"These situations require highly understandable and reliable source code that can be quickly adapted for unique applications, along with 'high touch' services including engineering, project management and support that other vendors are unable to offer," continued Husa.

General Software ( www.gensw.com ) specializes in solving difficult implementation issues across myriad devices and applications including ultra mobile PCs, medical, gaming, kiosks, point-of-sale, DVR, and commercial and military avionics .

With its flagship StrongFrame (TM) Technology, targeted cores can be created for a wide range of applications. Unlike other firmware offerings, which have a centralized proprietary core and architectural modules for CPUs, chipsets, and other components underneath it, StrongFrame(TM) allows the core itself to be a pluggable module, enabling many cores to be supported within the same framework.

StrongFrame(TM) Technology then leverages proprietary programming of CPUs, chipsets, SIOs, whole boards, and other building blocks across all General Software's specialized cores. The result is that the same set of silicon programming modules can be used across many unique applications.

With StrongFrame(TM) Technology, OEMs can quickly produce and differentiate motherboards for multiple markets, saving money and time otherwise spent on having to independently build firmware for these markets.

Original Device Manufacturers (ODMs) choose StrongFrame(TM) Technology cores to gain the strength, flexibility and long life expected from firmware supporting targeted applications that have special requirements, such as targeted PCs, mobile PCs, differentiated mainboards, industrial PCs, servers, telecomm/datacom equipment, and embedded devices with unique needs.
