TimeSys.
"As the Eclipse platform has matured, TimeSys has continued to
innovate and extend the Eclipse platform to provide comprehensive
support across the embedded Linux development project lifecycle:
driver development, application development, Linux verification and
platform optimization. The LinuxLink Developer Suite combines the
power of an industry leading IDE solution with sophisticated web based
tools for creating and maintaining Linux platforms over multiple
product release cycles."
    While the Developer Suite provides all the functionality expected
in standards-based tools offerings, TimeSys continues to provide
innovative features that are targeted specifically for embedded Linux
developers. This unique strategy for embedded tools attracted a loyal
customer base and continues to capture adoption with LinuxLink
subscribers. Developer Suite provides the following key benefits to
embedded Developers:
