LINEO SHIPS EMBEDIX SDK FOR X86

Software Development Kit Provides OEMs With Tools to Simplify Development
of Linux-based Embedded Systems
 

LINDON, Utah - June 5, 2000 - Lineo™, Inc., a leading developer of embedded
Linux® system software™, today began shipping Embedix™ SDK for x86, a
software development kit that simplifies the development of embedded devices
and systems. This tool set allows developers to include only the components
of Linux and other software needed for the specific solutions of Lineo's
OEM customers. Embedix SDK is designed to reduce the system requirements,
development time and overall cost of deploying embedded solutions. 

Embedix SDK provides the unique tools and technologies necessary for deploying
Linux across the full range of embedded devices and systems, from tiny
microcontrollers through multidisk backplane servers providing high availabilit
y services. Embedix SDK couples the benefits of the Open Source Linux
community with Lineo's embedded tools, technologies and professional services.

"Lineo is bolstering its position in the embedded Linux market with the
delivery of the Embedix SDK," said Bryan Sparks, CEO of Lineo, Inc. "Lineo
believes open source technology is developing at a faster pace and is
less expensive to implement and distribute than traditional proprietary
embedded operating systems." 
  Lineo Embedix SDK contains the tools and customized Linux components
necessary to manage, configure, optimize and deploy embedded software
solutions. Among these tools is Embedix Target Wizard™, a graphical configurati
on tool that allows OEMs to select Linux components, identify interdependencies
 and automates the configuration of a small, highly-specialized software
solution for embedded devices. Embedix Target Wizard also allows OEM developers
 to store customized configurations of embedded solutions, facilitating
identical replication of the software for future support, enhancements
or product shipments. Also included is CodeWarrior, the award-winning
integrated development environment (IDE) from Metrowerks, a Motorola company.
Embedix SDK also ships with a complete version of a Linux development
host operating system.					

Embedix SDK is supported by Lineo's Professional Services division, which
provides OEMs in Europe, North America and the Pacific Rim with options
for receiving local language custom engineering, training and technical
support.

Embedix SDK is available immediately for $4995 for an initial development
seat, which includes a one year upgrade and maintenance agreement. Multi-user
licenses are also available. Please contact a Lineo OEM sales associate
