"The RadiSys-General Software partnership delivers core and functionality at the BIOS level that was often unattainable at this price point and within the speed-to-market requirements for specialised products like mobile devices", said Craig Husa, CEO General Software.
"General Software helps product development teams and manufacturers to take full advantage of the Radisys hardware's impressive performance and functionality" Husa said.
Embedded BIOS with StrongFrame Technology is the sixth generation of General Software's firmware SDK solution for embedded x86 designs, having been deployed across the entire range of embedded verticals on more diverse targets than any other BIOS kit.
It offers the most flexible and configurable BIOS SDK available, with more than 1000 simple source-level build options, descriptive tables and with ~90 OEM-configurable callouts, all optional, to ensure OEM policies take precedence over industry norms for precise, dependable behaviour.
Using Embedded BIOS with StrongFrame Technology, BIOS developers can produce working prototypes in days and finish deployments in weeks, thanks to the new core's descriptive configuration management that uses intuitive and descriptive methods rather than assembly language.
