Wind River has announced that it will participate in the Open Screen Project and become a worldwide scaling partner to bring the Adobe Flash Platform to Internet-enabled devices.

Wind River will license, distribute, and support Adobe Flash Player 10.x, Adobe AIR 2.x, and Flash Lite 4.x across its portfolio of Internet-facing platforms as well as offer integration, certification, and support for these products. First, Flash Player 10.1 and AIR will be incorporated with Wind River Platform for Android. Wind River will work with customers to integrate Adobe Flash and AIR with their devices and ensure that these devices comply with the Open Screen Project certification test suites.

“By licensing and supporting Adobe Flash across our portfolio, Wind River helps device manufacturers avoid the cost and complexity of integrating and certifying Adobe Flash on their own to ultimately get to market faster with Internet-ready products that deliver outstanding connected experiences for the mobile, auto, work, or home environment,” said Michael Krutz, vice president of worldwide solutions and services at Wind River.

With active participation in the Open Screen Project, Wind River will keep Flash open and updatable in its software stack as well as offer support customers upgrade services. By integrating Flash into Wind River’s products, the company says, device manufacturers can benefit from faster time-to-market and reduced cost and engineering effort. Application providers also can be confident that their Flash-based content and applications will run smoothly across devices that use Wind River’s Internet-facing software platforms, according to the company.

Adobe Flash Player 10.1 licenses and support are now available from Wind River. Licenses and support for Adobe AIR will be available following Adobe’s introduction of AIR for the embedded and mobile market segments.
