VirtualLogix to Support Symbian OS
VirtualLogix have announced that VirtualLogix VLX - its virtualization software product – will be the first to support Symbian OS, which is the market leading open operating system of advanced data-enabled mobile phones.
At London’s Symbian Smartphone Show today, the company will demonstrate a prototype of the Symbian OS running simultaneously with Linux on multiple mobile platforms.
This is the first product to support the Symbian OS on a virtualized mobile platform. VirtualLogix VLX allows original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and semiconductor vendor’s new ways to reap the benefits of virtualization in mobile phone design.
VirtualLogix is part of the Symbian Partner Network*, so is therefore committed to developing solutions based on the Symbian platform for the benefit of the mobile industry.
VirtualLogix VLX for mobile separates hardware management and application management on mobile platforms, allowing applications running on the Symbian OS to access a peripheral device managed by another operating system kernel, such as Linux. This adds extra layers of security for financial and high-risk transactions.
* “Members of the Symbian Partner Network have access to exclusive technical, marketing and business development benefits and opportunities, as well as a range of tools and resources, to develop on Symbian OS, quickly and efficiently.
“With straightforward licensing conditions and terms of use providing ownership and revenue opportunities from derivative works, the Symbian OS Development Kit includes test code, internal documentation, kernel and device driver programming interfaces and ROM building tools. Early access and frequent deliveries of the Symbian OS Development Kit enable pre-market participation in Symbian OS mobile phone development projects with rights to distribute derivative works directly to Symbian OS Customization Kit licensees.”
