/> Wind River is an essential QorIQ and PowerQUICC partner with a long track record of support for Power Architecture®-based processors, said Raja Tabet vice president of Software and Systems for Freescale’s Networking and Multimedia Group. This agreement enhances our joint collaboration and provides our shared customers with outstanding developer technologies that fully leverage the capabilities of our most highly advanced multicore processors.

As embedded multicore processors grow increasingly complex, operating systems and tools must be silicon-aware and capable of fully leveraging the advantages of highly sophisticated SoC designs. Enhanced collaboration between Freescale and Wind River is intended to address this need for the ultimate benefit of QorIQ and PowerQUICC users.

Freescale's QorIQ products help to enhance the state of embedded multicore processing, and our continued support for this product family is important for Wind River and the larger embedded marketplace, said Jim Douglas, senior vice president of marketing at Wind River. We are delighted to strengthen Wind River's longstanding relationship with Freescale and expand our support for the QorIQ and PowerQUICC product families.
