Lynuxworks, which makes Linux software for embedded devices, has landed a deal with prominent chip designer ARM to bundle the two companies' products into a single embedded Linux development platform. The deal is a boost for Lynuxworks, which will gain visibility as a partner of one of the biggest names in embedded processors.

The platform, announced on Wednesday, is intended as a one-stop shop for developers looking to create embedded computing devices, such as set-top boxes, based on Linux. It includes Lynuxworks' BlueCat 4.0 Linux operating system software and VisualLynux Integrated Development Environment, together with ARM's Integrator Porting Platform hardware. This is based on the chip company's ARM920T core: it emulates the developers' planned system and lets them test software integration and functionality before the final hardware is available. --Matthew Broersma, ZDNet News U.K.
