QNX Offering Speeds Development
For Gigabit Ethernet Networks
Designers of multi-layer and Gigabit Ethernet-enabled enterprise switches
can
now take advantage of the carrier- grade reliability and massive scalability
of the QNX Neutrino realtime operating system (RTOS). QNX Software Systems
today announced support for the Broadcom StrataXGS family of switch products,
and the availability of an optimized board support package (BSP) for
Broadcom's StrataXGS switch architecture, aimed at the creation of stackable,
highly integrated network switches, blades and routing equipment.
The QNX BSP for StrataXGS includes source code, documentation and several
runtime components that allow developers to get their designs up and running
quickly using the QNX Neutrino RTOS. The BSP can be used on Windows, Solaris,
or QNX Neutrino development hosts.
"The QNX Neutrino RTOS is an excellent complement to the StrataXGS chip
family," said Martin Lund, senior director of Broadcom's Enterprise Switching
line of business. "QNX Neutrino's optimized support for Broadcom's Gigabit-
enabled development platforms provides a choice to customers who need to get
their networking products to market faster and at lower development cost."
"The modular architecture of the QNX Neutrino RTOS provides networking
customers unparalleled scalability and reliability," said Sebastien Marineau,
senior netcoms architect at QNX Software Systems. "Now, with the availability
of this BSP, Broadcom customers can also jump-start their design process and
significantly shorten their development cycle."
QNX now provides optimized support for the entire Broadcom StrataXGS line
of
products, including the StrataXGS fabric (BCM5670 and BCM5671) as well as the
StrataXGS switch products (BCM5673, BCM5690, BCM5691, BCM5692 and BCM5693).
QNX also supports symmetric multiprocessing on Broadcom's award-winning SiByte
BCM1250 dual-processor system.
Availability and Pricing
The QNX BSP for Broadcom StrataXGS is available now. The BSP is priced at
$1734.
