Amiga Digital Environment Graphical Interface running on Microsoft Windows
Oct 30, 2000, Snoqualmie, WA - Amiga Inc., developer of multi-media, multi-platform digital environments announced the release today of its software development kit for Microsoft Windows.
The Amiga Software Developers Kit provides the initial tools and examples for developers to create applications that can run on desktops, information appliances, set top boxes, PDAs, and game systems without modification. Amiga uses Virtual Processor (VP) technology to erase the boundaries that separate different hardware architectures. Once a program is written, the same binary will run on every platform that Amiga supports. Software Developers running Microsoft Windows™ can focus on developing applications instead of porting to different platforms.
For developers, the new SDK creates a single environment that is scalable from handheld devices such as cell phones to multiprocessor servers. Current and future versions will enable compact, high performance and robust media solutions to be used across a broad range of devices using identical binary files. The New Amiga SDK is available through local retailers for $99.00 and from the Amiga web site.
"Amiga is committed to delivering operating environments to a plethora of platforms. The Amiga SDK for Windows is an opportunity to deliver a development environment to a large community that creates applications and for that community to deliver applications to different markets with no additional development costs," said Amiga Product Manager Matt Fontenot.
"We are very excited to be able to add Windows developers to the thousands of Linux developers already creating content for the new Amiga," said Bill McEwen, CEO of Amiga.
Amiga based applications can run directly on x86, PowerPC, M Core, ARM, StrongARM, MIPS R3000, R4000, R5000, SH 3, SH4, and NEC V850 processors. The Amiga OS can run hosted on Linux, Embedded Linux, Windows 95, 98, 2000, NT, CE, QNX4, OS/9, and soon Palm, EPOC, VxWorks, and others.
