Wind River Adds CGL 4.0 Compliance For MIPS Architectures

Wind River has announced that Wind River Linux 3.0 for MIPS architectures complies with the Carrier Grade Linux (CGL) 4.0 specification from the Linux Foundation, a critical requirement for the telecommunications and high-end data networking markets. This includes MIPS-based multicore processors from Cavium Networks and RMI, and also extends existing CGL 4.0 support for PowerPC and x86 architecture-based processors from Freescale and Intel.

"Wind River already has demonstrated its commitment to providing embedded Linux on MIPS-based architectures," said Art Swift, vice president of marketing, MIPS Technologies. "Supporting the carrier-grade specification on Wind River Linux is another important milestone. This opens up new possibilities for our many customers in the networking and communications markets to create solutions for mission-critical workloads, while meeting performance needs."
