| Wind River Introduces Software Platform for Internet of Things | | |
September 11, 2012 -- Wind River today introduced Wind River Intelligent Device Platform, a complete software-development environment built exclusively for machine-to-machine (M2M) applications. The platform addresses the security, connectivity, and manageability required for M2M device development.
By 2015, intelligent systems will account for more than one-third of the volume of all embedded systems worldwide, according to IDC. From remote health monitoring systems transmitting data to a doctor's computer, to smart meters transmitting data on utility usage, to real-time traffic data communicated to a vehicle's GPS, the spectrum of ways in which intelligence from remote machines can and will be used is vast.
Wind River Intelligent Device Platform is designed to enable M2M development by providing proven software and expertise to fuel rapid innovation and deployment of secure and reliable intelligent devices. It provides pre-integrated off-the-shelf components that can significantly reduce a manufacturer's development time.
The Wind River Intelligent Device Platform is based on Wind River Linux, the company's industry-leading commercial embedded Linux operating system, which is standards-compliant and fully tested. It contains security features designed for M2M development, smart and connected capabilities that enable rich network options, and validated and flexible device management software. The core of the platform is a layer that contains configuration and build information for integrating other M2M components to generate an optimized, functional run-time image.
Wind River Intelligent Device Platform features
- Wind River Linux operating system.
- Validated and supported middleware stack, including virtual machine, OMA DM, OSGi, TR-069, and home automation.
- Wide range of connectivity options, including 3G, Bluetooth, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, ZigBee, and Z-Wave across PAN, LAN and WAN networks.
- Secure Remote Management, featuring customizable trusted boot, grsecurity for resource control, TPM secure key migration and integrity measurement.
- Development tools including Wind River Workbench, based on the Eclipse framework, and Wind River build system for software integration.
- Web-based configuration management for device provision, setup, and management.
- Supported hardware, including Intel Atom on a Kontron board.
- Compatibility with the newly introduced Intel Intelligent Systems Framework, a set of interoperable solutions designed to address connecting, managing, and securing devices.

Wind River Intelligent Device Platform builds on the company's existing M2M technologies included in its Embedded Development Kit for M2M Smart Services, a plug-and-play hardware and operating system/ middleware platform that is truly application ready. To complement its M2M capabilities, Wind River has a strategic set of M2M partners that includes independent software vendors, value-added resellers, board vendors, and distributors.
