RTSoft brings VxWorks™ based graphics applications to the new dimension


Moscow, Russia, September 25, 2001 - RTSoft Inc., a leading provider of software development services announces new degree of support for graphics applications on popular VxWorks™ RTOS by WindRiver Corp.

Due to the complex nature of graphics applications and enormous variety of graphics chips, many RTOS vendors suffer from the lack of adequate driver's support in their products. Even most successful companies like WindRiver, support quite limited choice of video drivers working mainly in low resolution modes. RTSoft is filling this gap by providing its customers with top-level graphics driver solutions enabling VxWorks™ users creating high-end graphics based applications.

"Many embedded applications nowadays require extensive graphics and video support, but RTOS vendors simply unable to keep up with graphics chips manufacturers in providing software solutions," - said Alexander Kaliadin, business development manager at RTSoft. "Starting October 2001 RTSoft offers comprehensive services in development of high-end graphics solutions including hi-res drivers, 2D and 3D acceleration and full integration with RTOS and underlying API. We specifically target VxWorks customers, mainly OEM's with this offering. VxWorks is very popular embedded platform, and used in numerous applications world-wide and we would like to bring additional value to new and existing customer base willing to design new generation of set-top boxes, DTV, POS, PDA and other graphics intensive applications."

"RTSoft can significantly reduce overall development time for any customer's graphics intensive applications," - adds Kaliadin. "Together with customer we can bring additional value to the project by providing high-end graphics support, while letting our client to focus on application itself. Graphics chips and custom accelerators tend to be more and more complex every day, even outperforming processor board itself. Coping with numerous registers, API's and graphics engines is tedious and time-consuming process, which can have dramatic effect on system design stage. The quality of code is also very important and directly corresponds to resulting performance."

New areas like 3G cell-phones demand exceptional video performance in resource constrained environment. High quality, compact and robust code is essential in such applications and RTSoft is committed to provide its customers with reliable and proven graphics driver solutions.
