Tuxera and Mentor Graphics Partner to Add exFAT and NTFS Support for Nucleus OS; Extend Android and Linux Leadership
Brings File System Interoperability to Mentor Embedded ReadyStart Platform
SUNNYVALE, CA – November 3, 2010 – Tuxera Inc., the leading provider of Windows-compatible file systems for Android, Linux, Mac and other platforms, announced today a partnership agreement with Mentor Graphics, a world leader in electronic hardware and software design solutions. Tuxera also announced Tuxera exFAT and NTFS for the Mentor® Embedded ReadyStart™ Multi OS platform that runs on Nucleus® OS as well as Android and Linux. The ReadyStart platform comprises integrated software IP, tools, and services targeting specific hardware boards and SoCs.
