Japan is one of the world's epicenters for the development and early adoption of embedded devices.
Developers and engineers in Japan will appreciate the tools and features in Embedix SDK 1.2J to more quickly deliver devices to market, at a lower cost, with the smallest embedded software image possible based on Lineo Embedix. The Embedix SDK previously supported the X86 and PowerPC processor families. Today, Lineo is expanding the processor support with Embedix SDK 1.2-J to also support Hitachi SuperH 3 and 4 processors. In addition, PowerParts middleware from Metrowerks is included to provide developers with graphical user interface development capabilities. Device manufacturers will benefit from the inclusion of these because of reduced porting work required by OEM customers and will accelerate their product development cycle.
