MontaVista Gets Graphic

Developers using MontaVista's Hard Hat Linux (HHL) 2.0 Professional Edition will now be able to add graphics to their projects using the newly introduced Hard Hat Graphics (HHG) or the Qt/Embedded graphics toolkit from Trolltech, Inc.

HHG is an open source environment for building graphics-based applications for embedded devices. HHG incorporates Tiny X, a small footprint version of the X 11 Window system; GTK+, a multi-platform graphics toolkit designed for the X Window system; Glade, a Graphical User Interface (GUI) builder for GTK+; and the IceWM window manager, a small, lightweight window manager for the X Window system. As a foundation for future designs, HHG also provides an extensible multimedia platform for developing the next generation of digital multimedia devices. For developers using Trolltech's graphics toolkit, MontaVista is also delivering Qt/Embedded for HHL, a package designed and tested to work with Hard Hat Linux. This graphics toolkit for embedded Linux includes the Qt/Embedded GUI development environment and QPE--Qt Palmtop environment, along with Qt Designer, a full-function GUI builder, and Qt Linguist, which provides international language translation.

Both offerings will help developers create and deliver powerful graphics-based applications for Hard Hat Linux. Both are extensible and modular, provide access to source code, and are scalable to meet the sizing requirements of today's embedded devices.

MontaVista also announced at Linux World that Hard Hat Linux 2.0 will include support for the Intel XScale microarchitecture later this quarter. Hard Hat Graphics is available now directly from MontaVista to subscribers of the Hard Hat Linux 2.0 Professional Edition. Qt/Embedded for HHL is also available immediately to subscribers as a separate add-on product that will be royalty bearing for deployment.

Hard Hat Linux 2.0 for XScale will be available in the third quarter of 2001 to subscribers of the Hard Hat Linux 2.0 Professional Edition. The first embedded target hardware supported will be the Intel IQ80310 evaluation platform, featuring the 80310 I/O chipset with a 600 MHz 80200 StrongARM processor core.
