Enea Upgrades Linux Configuration and Build Environment for NetLogic
Microsystems' Multi-Core Processors

Latest Version Leverages Timesys Partnership to Offer More Value to
Developers

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, March 20, 2011 - Enea (NASDAQ OMX Nordic:ENEA) today
announced that it has released a major upgrade to the Linux development
environment that it offers for NetLogic Microsystems' (NASDAQ: NETL)
industry-leading multi-core, multi-threaded processors.  The key
addition to the offering is Timesys LinuxLink as the configuration and
build engine of the platform.  Enea and Timesys recently announced a
strategic alliance focused on Linux and multicore.  Now known as the
Enea® Linux PlatformBuilder, the NetLogic Microsystems Edition (ELPB-NE)
is now available for the XLP™, XLR® and XLS® multi-core processors.   

The ELPB-NE is a full featured Linux development environment for
NetLogic Microsystems' multi-core, multi-threaded processors that takes
the developer from jumpstarting their project, into development and
through to deployment.  The product contains an Eclipse-based framework
offering a C/C++ development tool and GDB source level debugging tools. 
Timesys LinuxLink, a proven environment with over 10 years of use and
hundreds of customers, is utilized for easy configuration and build of
the embedded Linux root file system.  Finally, an integrated pre-built
SDK optimized for NetLogic Microsystems' XLP, XLR and XLS processors,
rounds out the package. 

“We are pleased to offer this enhanced development toolset for NetLogic
Microsystems' industry-leading, multi-core, multi-threaded processors,”
said Marcus Hjortsberg, vice president of marketing at Enea.  “The
addition of Timesys LinuxLink demonstrates the value and scope of the
strategic agreement we have recently entered into.  We expect that there
will be much more platform collaboration between our companies and this
collaboration will continue to make software development easier and
quicker for our customers.”

The integrated platform is available, free of charge, from both Enea and
NetLogic Microsystems. Enea will provide an optional, annual
subscription with support from Enea's global technical support team.  In
addition, subscribers get access to Timesys repository to utilize 1000+
tested, integrated Linux application packages, all verified for embedded
cross compile.   Also available in the repository are other run-time
components like rich multimedia libraries, carrier grade Linux
extensions and others. To fully explore and test different
implementations, LinuxLink Web Edition serves as a “sandbox” for trial
builds and configurations on Timesys cloud servers.  For those looking
to get up to speed or extend their knowledge, training modules and
videos are available.

Enea also offers wide range of proprietary software technology including
realtime operating systems and development tools to complement Linux on
multicore processors, as well as value add custom services in
conjunction including custom platform development, board bring up and
test and platform maintenance. 

“The latest version of the Enea Linux PlatformBuilder - NetLogic
Microsystems Edition is truly a full-featured development environment
that will enable customers to initiate system development quickly and
with a high level of confidence in the software they are writing,” said
Chris O'Reilly, vice president of marketing at NetLogic Microsystems. 
“With these enhancements, we elevate to a new level of ease-of-use and
comprehensive development environment.”
