USBware - Embedded USB Software Solutions - Provide Developers With a
Complete Hardware and Software Host/Device Production-Ready USB
Solution

Atmel(R) Corporation (Nasdaq: ATML), a global leader in the
development and fabrication of advanced semiconductor solutions, and
Jungo(R) Software Technologies, a leading provider of USB/PCI
software solutions, announced today the availability of Jungo's
USBware(TM) Embedded USB Software Stacks for Atmel's Smart ARM(R)

and device stacks provide high quality, production ready, and fully
featured implementations of the Universal Serial Bus standard
protocols and device class drivers.

"USBWare provides a simple and ready-to-use USB stack solution for
our ARM microcontrollers," commented Jean-Christophe Zettel, Manager
of Atmel's ARM-based Microcontroller Application Group. "The
composite classes for the USB devices, the OHCI stacks for small
RTOSes and the wide range of operating systems supported make USBware
a very attractive solution for the majority of the system designers
working with AT91 microcontrollers."

"Jungo is happy to enhance its existing partnership for Atmel with
USBware, Jungo's complete and AT91-ready software implementation of
the USB protocol," said Oren Manor, USBware Product Manager with
Jungo's Software Tools Division. "This collaboration provides
embedded engineers with complete USB hardware and software solution,
allowing our mutual customers to reach a design win quickly and bring
their USB products to market without delays."

The AT91 ARM(TM)7- and ARM(TM)9-based microcontrollers include
on-chip device and host USB functionality and come equipped with a
wide range of third party software including BSPs for all leading
RTOSes. Jungo's USBware features an operating system independent
implementation of the USB protocol, facilitating development with any
operating system, including common RTOS such as eCos/eCosPRO,
uCOS-II, OSE, ThreadX, Linux(R), Vxworks(R) WinCE, XPe, Integrity(R),
pSOS, MQX, Nucleus, embOS and proprietary 16/32-bit operating
systems. The partnership offers a pre-validated and complete USB
software implementation including low-level controller drivers for
the AT91 host and device cores and standard class drivers, allowing
developers to easily incorporate USB connectivity.
