Wilsonville, Oregon-based Mentor Graphics (http://www.mentor.com/), a developer of electronic design automation (EDA) software, disclosed this morning that it has acquired Embedded Alley Solutions (http://www.embeddedalley.com/). Embedded Alley's products are used for developing software on mobile devices which use Google's open source Android operating system or Linux as an operating system.
Mentor said in a news release that the purchase will give it access to Embedded’s Linux and Android platforms, allowing Mentor to “provide device manufacturers with all the software they need to build their products.”
“Mentor’s strategy acknowledges two strong trends we see in embedded device development today,” stated Glenn Perry, Mentor Graphics Embedded Systems Division General Manager. “One is a huge demand for Google’s Android platform in new, complex devices beyond the mobile phones for which Android was originally developed. The other is the growing use on multi-core processors of multiple operating systems, usually Linux and an RTOS like Nucleus. Our investment in Embedded Alley, and its products, open source expertise, and services, will allow our customers to innovate and build better products with power savings, performance optimization, and reduced system cost and risk.”
