An overview of RidgeRun
RidgeRun is the industry's first embedded open software company targeted exclusively toward wireless and multimedia products built on DSPs. In the high-tech industry, the widespread adoption of new enabling technologies is largely driven by consumer demand for expanded features and additional services. Today's consumers, well accustomed to the robust functionally found on their desktop systems, have come to expect this same functionality from their handheld devices.
Digital Signal Processors are an ideal fit for these devices. As the demand for these devices continues to grow, many of these new appliances based on DSP technology will be running embedded Linux to take advantage of the benefits of open software.
We introduced our embedded Linux software product, DSPLinux, in the second quarter of 2001. DSPLinux from RidgeRun leverages the power of Texas Instruments DSP architecture to a high performing software platform for wireless and multimedia products.
RidgeRun, Inc., has secured more than $5 million in equity financing through venture capital and corporate partnerships. The RidgeRun team has extensive experience in developing world-class embedded systems, fault-tolerant software and high-performance Linux solutions. The company is headquartered in Boise, Idaho with additional offices in San Jose, California, Osaka, Japan and Dublin, Ireland.
