Together, they recently won a significant military program with a port of PERC, the Aonix industry-leading real-time solution for Java developers, and the latest versions of the LynxOS embedded platform from LynuxWorks.
Success in this programme and recent technology integration activities proves the strength of their joint offerings and positions the companies for this important next step in their strategic relationship.
"Aonix is a key embedded technology provider offering leading solutions for both Java and Ada developers", said Robert Day, LynuxWorks VP of Marketing.
"LynuxWorks recognises the importance of providing comprehensive one-stop solutions for our customers".
"This agreement enhances our relationship with Aonix and allows us to provide a more integrated solution to our customers alongside our LynxOS and LynxOS-178 operating systems".
"Aonix has a long history of supporting LynuxWorks platforms, providing high-performance solutions for both Java and Ada developers", said Gary Cato, Aonix Manager of Strategic Alliances.
"LynxOS is an outstanding platform for our key embedded system clients, and we are committed to providing ongoing PERC and ObjectAda technology for the LynuxWorks targets sought out by our customers".
Aonix PERC technology supports LynuxWorks LynxOS and LynxOS-178.
The newest PERC products - PERC Ultra and PERC Pico - complete an ideal end-to-end solution for embedded Java development.
PERC Ultra, with its compatibility with the broad range of off-the-shelf Java Standard Edition libraries and components, addresses the needs of complex embedded systems.
PERC Ultra is widely used in applications such as network infrastructure, telematics, command and control, and office automation.
PERC Pico, with its tight execution time and footprint constraints as well as its low-level device access, is designed for deeply embedded applications.
PERC Pico is typically preferred for device control, sensor management, and safety-critical applications.
PERC Ultra and PERC Pico run on LynxOS, either separately or co-operatively.
ObjectAda 8.2 Linux and Solaris development platform targeting the PowerPC/LynxOS embedded platforms, both released independently from Aonix in February this year, include an Ada 95 compiler, Ada 95 optimiser, partial annex C support, partial annex D support, syntactic editor, and both graphical and command line interfaces.
Additional tool chain components include a library configuration tool, program builder, source browsing engine, source registration and unregistration tools, source code reference tool, symbolic debugger, and graphical installer.
Aonix ADT (Ada plug-in into Eclipse) and compatibility with LynuxWorks' Luminosity product is expected in Q2 2006.
