The TRON Project has established the T-Engine Project to offer an open, real-time standardized development environment with the aim of achieving a ubiquitous computing environment where everything has a computer incorporated in it and is connected to a network. T-Engine offers the most suitable development environment for the efficient development of portable information devices and home electronic appliances and other network devices in a short period of time. The TRON Project's network security architecture, eTRON, has also been incorporated in T-Engine. This eTRON subarchitecture is intended to prevent tapping, falsification, and disguise of malicious users so that electronic information can be safely delivered to the other party through insecure network channels such as the Internet.
For efficient development, the hardware (T-Engine board) and real-time operating system (T-Kernel) are standardized and distribution of middleware is encouraged. Moreover, T-Engine is able to facilitate collaboration among chip makers, hardware makers, software makers and system manufacturers, encourage mutual business dealings, reduce development time and cost, thus enabling product offerings with a high additional value in a short period of time.
The combination of advanced semiconductors, packaging and software technologies in T-Engine makes it suitable and unrivaled for the development of advanced application products.
Based on the outline mentioned above, the T-Engine forum has been established to develop and research, and to contribute to the overall promotion of T-Engine.
