From an official
perspective??
My job at Xilinx is to provide our
customers with the 3rd party SW and IP support that they need for
their product integration of Xilinx?s technology. To this end I have to
consider not just the OS porting itself but tools and support as well looking
towards the user?s experience with the whole
product.
We (Xilinx) are engaged with
PetaLogix who we regard as a Tier 1 partner for our Embedded Ecosystem. They
are a real company with real product, however young they may be, and Xilinx
will continue to support them in their growth going
forward.
Because the popularity of uCLinux
and the amount of associated work (and open source Linux as well) continues to
grow, Xilinx has also engaged with a mature Linux company for uCLinux and open
source Linux porting, support and tools. Because of my position at Xilinx, I
can not say who this is until the official press release. This is not to say
that we no longer have a relationship with PetaLogix ? quite the contrary.
PetaLogix will be involved in these efforts. Five months ago John and I tried
to build a 3 way partnership with a company that would provide support and a
commercial tool chain to complement his OS product. This relationship would
have provided uCLinux developers a world class product followed by world class
support and world class tools. Unfortunately, this deal fell through and it
has taken until now to close with another
partner.
So, all this being said, it is not
John?s issue that there is not yet 2.6.11 support. If you need to question
Xilinx?s uCLinux 2.6.11 support then question me because it was my decision
not to fund PetaLogix directly for the uCLinux 2.6.11
port.
