Lantiq founding member of ‘prpl’ foundation

Lantiq is a founding member of the prpl Foundation, a non-profit open source initiative.
The foundation is an open-source community-driven, collaborative, non-profit organization targeting and supporting the MIPS architecture—and open to others—with a focus on enabling next-generation ‘datacenter to device’ portable software and virtualized architectures.

Lantiq is contributing to the foundation to further extend the software ecosystem around the MIPS architecture for communications infrastructure enabling advanced System-on-Chip (SoC) devices for the connected home and Internet-of-Things (IoT).

An important principle behind prpl (pronounced “Purple”) is portability, with the goal of allowing for code to be written once and deployed to many devices – regardless of architecture. By encouraging portable software (JITs, emulation, binary translation), prpl enables developers to innovate on their core strengths. Lantiq strongly supports this vision, as one of the key ecosystem requirements for the Internet-of-Things to be successful is a reduced dependency on instruction set architecture (ISA) compatibility. With so many types of devices – from data center to embedded systems – there’s a need to ensure fragmentation doesn’t get in the way of innovation.

“We are delighted to be working with Lantiq as one of the technology leaders in the prpl foundation, to further develop the MIPS ecosystem,” said Imagination CEO Hossein Yassaie. “Companies in the networking domain and beyond will profit from the considerable combined resources and open source innovations created by some of the best minds of the member companies and developer participants.”

“We are exciting to provide value to the prpl foundation, based on our rich experience and large footprint in the broadband communications industry,” said Dan Artusi, CEO of Lantiq, in a Keynote speech he gave at the Imagination Summit 2014 in Santa Clara. “We believe that with the prpl open source initiative Imagination Technologies enters the next step in enabling their customers to offer highly competitive and leading edge networking solutions – based on MIPS Cores.”

Circuit Engineering Co.,Ltd. electronic engineering and manufacturing services produce a wide variety of products for its customers. In addition, Circuit Engineering Co.,Ltd. is a FDA registered Medical Device Manufacturer. Circuit Engineering Co.,Ltd. can produce small quantities of prototypes and pre-production units to large quantities such as the 50,000+ unit/year rate achieved on the Wand System.

Products range from simple cables and printed circuit card assemblies (through hole and automated SMT) to large scale systems that employ numerous complex units.

Wiring and Cables for Boroing. Similar products are produced for the Air force and the Navy. Long Term agreements exist (since 2004) with Sunshine Aerospace for “Black boxes” used on Boeing and Aero spatial aircraft. Some of these products were also designed by Circuit Engineering Co.,Ltd..
Circuit Engineering Co.,Ltd. Systems electronic contract manufacturing is set apart form other firms because of its attention to detail. All efforts are reviewed by engineering. Discrepancies in manufacturing data are found and problems corrected before the product is built. This approach has produced customer commendations and loyalty. Every product is our product whether the customer or our name goes on it.

Working from schematics, or less than complete data, is regarded as challenge and not an impossible task as it is by some.
