TimeSys Embedded supports 2.6.21 kernel

   TimeSys is First Embedded Linux Vendor to Support 2.6.21 Kernel

             Continuous Updates Deliver Value to Customers

    PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 15, 2007--TimeSys Corporation
(http://www.timesys.com), the leading service provider to developers
in the embedded Linux market, today announced that LinuxLink by
TimeSys is the first commercial embedded Linux offering to deliver
support for the 2.6.21 Linux kernel. LinuxLink is a web-based
subscription service that simplifies embedded Linux development by
providing the optimized code, tools and support that organizations
need to accelerate their development and reduce their time to market.

    The release of the 2.6.21 Linux kernel is a significant advance
for embedded developers interested in the predictable performance
characteristics associated with real-time operating systems.
Improvements in this release include the implementation of high
resolution timers on top of the hrtimers infrastructure, as well as
dynticks, which provides improvements in power savings and
multi-tasking. One of the primary authors and contributors to this
long-running effort was Thomas Gleixner, whose real-time development
efforts are sponsored by TimeSys as a continuation of our long
commitment to making Linux the best OS choice for a wide range of
embedded applications.

    The first LinuxLink to include an optimized version of the 2.6.21
kernel is designed for the AMCC 405EP processor. The included kernel
adds integrated support for devices on the 405EP Taihu Evaluation Kit,
such as serial, ethernet, and USB ports, as well as Flash memory. For
more information about the AMCC 405EP LinuxLink, visit
http://lldn.timesys.com/products/amcc_powerpc_405ep.

    Unlike other commercial embedded Linux solutions, LinuxLink
connects customers with the latest advances from the Linux community
as soon as they are stable and ready for production deployment - no
need to wait for 18-24 month product for a new feature to be released.
With the continuous stream of updates delivered from LinuxLink,
additional processors will receive optimized 2.6.21 kernels in the
coming weeks. To see the list of processors supported by LinuxLink,

    "The 2.6.21 kernel is a big step forward for real-time performance
in Linux and TimeSys is pleased to be a leader in helping bring this
technology into the mainline kernel, as well as incorporate into our
product quickly so customer can take advantage of its capabilities,"
said Atul Bansal, CEO of TimeSys.
