Through this cooperation, NEC electronic customers can concentrate all from the development and product support from OS to middleware to NEC electronic companies (Figure 2). NEC Electronics customers need to purchase separately, such as chips from NEC electronic procurement, OS purchases from Montavista. To this end, customers need to develop middleware and drivers, causing waste during software development.
"It does not have the difference in the product by OS and middleware. Therefore, this part of the work is completed by semiconductor vendors, which can reduce the user's software development burden. This is especially important. This can be beneficial for customers to put energy into the application. Development of the content "(NEC Electronic Software Development Promoting Room Room Chang Guanggang Shengzhi). In addition, according to the agreement between the two companies, the development of Linux support package will be responsible for NEC electronics, and the development cycle will be reduced by 20% to 30%.
NEC Electronics issued a mobile phone application processor "MP211" using multiple CPU kernels on September 27, 2004, which will be the first development product of this package.
In addition, the embedded Linux provided by Montavista software has three types, which are "Professional Edition", "Professional Edition (Professional Edition)" for measuring equipment, "Consumer Electronics Edition", such as mobile phones, and mobile phones "Carrier Grade Edition" "of the base station and other infrastructure"
