CoWare Integrates Microsoft Windows Embedded CE on Virtual Platforms for Software Development
CoWare Joins Microsoft Embedded Partner Program to Give Windows Embedded CE Developers the Ability to Build, Integrate, and Test Software Before Silicon is Available
SAN JOSE, Calif. – December 11, 2006 – CoWare, Inc., the leading supplier of electronic system-level (ESL) design software and services, announced the CoWare Virtual Platform product family is now interoperable with the Windows Embedded CE operating system. As a result, companies developing Windows Embedded CE-based electronics devices can start their software development before physical hardware is available, which results in lower cost product development and faster time-to-market. “Virtual Platforms are transforming the way companies approach software development,” said Marc Serughetti, director of marketing at CoWare. “Integrating CoWare Virtual Platforms with leading run-time technologies for embedded devices such as Microsoft Windows Embedded CE, will help our customers realize the benefits of this new software development paradigm.” About CoWare Virtual Platforms for Software Development Virtual platforms for software development are fast and scalable models of the system hardware including the device hardware and the environment it evolves in. Unlike traditional software methods, virtual platforms combine execution speed, early availability, controllability, observability, and determinism with pre- and post-silicon usability. CoWare Virtual Platforms running Windows Embedded CE will enable companies to quickly develop software for a wide range of innovative devices for office automation, mobile communications, digital TV, and more.
