Wind River has new software platform for Internet of Things

The Wind River Intelligent Device Platform is a complete software development environment for M2M applications with support for the new Intel Intelligent Systems Framework. It contains security features designed for M2M development, smart and connected capabilities 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 optimised, functional run-time image. Santhosh Nair, general manager of intelligent systems group at Wind River, commented: "Connectivity, security, optimisation and adherence to industry standards are required in order to successfully develop smart connected devices and services, and this is precisely the value that Wind River brings to the table. This platform maximises the value of M2M technology by building on an integrated foundation of software, middleware and board support packages with cutting edge tools and development environments."
