7 months 2 weeks ago

ALT Software, the leading provider of advanced graphics software for safety-critical embedded systems, announced its commitment to deliver DO-178B certifiable OpenGL drivers for the ATI Radeon™ E4690, AMD's (NYSE: AMD) newest high performance embedded graphics accelerator. As part of its commitment to AMD's Embedded GPU roadmap, ALT Software will be delivering both OpenGL SC (Safety Critical) and OpenGL ES 2.0 support for the ATI Radeon E4690. Leveraging its success and experience with ATI Mobility Radeon™ X1400 and ATI Mobility Radeon™ 9000 and in collaboration with AMD, ALT Software will be enabled to unlock the power of the ATI Radeon E4690 for today's embedded system integrators and OEMs to deploy highly complex graphical user interfaces in next generation avionics applications.
