CAMBRIDGE, UK, Oct. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Acadine™ Technologies, a Hong Kong-based startup delivering innovative mobile operating systems for mobile, wearable, and IoT devices, announced today that it has become the first systems software company to join the Linaro Mobile Group (LMG), the collaborative engineering organization developing open source software for the ARM® architecture.

LMG was formed in July 2014 to consolidate and optimize open source software for ARM powered mobile phones, tablets, laptops and wearables. The Group's engineers work have been focused on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), performance and power optimizations, graphics and GPGPU, and work with other groups in Linaro Core Engineering on other open source technologies.

"We are delighted to welcome Acadine Technologies as the first systems software company to become a member of the Linaro Mobile Group", said Robert Booth, Linaro's Chief Operating Officer (COO). "Mobile vendors are continually looking for a choice of operating systems and H5OS is a new and very interesting option that provides flexibility and customization for partners. We look forward to working closely with Acadine and the other LMG vendors to ensure the best possible open source mobile software is readily available."

Acadine Technologies is a systems software company specializing in innovative mobile operating systems for mobile, wearable, and IoT devices. Acadine's core product, called H5OS, is a web-centric operating system that is primarily based on HTML5, one of the open standard technologies of the modern Internet.

"Acadine is committed to make H5OS an innovative open mobile operating system and we're very excited to join Linaro," said Dr. Li Gong, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Acadine. "We believe that Linaro's experience in working with open source projects and the engineering resources that it and its members can apply to developing and optimizing platforms like H5OS will help us make our core product ecosystem-friendly to the community and customers around the world."
