MOBILE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 18, 2003--Accelerated
Technology(R), the Embedded Systems Division of Mentor Graphics
Corporation (Nasdaq:MENT), today announced a version of the
Nucleus(TM) Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) for developers using the

application developers, and TI is pleased to work with Mentor Graphics
to make multimedia-rich applications a reality by offering this
valuable embedded development platform to our customers," said Gregory
Mar, worldwide marketing manager, broad market OMAP, TI.
The OMAP platform is comprised of high-performance,
power-efficient processors, a robust software infrastructure and
comprehensive support network for the rapid development of
differentiated real-time centric, multimedia-enhanced devices. The
OMAP architecture significantly reduces development costs by providing
developers with a full-featured platform for designing multimedia-rich
applications and devices such as wireless handsets and PDAs,
biometrics, web pads, telematics, gaming consoles, medical
instrumentation, point-of-sale terminals and more.
"The OMAP architecture has quickly become a popular choice for new
development and will soon be a driving force in the embedded industry,
especially in consumer devices. The Nucleus product line offers
developers a proven, royalty-free solution that takes full advantage
of the OMAP platform's capabilities," said Robert Day, director of
