Build tools chosen for foundation of integration initiative
By P. J. Connolly
January 15, 2008 —
If anyone wondered whether the LiMo Foundation’s goal of reducing fragmentation in the Linux mobile handset market was all talk, the question may have received its first answer.
The foundation’s Common Integration Environment took a big step forward in December, with the announcement that it had selected technology from Wind River Systems as the core for the project. The Alameda, Calif.-based company’s build and configuration system will provide the “fundamental building blocks” for CIE, noted the company.
The company’s tools won the race because the “environment is specifically designed to solve the fundamental problem of managing and integrating a rapidly evolving mobile phone stack and ecosystem,” noted LiMo Foundation executive director Morgan Gillis in a prepared statement from Wind River.
The former Symbian sales honcho, who joined the foundation in September, added that as all future member contributions to CIE would use Wind River’s layered build system, the goal of a unified mobile Linux ecosystem had come closer to fruition.
The CIE is intended to allow LiMo to easily manage components developed by members, and allow the easy exchange and update of components that will allow OEMs and operators to differentiate their handsets while remaining within the LiMo specification. It is also expected to reduce the time to market and improve the quality of mobile applications by reducing the time required for test and QA processes.
