ENCIRQ Works With Freescale to Transform Automotive Applications

ENCIRQ(R) Data Foundation(TM) Framework Supports Freescale mobileGT(TM) Platform

ORLANDO, Fla., June 22 -- Freescale Technology Forum -- ENCIRQ Corporation, the leading provider of high-performance data management solutions for embedded systems, announced today that it will work with Freescale Semiconductor to deliver an integrated solution to help reduce the complexity, risk and cost of developing sophisticated automotive applications. The ENCIRQ Data Foundation Framework will provide support for the Freescale MPC5200 processor, accelerating the development of intelligent automotive applications ranging from telematics controls units, to driver information and navigation systems, to instrument cluster control.

The Freescale MPC5200 offers manufacturers a resource-rich hardware platform that can unite in-car infotainment and navigation applications. The ENCIRQ Framework provides a unique foundation for developing the complex software that powers these applications, while simultaneously enabling new data-driven software capabilities and services.

"With automotive differentiation increasingly being driven by software, manufacturers are finding they need to take a more strategic approach to development," said John Smolucha, vice president, Marketing, ENCIRQ Corporation. "ENCIRQ plays a critical role in helping our customers deliver sophisticated software applications faster, with less cost and higher quality -- not only by providing a flexible software framework -- but by teaming with other industry leaders, like Freescale, to offer the level of integrated products, services, and support developers need to be successful."

"By working with innovative software companies like ENCIRQ, Freescale continues to raise the bar in terms of providing state-of-the-art solutions for the automotive industry," said Bob Pinteric, operations manager for Freescale's telematics business. "With the ENCIRQ Data Foundation Framework, our joint customers will have access to a world-class solution designed to transform the landscape of automotive applications and fully exploit the performance advantages of our MPC5200 processor."

The ENCIRQ Data Foundation Framework radically simplifies the creation of automotive applications. By reducing complexity, automating the generation of data management source code, and providing an ultra-efficient runtime environment, the ENCIRQ Framework is helping leading automotive manufactures to:

   *  Cut development time and costs by more than 30 percent
   *  Improve application quality, flexibility and portability
   *  Reduce memory usage and optimize system resource utilization
   *  Increase engineering capacity while enabling innovative data-driven
      software capabilities, services, and user experiences

The ENCIRQ Framework works with virtually any development style or architectural approach. It supports a wide range of commercial development environments, target hardware platforms and leading automotive real-time operating systems; including Freescale Linux, QNX Neutrino, and Wind River VxWorks. In addition, ENCIRQ offers a set of extensible reference applications and interface modules designed to jump-start development of the most common device applications.
