Mentor Graphics Achieves Industry-First OpenMAX Conformance for Nucleus OS Multimedia Framework

WILSONVILLE, Ore., July 16, 2008 � Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq: MENT)today announced that the Nucleus� Operating System (OS) Multimedia Framework (MMF) has passed OpenMAX� IL conformance testing on the Atmel AT91SAM9261 platform, making it the first commercial OS to achieve such platform conformance validation awarded by the Khronos� Group. Reaching this industry milestone promotes easier porting of multimedia components to the Nucleus OS, speeding up design and delivery of multimedia applications.

�We are honored to become the first ever recipients of Khronos Group�s OpenMAX conformance validation,� said Neil Henderson, general manager for the Embedded Systems Division of Mentor Graphics. �For Nucleus customers, this industry-validated multimedia API solves portability issues and dramatically improves interoperability when working with multimedia components from different sources.�

The Nucleus OS incorporates a powerful user interface engine that enables the creation and customization of visually compelling, easy to use interfaces for consumer electronic devices such as mobile phones, personal media players and set-top boxes. Completely new designs can be realized without modification to the device�s software stack.

The Nucleus Multimedia Framework extends this capability, enabling rich audio and video content to be incorporated easily throughout a device�s user interface. Having certified OpenMAX IL interfaces further improves interoperability when porting and optimizing new multimedia components on this platform.

�This announcement marks the beginning of an era, where certified OpenMAX-based platforms enable the rapid and flexible deployment of streaming media acceleration on a wide range of silicon platforms and operating systems,� commented Neil Trevett, president of the Khronos Group. �The certified Nucleus OS MMF implementation offers developers a trusted and industry-certified environment, where they can take advantage of the full power of OpenMAX capabilities.�
